  • Patent number: 11763362
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques in which a service provider may determine one or more capabilities of an authorization provider. To do this, the service provider may, upon receiving a request to determine authorization provider capabilities that includes at least an account identifier and an indication of a transaction type, identify a prototype message template associated with the indicated transaction type from a plurality of prototype transaction templates. The service provider may then overwrite a number of default data values with data values specific to the transaction to generate a prototype message for the transaction, which it may then send to the authorization provider. Upon receiving a response from the authorization provider, the service provider may determine whether the authorization provider is capable of conducting a transaction of the indicated transaction type based on information included within the received response.

  • Patent number: 11756011
    Abstract: Disclosed are example methods, systems, and devices for integrating payment API services provided by a service provider computing system with a client application. The client application running on a user device may allow a user to make payments and/or to submit payments for approval and may communicate payment information to a client computing system. If a payment is submitted for approval via the client application, the client computing system may make API calls to the service provider computing system to, for example, submit, view, and/or cancel payments. Payments may be approved by a second user using a second device. The service provider computing system initiates fund transfers for approved payments. Payments may be submitted within the operating environment of the client application without use of an application or website of the service provider.

  • Patent number: 11741438
    Abstract: A system and method for transacting cryptographic currency is described. An exchange database associated with a number of buyers and sellers is maintained at a host computer system. Cryptographic currency is received from one or more of the sellers at an exchange wallet associated with the exchange database. A match is created within the exchange database, including a buy offer for the cryptographic currency from a buyer and a sell offer for the cryptographic currency from a seller. A cryptographic currency withdrawal request is received from the buyer, and in response, the host computer system determines that a total amount of cryptographic currency represented in the exchange database matches a total amount of the cryptographic currency within the exchange wallet, transfers the cryptographic currency to the buyer's wallet, and updates the exchange database by deducting a first value of the cryptographic currency that is transferred to the buyer's wallet.
