  • Publication number: 20150339767
    Abstract: There is provided systems and method for unified payment account establishment and incorporation in a main payment account. A service provider, such as a payment provider, may offer merchants with a development kit that unifies payment methods between various merchants and the service provider so that users are provided with more easily established payment accounts with the merchants. The development kit may include an account establishment interface that may be utilized in a merchant ordering and payment application for a merchant. The interface may provide for establishment of a payment account with the merchant. When initially establishing the payment account, the user may generate a provisional account, which may be synchronized to a payment account the user has with the service provider. When synchronizing the two accounts, the user may transfer information to the merchant, which may be redacted to prevent the merchant from receiving sensitive information.
