  • Publication number: 20240078526
    Abstract: A conversational computing platform can manage credits and other fund transfers from merchants to consumers based on preexisting relationships with the consumers. More specifically, in transactions creating an amount due from a merchant to a consumer, a message may be initiated to the consumer indicating that an amount has been approved for processing, identifying a payment method for the consumer on file with the platform, and asking the consumer to send a response with an approval/authentication code in order to disambiguate the response and initiate the payment to an account of the consumer.
