  • Patent number: 10387882
    Abstract: Details associated with a transaction are received from a first computing device. An identity of a party to the transaction is determined. An address to which communications to the party can be directed and accessed via a second computing device is obtained, where the second computing device is associated with the party. Confirmation data specific to the transaction is generated. The confirmation data is provided, via the address, to the second computing device. Confirmation of receipt of the confirmation data is received from the party. A set of payment options is provided to the part. A selection of a payment option is received from the party, and notice that the transaction has been completed is provided to the first computing device.
