Abstract
In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a system for facilitating financial transactions over a network includes a first component adapted to communicate with a merchant via a merchant device over the network and a second component adapted to receive a merchant transaction request from the merchant via the merchant device over the network, determine a format of the merchant transaction request, translate the format into a recognizable format, and process the merchant transaction request based on information passed with the merchant transaction request. In one aspect, the merchant transaction request includes information related to a financial transaction between the merchant and a customer purchasing an item from the merchant. In another aspect, format translation provides the capability to easily switch transaction service providers without incurring important integration costs.
