Abstract
Disclosed are system and methods for purchasing items on a website or a mobile application using a single verification action. The disclosed technique allows a user to initiate a purchase transaction with a merchant via a mobile application on a mobile device and select a mobile payment application associated with a payment service system as a payment method. The mobile application then passes at least a transaction amount and a merchant identifier to the mobile payment application to handover processing of the purchase transaction to the mobile payment application. The mobile payment application, based on preference settings, if any, and otherwise default settings, determines whether to request a confirmation from the user to proceed with the purchase transaction. Once a decision to proceed with the purchase transaction is made, the mobile payment application sends a request to the payment service system to complete the purchase transaction by paying the merchant.
