  • Patent number: 12254449
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems to generate and communicate interactive digital receipts. A payment-processing system (PPS) receives first data associated with a payment transaction between a payee and a payor. The PPS is associated with a database that includes a payee profile and a payor profile. The payee profile includes payee employment history, transaction history, and location tags associated with the transactions. The payment transaction is processed. Based on the payee and payor profiles, an interactive digital proof of transaction, including an indication of an availability of a resource or a vacancy, is generated and displayed on a device associated with the payee or the payor. A location of the vacancy indicated is based on the location tags. The PPS receives second data indicating a user interaction with an interactable element of the interactive digital proof of transaction corresponding to the indication of the availability.
