  • Publication number: 20240112188
    Abstract: An example process includes causing a website of a merchant to load to an in-app browser within a payment application executing on a user device of a user. The example process further includes presenting, via a user interface of the user device, an interactive element on a checkout page of the website. A determination is made that the interactive element has been selected. The selection generates a payment request for a payment to the merchant from a user account associated with the payment application. The payment request is received via the in-app browser to initiate payment from the user account. The example process further includes determining that the payment request originated from within the payment application and is associated with a stored balance associated with the user account. The user account is accessed, and the payment is caused to be authorized without additional input from the user.
