Abstract: The method includes generating a token using a token generator, the token being associated with time data and a transaction modifier, and using an advertiser system in communication with the token generator to associate the token with an advertisement displayed at a time of display corresponding with the time data. A transaction is then established using a payment gateway upon receiving a transaction request, relating to the advertised content. The transaction is then executed, through the payment gateway, with initial payment credentials if the token is not supplied while establishing the transaction, and executing a transaction, through the payment gateway, with modified payment credentials if the token is supplied while establishing the transaction. A data tuple is the received and stored, at a data repository, the data tuple comprising a record of the transaction, the advertised content and at least one of the time data and the time of display.
