A method for selecting and processing payroll deduction as a payment option for articles purchased during electronic commerce. An employer authorizes selected vendors involved in electronic commerce to accept payroll deduction as a payment option for the employer's employees. The employer and vendor establish guidelines for utilizing the payroll deduction option during electronic commerce and the vendor stores the guidelines and identifying information for the employer and corresponding employees in a database in the vendor's computer. Thereafter, when an employee selects articles from the vendor's web site, the employee may select payroll deduction as the payment option. The vendor places the employee's selections and payment option in a file and forwards them to the employer. The employer may approve or reject the employee's selection and the vendor processes the order according to the employer's instructions. Then the vendor informs the employee about the status of the order. This method therefore affords authorized employees the option of using payroll deduction during electronic commerce. |
