I'm not sure what a transaction ID is.  All you need to transfer is to unlock the domain and retrieve the Transfer (EPP) Code:

Where can I find the auth code for my domain?

The authorization code or EPP code of your domain is needed in order to transfer the domain to another registrar.

To find the auth code for your domain, please follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
  3. Click on the domain name you want to transfer (it should be a link).
  4. Scroll down to the "Authorization Code" section.
  5. The auth code which is a unique string of random letters and numbers will now be displayed in the "Authorization Code" section.
You can also press the "New Code" button to generate a new authorization code.
NOTE: Your domain needs to remain unlocked during the transfer process; however, we recommend locking your account to ensure its security. Our system will automatically re-lock it within 1 hour for you, but it's always a good idea to re-lock it as soon as you don't need it to be unlocked.

The above is correct.  You just need to get the Name Servers from your Web Host and then set your domain to use those Name Servers:

How do I set my name servers for my domain?

To set your name servers, please follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
  3. Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
  4. Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
  5. On the DNS page, select the "Name Servers" setting from the top drop-down menu.
  6. There are two ways to set name servers:
    - If you are adding new name servers, select "Enter new or existing Name Servers" from your list of choices and enter your new name servers in the provided fields.
    - If you are using existing name servers, move down to the "Select from your Name Servers" option and choose the name servers from your existing list.
  7. Press the "Save Name Server" button to save your changes.

Please be aware that it might take some time for your name server changes to propagate.

Alternatively, you can also set your Name Servers when transferring your domain. To do so, while your item is in the cart, please click on the hardware icon. It will prompt you through a short two step wizard and guide you through the set up process.

To use domain on another webhost, you dont have transfer domain. Just change DNS nameserver in dynadot panel, to your new webhost.
