Abstract
A purchase platform redirection (PPR) computing device is provided, the PPR computing device configured to receive a checkout request associated with a transaction initiated at an initial purchase platform by an account-holder. The checkout request includes an identifier of the initial purchase platform and an account-holder account identifier of the account-holder's payment account. The PPR computing device is also configured to determine that the initial purchase platform is not a recommended purchase platform, and determine, using at least the account-holder account identifier, whether the recommended purchase platform is available to the account-holder. The PPR computing device is further configured to generate a redirection message including contact information associated with the account-holder for the recommended purchase platform, if the recommended purchase platform is available, and facilitate transmission of the redirection message, further including a link for the account-holder to complete the transaction at the recommended purchase platform, to the account-holder.
