Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating offline transactions includes: receiving, by a first user device, an offline payment request from a merchant payment system via a first local communications connection; providing, by the first user device, a payment approval message to the merchant payment system via the first local communications connection; providing, by the first user device, the offline transaction information to the payment server corresponding to the payment approval message to the payment server when the first user device and the payment server are connected via a network; determining, by the first user device, that an instruction to transfer the offline mode of the first user device to a second user device has been received; and disabling, by the first user device, the offline mode of the first user device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamically controlling push notifications post-delivery is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a server computer, a push notification and rules associated with the push notification. The rules specify a notification strategy to be implemented by a client device in presenting the push notification. The method also includes encoding, by the server computer, the rules in metadata. The method also includes transmitting, by the server computer, the push notification and the metadata to the client device, wherein the client device is configured to present the push notification according to the rules encoded in the metadata.

Abstract: A computer program product for facilitating offline transactions includes: a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by a user device to cause the user device to: receive an offline payment request from a merchant payment system via local communications; provide a payment approval message to the merchant payment system via the local communications to cause the merchant payment system to store the payment approval message; and provide offline transaction information to the payment server corresponding to the payment approval message; and provide the offline transaction information to the payment server corresponding to the payment approval message to the payment server when the user device and the payment server are connected via a network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: providing, by a merchant computing device, an offline payment request to a user device when the merchant computing device is disconnected from a payment server, wherein the offline payment request is provided via local communications between the user device and the merchant computing device; receiving, by the merchant computing device, a payment approval message associated with the offline payment request based on providing the offline payment request, wherein the payment approval message is received via the local communications between the user device and the merchant computing device; storing, by the merchant computing device, the payment approval message; and providing, by the merchant computing device, offline transaction information corresponding to the payment approval message to the payment server when connectivity to the payment server has been restored.
