--- SERVICES BY E-OSCAR® · BUSINESS GUIDE
Everything your team needs
to contract, launch, and operate the API.
For contracting authorities, billing contacts, compliance teams, and project sponsors. This guide covers the business side of implementation — pricing, contracts, and what to expect at each stage.
--- OVERVIEW
What you are contracting for
Services by e-OSCAR is a REST API integration that lets your organization process e-OSCAR transactions inside your own system of record — without anyone logging into the e-OSCAR interactive application to handle them daily.
Supported transaction types
--- AUTHENTICATION
Prerequisites
Both contractual and technical prerequisites must be satisfied before any work can begin. Delays on either side will hold up the entire implementation.
--- IMPLEMENTATION
The 7-stage roadmap
Implementation follows a defined sequential path. No stage can be skipped or reordered.
--- PRICING
Implementation follows a defined sequential path. No stage can be skipped or reordered.
Services by e-OSCAR has three cost components: a one-time onboarding fee, a monthly API service fee (tier-based), and optional ongoing Stage data loads post-launch.
Monthly API Service Fee — Pricing Tiers
Your monthly fee is determined by a proprietary algorithm based on your prior 12 months of e-OSCAR transaction patterns. Your initial tier is set before production launch and re-evaluated 360 days after go-live. Tier increases require at least 30 days written notice and cannot occur more than once per 12-month period.
