A PAYMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A trading method and system (1) for the world wide web in which a service provider (2) acts as an intermediary between merchants (8) and purchasers (9). Customers of a financial institution (5) establish an account for the purchaser (9) who will often be a customer's child. The customer establishes limited credit usually by putting a fixed sum of money into the account. Further the customer and service provider agree rules which at the least restrict the merchant sites (8) which may be accessed by the purchaser. Beyond that the purchaser (9) can use the account as he or she desires.
