  • Publication number: 20260127688
    Abstract: Downloading a pre-configured application, or a part thereof, through an interactable element presented via a computing device is described. In an example, an interactable element associated with a point-of-sale application executing on a first merchant computing device of a merchant is generated and is caused to be presented via the point-of-sale application executing on the first merchant computing device. An indication of an interaction between a second merchant computing device and the interactable element is received from the second merchant computing device of the merchant, and, based at least in part on receiving the indication, at least part of the point-of-sale application is caused to be downloaded on the second merchant computing device with preconfigured device settings that mirror device settings of the point-of-sale application executing on the first merchant computing device.

  • Patent number: 12548094
    Abstract: Embedding applications, or parts thereof, into other applications, or parts thereof, is described. In an example, an engagement with a first application associated with a merchant can be detected, which can cause the first application to add a user to a waitlist associated with a merchant location of the merchant, and a notification can be sent to a user computing device of the user. Detecting an interaction with an interactable element of the notification can trigger a second application associated with the merchant to be initialized in response to the engagement. In at least one example, the first application can provisionally transition to the second application, or a part thereof. Based at least in part on detecting a user interaction with the second application, and a menu can be presented via a user interface associated with the second application via the user computing device.

In an example, an engagement with a first application, or a part thereof, can be detected, which can trigger a second application, or a part thereof, to be initialized in response to the engagement. In at least one example, the first application, or a part thereof, can provisionally transfer to the second application, or a part thereof. Based at least in part on detecting a user interaction with the second application, or a part thereof, a portion of the user interaction can be embedded in the first application, or a part thereof, and the embedded portion of the user interaction can be presented via a user interface associated with the first application, or part thereof, via a user computing device.

  • Patent number: 11983697
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to application(s), or parts thereof, that are embedded into a buyer application. In an example, engagement with a buyer application on a computing device of a buyer can be detected. A particular, discrete functionality of a merchant application of the merchant can be triggered to be initialized in response to the engagement and the particular, discrete functionality associated with the merchant application can be accessed. In an example, an indication of a transaction between the merchant and the buyer can be received and the indication of the transaction can be associated with stored activity data of one or more transactions of the buyer, wherein the one or more transactions are associated with the buyer application.
