Abstract

A multi-part code system includes a network computing device operable to generate a first and second portion of a code for an interaction. The multi-part code system further includes a second computing device including a second network application and a first computing device including a first network application operable to obtain the second portion of the code, receive the first portion of the code, display the second portion of the code, display the first portion of the code on a code display area, instruct a user to drag the first portion of the code from the code display area to the display area to align with the second portion of the code. When the first portion of the code is aligned with the second portion of the code in the display area, produce the code, and send a finalized interaction notification to the network computing device.
