Patent number: 10949829Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for processing a payment request. A mobile device associated with a payor may generate a user interface having two screen portions. The first screen portion may be configured to display received and sent messages and further configured to receive a command to transmit a message. The second screen portion may be configured to access a third-party application and configured to populate a new message with a payload. The mobile device may receive an inputted amount in the second screen portion representing the payment amount. The mobile device may transmit a request including the payor's identification and the payment amount to a third-party Payment Processing System (PPS) and receive a payload from the PPS. The mobile device may populate and transmit a message to the recipient that contains the payload.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Alan Paulin, Peter Westen, Shawn Welch, Daniel Federman, Michael Gershunovsky, Ayokunle Omojola

Publication number: 20210019755Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for purchasing items from a merchant system using friction-less payment processing technology. A customer initiates a purchase transaction from a user interface of the merchant system by selecting a payment button in lieu of payment information or login credentials or signing-into accounts. An auto-payment component parses a navigable link connected to the payment button to locate a mobile payment portal either installed on the mobile device as a mobile payment application or authenticated as a web application in a web-browser. The auto-pay component generates a payment request and sends the request to a payment service system via the mobile payment portal. The payment service system uses information in the payment request to identify financial accounts associated with the customer and the merchant. The payment service system then initiates a transfer of a payment amount from the customer to the merchant.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Ayokunle Omojola, Sean Slinsky, Marcelo Cortes, Daniele Perito, Daniel Federman

Patent number: 10467615Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for purchasing items from a merchant system using friction-less payment processing technology. A user initiates a purchase transaction from a user interface of the merchant system by submitting an indication or intent to use payment proxy in lieu of payment information or login credentials or signing-into accounts. An auto-payment component then generates a payment request including the payment proxy and sends the request to a payment service system. The payment service system uses the payment proxy to identify a financial account associated with the customer and the merchant. The payment service system initiates a transfer of a payment amount associated with the purchase transaction from a financial account associated payment proxy to a financial account associated with the merchant system to pay for the purchase transaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Ayokunle Omojola, Daniel Federman, Sean Slinsky, Marcelo Cortes, Daniele Perito

Patent number: 9886689Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for processing a payment request from a payor's mobile device. Payment Processing System (PPS) server may receive a payment request from a payor's mobile device, including an amount to pay but not any identification of a recipient. The PPS server may increment a balance of an escrow account and decrement a balance of the payor's account according to the amount of the request. The PPS server may generate a token, associated with the escrow account, including an alphanumeric string based on a random value generator. The PPS server may also generate a payload based on the token and transmit the payload to the payor's mobile device. Upon the recipient receiving and activating the payload, the PPS server may decrement the escrow account and increment the recipient's account.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Alan Paulin, Peter Westen, Shawn Welch, Daniel Federman, Michael Gershunovsky, Ayokunle Omojola
