Abstract
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that improve an ecommerce payment process. The system receives a selection from a user to perform a checkout operation for items in a shopping cart. The system receives a payment type selection from a user and creates an encrypted packet of order information. The user is redirected to a URL of a third party payment processing system that supports the selected payment type for the user's country. The encrypted information is posted securely to the payment system and includes details standard across payment types. A user interface theme identifier is included to allow the third party system to provide a consistent user interface. The third party system accepts the standard details in the encrypted packet and implements the payment type specific details. The ecommerce system receives notification that the payment process succeeded and provisioning resumes by providing the purchased items to the user.
