  • Patent number: 11983701
    Abstract: Temporarily provisioning card on file payment functionality to proximate merchants is described herein. A point-of-sale (POS) application executable by a POS device associated with a merchant can store an identifier associated with payment data corresponding to a payment instrument of a customer for use in future transactions with the customer. A payment processing service can determine other merchant(s) that subscribe to services of the payment processing service are participating in an event with the merchant and can receive a request to provision the payment data to the other merchant(s) to enable the other merchant(s) to use the identifier to complete transaction(s) with the customer without requiring the customer to present the payment instrument in association with the transaction(s). The payment processing service can provision the identifier to other POS device(s) of the other merchant(s) for temporarily storing the identifier on individual POS devices of the other POS device(s).

  • Patent number: 10878402
    Abstract: Temporarily provisioning payment functionality to alternate payment instrument(s) is described herein. In an example, one or more servers can determine an occurrence of an event associated with one or more merchants. Based at least in part on determining the occurrence of the event, the one or more servers can associate payment data of a payment instrument with an identifier of a wearable payment object to temporarily enable a customer associated with the wearable payment object to use the wearable payment object instead of the payment instrument for transacting with the one or more merchants associated with the event. In at least one example, the wearable payment object can be a RFID-enabled wristband to enable customers at the event (e.g., a festival, a market, etc.) to use the RFID-enabled wristband for transacting with the one or more merchants.
