Disclosed are a system and a method for purchasing items from a merchant system using friction-less payment processing technology. A customer initiates a purchase transaction from a user interface of the merchant system by selecting a payment button in lieu of payment information or login credentials or signing-into accounts. An auto-payment component parses a navigable link connected to the payment button to locate a mobile payment portal either installed on the mobile device as a mobile payment application or authenticated as a web application in a web-browser. The auto-pay component generates a payment request and sends the request to a payment service system via the mobile payment portal. The payment service system uses information in the payment request to identify financial accounts associated with the customer and the merchant. The payment service system then initiates a transfer of a payment amount from the customer to the merchant.
