  • Patent number: 11068951
    Abstract: In response to detecting that a first selectable element on a webpage or application page of a merchant has been accessed by a user, a computer system stores a visual representation of an item that corresponds to the first selectable element in a first space of the user. In response to detecting a selection of a second selectable element from within the first space, the computer system determines a threshold number of users to associate with the visual representation and creates a post in a network feed that includes the visual representation, wherein a third selectable element is associated with the post, that when selected, causes a user to join or vote for the first visual representation. In response to determining that a number of users that have selected the third selectable element meets the threshold number of users, the computer system initiates a group purchase for the item.

  • Patent number: 11068384
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for testing software applications in a production-like environment that simulates real-world failures of production environments. A production environment has production applications and databases configured to process user requests from users for conducting transactions with a service provider. A testing system provides an intermediate interface that enables a software application operating in the test environment to access at least one of a production application or a production database. The intermediate interface can be configured based on different failure configurations to simulate production component failures in the production environment. Failure injection and randomized failure modes can be employed, including for network-related failures (latency, dropped packets, connections, etc.) that might occur in the production environment.

  • Patent number: 11055716
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for risk analysis for fraud detection for electronic transaction processing flows. An entity, such as a user, business, or other personal or commercial entity, may interact with another entity in order to engage in a transaction, for example, a purchase, transfer, or other transaction process. The first entity may utilize a service provider to engage in transaction processing, which may provide multiple flows that govern the features provided to the entities. Such features may include fees required for transaction processing. In order to ensure that the entities do not fraudulently choose a flow type that decreases or cancels fees due, or does not provide certain protections to other parties, a risk analysis of the transaction and the account may be executed based on accessible historical data and identifiers. Thus, the entities may automatically be entered to one flow over another based on the risk analysis.
