Abstract
A user who is authorizing a delegate to make a purchase using funds from an account of the user sends information to a payment provider. The information includes a picture of the delegate, along with information such as a merchant name, a maximum amount, a type of purchase, item information, and/or any other transaction limitations/restrictions. The payment provider then transmits this information to the merchant. A one-time code or number may be communicated to the delegate. When the delegate is ready to make a payment with the user account, the delegate gives the delegate's name and/or other identifying information to the merchant, along with the payment code. The merchant enters the information and is shown a picture of the delegate. If there is a match, the payment may be submitted for processing. In one embodiment, a photo of the delegate may be taken by the merchant and the image transmitted to the user. The user may then be requested to confirm the delegate as an authorized delegate.
