Publication number: 20230394553Abstract: Transaction modification based on modeled profiles is described. In an example, transaction data can be received from merchant computing devices associated with merchants associated with a payment processing system. A model can be trained to generate profiles using, as training data, one or more of merchant data, buyer data, or the transaction data. Upon receiving an indication of a particular transaction between a buyer and a merchant, it can be determined that a characteristic of the transaction corresponds to a profile of the generated profiles. Based on the determination that the characteristic corresponds to the profile and the transaction data, a recommendation can be generated for a modification of the transaction to add an item or replace an item.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Abhay Kumar, Dan Hipschman, Rong Yan, John Berian James, Gian Perrone, Mai Leduc

Publication number: 20210042722Abstract: An automated online payment system may be used to process purchase payments between a buyer and a seller. When a payment is requested, the payment system may determine whether the corresponding purchase satisfies a purchase criterion, and if so, may defer certain aspects of settling the payment. For example, the payment service may determine the risk of deferred settlement and the likelihood that the buyer will make a subsequent purchase from the seller within a relatively short time period. If there is a low risk and high likelihood of a future purchase, the payment service may authorize the payment, but may defer capture of the payment until the buyer makes the subsequent purchase.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Jonathan Andrew Wolter, Gian Perrone, Paul Aaron

Patent number: 10810650Abstract: Buyer profile management is described herein. In an example, a payment processing service can store, in a database, buyer profiles associated with buyers involved in transactions with one or more merchants of the payment processing service. The payment processing service can receive transaction data associated with a new transaction between a buyer and a merchant and can determine whether the transaction data corresponds to any of the buyer profiles. Based at least in part on determining that the transaction data corresponds to one of the buyer profiles, the payment processing service can update the database storing the buyer profiles, wherein updating the database comprises merging two or more buyer profiles. A recommendation can be made based on the merged buyer profile prior to completion of the new transaction.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Abhay Kumar, Dan Hipschman, Rong Yan, John Berian James, Gian Perrone, Mai Leduc
