Abstract

The present disclosure provides an exemplary system, method, and computer program product. The exemplary system includes at least one non-transitory memory storing user account information, wherein the information comprises a digital receipt associated with a user purchase and one or more conditions for delivering the digital receipt. The system further includes one or more hardware processors coupled to the at least one memory and operable to read instructions from the at least one memory to perform the steps of: receiving a payment request from a user; receiving at least one condition from the user for delivering a digital receipt associated with the payment request to at least one recipient; determining whether the at least one condition is satisfied; and delivering the digital receipt to the at least one recipient.

Claims (41)

1. A system comprising:

at least one non-transitory memory storing user account information; and

one or more hardware processors coupled to the at least one non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the at least one non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:

processing an online payment request from a customer to complete a purchase of an item and instructions to deliver the item to at least one recipient that is different from the customer;

receiving, from the customer via a graphical user interface (GUI), an indication to exclude one or more categories of information from a digital receipt associated with the purchase;

receiving from the customer via the GUI, at least one condition to be satisfied before transmitting the digital receipt associated with the purchase to the at least one recipient;

determining that the at least one condition is satisfied based on receiving a delivery confirmation from a common carrier that the item has been delivered to the at least one recipient; and

in response to determining that the at least one condition is satisfied:

generating a particular digital receipt associated with the purchase, the particular digital receipt excluding the one or more categories of information; and

transmitting the particular digital receipt to an email account of the at least one recipient.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting is performed by a computer selected from a group consisting of a service provider computer and a merchant computer.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting, to the customer, a confirmation message indicating that the particular digital receipt was transmitted to the at least one recipient.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one condition corresponds to a predetermined time.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the predetermined time is different from a delivery time associated with delivery of the item to the at least one recipient.

6. A method comprising:

processing, via an input device, a payment request from a customer to complete a purchase of an item and instructions to deliver the item to at least one recipient that is different from the customer;

receiving, from the customer via a graphical user interface (GUI), a designation of one or more categories of information to be excluded from a digital receipt associated with the purchase;

receiving, from the customer via the GUI, at least one condition to be satisfied before transmitting the digital receipt associated with the purchase to the at least one recipient;

determining that the at least one condition is satisfied based on receiving, from a common carrier, a delivery confirmation that the item has been delivered to the at least one recipient; and

in response to determining that the at least one condition is satisfied:

generating a particular digital receipt associated with the purchase, the particular digital receipt excluding the one or more categories of information; and

transmitting the particular digital receipt to an email account of the at least one recipient.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising transmitting the particular digital receipt to an account of the at least one recipient via a text message.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising transmitting, to the customer, a confirmation message indicating that the particular digital receipt was transmitted to the at least one recipient.

9. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

processing a payment request from a customer to complete a purchase of an item and instructions to deliver the item to at least one recipient that is different from the customer;

receiving, from the customer via a graphical user interface (GUI), an indication to exclude one or more categories of information from a digital receipt associated with the purchase;

receiving from the customer, via the GUI, at least one condition to be satisfied before transmitting the digital receipt associated with the purchase to the at least one recipient;

determining that the at least one condition is satisfied based on receiving, from a common carrier, a delivery confirmation that the item has been delivered to the at least one recipient; and

in response to determining that the condition is satisfied:

generating a particular digital receipt associated with the purchase, the particular digital receipt excluding the one or more categories of information; and

transmitting a selectable link corresponding to an online merchant website to the at least one recipient, the selectable link provides access to the particular digital receipt.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the at least one condition corresponds to a predetermined time.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined time is different from a delivery time associated with delivery of the item to the at least one recipient.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the machine corresponds to a computer selected from a group consisting of a service provider computer and a merchant computer.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting the particular digital receipt to an account of the at least one recipient via a text message.

14. The method of claim 6 , wherein the input device is selected from a group consisting of a service provider computer and a merchant computer.

15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one condition corresponds to a predetermined time.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the predetermined time is different from a delivery time associated with delivery of the item to the at least one recipient.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting the particular digital receipt to an account of the at least one recipient via a text message.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting, to the customer, a confirmation message indicating that the particular digital receipt was transmitted to the at least one recipient.
