transactionally

In deal terms

In a manner relating to transactions—discrete exchanges or operations that succeed or fail as complete units.

In computing and databases, transactionally describes operations where all steps must complete successfully or none take effect: The system processes updates transactionally to prevent partial writes.

In business contexts, it describes interactions treated as one-off exchanges rather than ongoing relationships: They approached the deal transactionally, focused purely on price.
