Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a payment authorization system include a payment authorization device that receives, through communication over a network with at least one of a user device and a payment provider device, a request to authenticate a merchant virtual storefront. The request may be received in association with a merchant virtual storefront transaction request. The payment authorization device also retrieves identifying information associated with the merchant virtual storefront. Additionally, the payment authorization device may retrieve, from a database located in a non-transitory memory, baseline identifying information for comparison to the retrieved identifying information. The payment authorization device determines an authenticity of the merchant virtual storefront based on the retrieved identifying information and subsequently authorizes the merchant virtual storefront transaction request. In some cases, prior to authorizing the merchant virtual storefront transaction request, the payment authorization device requests approval from a third-party approver.
