A method for conveying auditable information regarding provenance of a product that is cryptographically accurate while retaining complete anonymity of product and participant on a blockchain includes: receiving a product identifier; generating a digital token by applying a hashing algorithm to the product identifier; generating an entry value by applying the hashing algorithm to a combination of an event identifier and the digital token; generating a digital signature by digitally signing a data package using a private key of a cryptographic key pair, where the data package includes at least a blockchain address, the event identifier, and the digital token; and transmitting the blockchain address, the digital signature, and the entry value to a node in a blockchain network.

A method and system for managing payment transactions for a merchant using a computing device coupled to a memory device is described. Each transaction is initiated by a consumer using a payment card. The method includes receiving a registration request from a candidate merchant for enrollment within a manager module wherein the registration request includes registration data associated with the candidate merchant, executing a primary approval process using at least some of the registration data, and transmitting an account request message requesting an opening of a merchant account for the candidate merchant with an acquiring bank upon approval. The method further includes receiving, in real-time, merchant account data associated with the candidate merchant from the acquiring bank upon approval by a secondary approval process wherein the candidate merchant becomes a registered merchant upon the secondary approval. The method further includes managing a first payment transaction submitted by the registered merchant.
