Abstract
Techniques and arrangements for concurrent processing of payments to multiple merchants in a shared program are described. A method, performed by a service computing device, can include receiving customer information associated with two transactions of a customer with two respective merchants that are in a shared program. Accrued benefits of the customer for conducting the two transactions in accordance with the program can be determined. The accrued benefits can be communicated to the customer via a customer device. The payments for both transactions can be processed, concurrently, in accordance with the accrued benefits. In examples, the merchants may be associated in the shared program based on locations of the merchants, a type of merchant, and/or goods or services offered for sale by the merchants.
