Patent number: 11861649Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for concurrent processing of payments to multiple merchants in a shared program are described. A method, performed by a service computing device, can include receiving customer information associated with two transactions of a customer with two respective merchants that are in a shared program. Accrued benefits of the customer for conducting the two transactions in accordance with the program can be determined. The accrued benefits can be communicated to the customer via a customer device. The payments for both transactions can be processed, concurrently, in accordance with the accrued benefits. In examples, the merchants may be associated in the shared program based on locations of the merchants, a type of merchant, and/or goods or services offered for sale by the merchants.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Yongxue Qi, John Berian James, Amrik Kochhar

Patent number: 11651388Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for generating multi-merchant loyalty programs and dynamically enrolling customers into a multi-merchant programs. The multi-merchant loyalty programs can be generated based on a determination that the merchants in respective programs are complementary, which may be done by determining that items offered for sale are complementary. One merchant can be associated with multiple multi-merchant programs. In some instances, a customer can be automatically enrolled in a multi-merchant loyalty program responsive to conducting a transaction with one of the merchants in the program. After enrollment, the customer can receive incentives to conduct transactions with the merchants in the program.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Yongxue Qi, John Berian James, Amrik Kochhar
