  • Publication number: 20150112817
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing a consumer experience using shared data is provided. The system includes a shared data server in communication with one or more merchant sites and a remote server that may include a payment processing server. The shared data server receives, stores, and analyzes information provided from the merchant sites and the remote server to provide recommendations, offers, and the like to the consumer to enhance their experience. The shared data server may also provide upselling opportunities for the merchant site based on its analysis as well as opportunities to extend credit to consumers for the remote server based on its analysis of the received information. The shared data server may allow merchant sites and remote servers to make indirect use of the information that each has individually about products and customers without providing direct access to the information.
