Processing Transactions

Tilia uses the concept of invoices to form the basis of Tilia transactions. These guides show you how to create and manage each of the supported invoice types:

  • Standard invoice : A standard purchase invoice involves collecting funds from the buyer and transferring them directly to the recipient or seller. Standard invoices work well in standard payment processing applications.
  • Escrow invoice : An escrow purchase invoice involves collecting funds from the buyer and holding them in an escrow account, until an agreed-upon condition is met. Once escrowed, funds can either be transferred to the seller, or refunded back to the buyer. Escrow invoices are commonly used with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and products on a blockchain.
  • Virtual token purchase : This type of invoice enables a user to purchase tokens from you for use in other transactions. Tokens can be spent using both standard invoices or escrow invoices.
  • Virtual token conversion : This is a special type of invoice that can be used to exchange a user's convertible tokens to fiat currency. Refer to Virtual Tokens for more information.
  • Payout : Payout invoices are used to request that funds be transferred from a user's fiat wallet to an external account (e.g. PayPal.) Refer to Payouts for more information.
