Patent number: 11551202Abstract: Method to generate onboarding flow for application starts with on-boarding server receiving request from electronic device to activate application. On-boarding server determines whether request is initial request. Request is determined to be initial request when minimal set of information associated with user is not stored in on-boarding server. When request is determined to be initial request, on-boarding server signals to electronic device to display request for minimal set of information associated with user which includes at least one of: user identification, legal name, phone number, or email address. Minimal set of information associated with user is then received and stored in on-boarding server. On-boarding server signals to allow initial access to application. Signaling to allow initial access includes signaling that user requires access to payment processing hardware to process user's physical payment instrument.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: STRIPE, INC.Inventor: Steven Henry Noble
