A method includes determining that a chat text provided in a chat session between first and second chat application instances is directed to a transaction negotiation, the chat session for facilitating communication between the chat application instances. The method includes determining, in an image associated with the transaction, first and second image elements that are associated with the transaction. Responsive to the determination that the chat text is directed to the negotiation of the transaction, the method can generate an invoice for a first transaction portion that is associated with the first element. The method can provide the invoice, via the chat session, to the first and/or chat application instance.

Automatic invoice creation for chat and social platforms

Methods and systems for facilitating the purchase of an item on a social networking website are described. Merchants can embed payments in buttons displayed on social networking websites to enable payments at the point of discovery, such as on Pinterest® or Facebook®. As the items associated with the buttons are shared further, the embedded payment capability follows the shared items. For example, a Pinterest® pin has the payment capability embedded within it so as the pin gets re-pinned in the Pinterest® platform, shared on blogs, shared on platforms like Facebook®, or surfaces on Google® Search, the payment capability is also available on those platforms. In some instances, open standards such as oEmbed or Open Graph are used to create the buttons with the payment capability and make creation of the buttons simpler for merchants.

Social media buttons with payment capability

In various embodiments, a system and method for providing simplified checkout are provided. In example embodiments, an identifier that corresponds to a payment account of a user is received at a payment provider system. Account information from the payment account of the user is retrieved from a payment data storage of the payment provider system.

There are provided systems and methods for user interfaces for account statement assignment. A user may engage in transactions over a time period, such as purchases of goods, services, or other items using a physical payment card associated with an online transaction processor. A statement may be issued at the completion of the time period, where the statement may include account information requiring a payment by the user, such as a statement balance. The user may request for another user to provide a payment for all or a portion of the balance using one or more user interfaces of a peer-to-peer payment and social networking platform. Thereafter, a request may be provided to the other user, which may request the payment. The other user may process the payment, which may be used to provide funds directly to the statement balance.

User interfaces for account statement assignment

Systems and methods are disclosed which may provide modules that may be displayed in the context of a website that allow for autoscrolling between the modules upon entering required information in the modules or completing actions required by the modules. The modules may be modules for paying for items via PayPal and may include modules for entering payment information, billing information, a shipping address, creating an account, and accepting terms and conditions. The modules may be displayed within the context of the webpage when selecting a pay with PayPal link without navigating away from the webpage. As a user enters information into a module, the module will automatically scroll to the next module if the module permits automatic scrolling.
