Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for linking product offerings with social network content. One exemplary method includes verifying, by a computing device, via an application programming interface (API) associated with the social network, a social network action, by a consumer, for a product in a social network, and awarding a discount to the consumer for the product, when the social network action is verified, whereby the consumer is able to purchase the product for the price of the product less the awarded discount. Often, the social network action is a “like” of the product, whereby a social network content associated with the product is then disseminated to at least one follower of the consumer in the social network in response to the action.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in permitting merchant to manage fraud prevention rules are disclosed. One exemplary method includes causing at least one settings interface to be displayed to a merchant via a sales platform. The method also includes receiving, by a computing device, via the at least one settings interface, a merchant-specific selection of a prescribed action relating to transactions, at the merchant and receiving, by the computing device, a merchant-specific selection of a fraud prevention rule associated with the prescribed action. The fraud prevention rule defines merchant-specific criteria relating to the transactions. In addition, the method includes appending, by the computing device, the fraud prevention rule to a data structure, in association with the merchant, whereby the prescribed action is effected when a transaction to the merchant violates the criteria defined by the fraud prevention rule.
