  • Patent number: 10796295
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for processing payment transactions between a user and a merchant using a messaging bot. In particular, a commerce system allows the user to initiate a communications session with a messaging bot associated with the merchant using natural language.

  • Publication number: 20180174137
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for device and system agnostic payment tokenization for processing payment transactions. In particular, the message system allows a user to initiate a payment transaction with a merchant. For example, one or more implementations involve identifying, in response to a request by a user client-device, a payment authorization number associated with a user account and sending a request for a payment token to a payment network associated with the payment authorization number. One or more embodiments receive a payment token representing the payment authorization number. Additionally, one or more embodiments encrypt the payment token and send the encrypted payment token to the user client-device to provide to a merchant system associated with the merchant.
