Abstract
A computer implemented method for enabling a payment transaction in a computer system executed at least partially by a computer of a user connected via a communication network to a remote computer comprising a database of payment-related data, said method comprising the steps of: a) accessing the payment-related data of a user from within the database, wherein a web browser extension on the user's computer is invoked by the user clicking on a web browser extension graphical user interface (GUI) widget displayed on the user's computer, wherein secure network access is established to access the user's payment-related data from within the database; b) presenting the user's payment-related data via a pop-up window displayed on the user's computer, without requiring application programming interface integration with a website or a web application of a payee, and without requiring a form re-direct away from the website or the web application of the payee; c) enabling the payment transaction, wherein the web browser extension invokes an auto-complete function to automatically populate fields of a checkout form presented from the website or the web application of the payee with the user's payment-related data.
