Along with a RESTful API, Vertical Insure offers a customizable W3C-standard web components to make it easier to provide your customers with insurance offers directly within your user interface without the heavy burden of developing your own user interface for our API. This also ensures that the insurance offers that are presented to your customers meet the standards within the insurance industry for marketing insurance products.
Insurance Quote & Purchase Flow
The general flow is to retrieve a quote either by using our quote API directly, or by displaying our Web Component. If your user wants to purchase the quote, create a payment for our sub merchant account in your payment processor, then send a request to our purchase API with the quote id.
- Place our web component, or build your own into your checkout flow.
- If a user opted into an insurance purchase when checking out, create a secondary payment with our sub-merchant account for the insurance total when processing the order on your backend.
- Call our Purchase API with the payment token and quote ID.
