Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for facilitating network transactions through use of browser extensions. One exemplary method includes accessing a virtual location associated with an entity through a web browser and receiving, from a user, a selection of a browser extension associated with the web browser, when at least one product is designated by the user at the virtual location. The method also includes calling a first application programming interface (API) associated with a virtual account platform, based on the selection of the browser extension, requesting virtual account information for the user from the virtual account platform, and displaying the virtual account information to the user. The method further includes calling a second API associated with the entity, requesting a transaction amount for the at least one product, and submitting a request for a network transaction based on the received virtual account information and the received transaction amount.
