<p>A method for facilitating transactions, conducted over networked computer systems, between customers and merchants, using an intermediary to complete the transactions. The customer establishes an account with the intermediary, and the intermediary subsequently issues customer user information to the customer. The customer may then access the intermediary's website, possessing a plurality of links to merchants' websites. After the customer has selected the items he wishes to purchase, he signals the intermediary instead of using the merchant's checkout system. Alternatively, if the merchant does not have a link on the intermediary's website, the customer can signal the intermediary to complete the transaction by e-mailing the URL to the intermediary. The transaction is completed by the intermediary by logging on to the merchant's website and completing the checkout process for the customer's order, giving the intermediary's credit card number and delivery address.</p> |
