METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

摘要

A method for providing validated electronic commerce transactions is disclosed. A transaction order generated by a purchaser has a unique transaction identifier associated therewith and the purchase order is transmitted to a merchant and then to a transaction administrator. The transaction administrator contacts the original purchaser and provides the generated unique transaction identifier to confirm whether or not the transaction order was initially provided by the purchaser. Upon verification of origination of the transaction order by the purchaser and other transaction information, the transaction administrator notifies the merchant and the transaction may be completed.
