METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATING TRANSACTION REQUEST FUNCTIONALITY WITH WEB CONTENT

摘要

A system is provided for connecting a client device configured to display content and generate transaction requests, with merchant systems configured to receive and process transaction requests. The system includes an intermediate server and a payment data server. The intermediate server stores a web application including content, and delivers the web application to the client device. The content includes a selectable element for generating a transaction request. The client device detects a selection of the selectable element and sends a transaction request to the intermediate server, which identifies the merchant system associated with the transaction request. The intermediate server determines whether to supplement the transaction request with payment data associated with the client device. When the determination is affirmative, the intermediate server retrieves payment data from the payment data server, other additional data from a database, or both, and adds any retrieved data to the transaction request before forwarding the request to the relevant merchant system.
