  • Patent number: 11797811
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, apparatus, and/or computer program products that can facilitate adaptable QR codes to launch customized experiences are provided. In various embodiments, a system can receive, from a client device, a quick response (QR) code, a client identifier, and location data associated with the client device. In various aspects, the system can identify, from a plurality of merchants, a first merchant that corresponds to the QR code, based on identifying that the first merchant corresponds to the location data. In various instances, the system can identify, from a plurality of client profiles, a first client profile that corresponds to the client identifier. In various cases, the system can identify a digital content based on the first merchant and the first client profile. In various aspects, the system can cause the digital content to be provided to the client device.

  • Patent number: 11727394
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing comprehensive payment transaction services through a digital wallet. The digital wallet enables a user to conduct an electronic transaction with a merchant or another user. In one aspect, the digital wallet may modify a payment arrangement of the electronic transaction. For example, the digital wallet may determine a first payment arrangement that specifies one or more financial instruments and a payment deferral time period for the electronic transaction. Subsequent to processing the electronic transaction, the digital wallet may determine a different, second payment arrangement for the electronic transaction. The digital wallet may modify the electronic transaction based on the second payment arrangement without canceling the electronic transaction. In another aspect, the digital wallet may manage rewards by dynamically withholding rewards, releasing the rewards, and/or distributing at least portions of the rewards to different users.

  • Publication number: 20230019259
    Abstract: The method comprises receiving an onboarding request for a first onboarding process of a first representation of a first user at a token issuance and transaction system, the request received from a transaction system, the request indicating a second onboarding process of a second representation of the first user at the transaction system. The method includes generating, based on performing the first onboarding process and receiving an indication of success of the second onboarding process, a link between the first and second representations at the token issuance and transaction system and the transaction system. The method includes receiving a pre-transaction request from the transaction system, the pre-transaction request indicating a transaction type and the link between the first and second representations. The method also includes determining, based on the link, whether to generate a payment token for completing a requested transaction corresponding to the pre-transaction request.
