Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide for faster and more efficient data processing, and can utilize multiple authorizations and tokens having domain restrictions. The different authorizations may be related, and a related transaction indicator as well as reference data may be included in authorization requests made after an initial authorization.

Claims (48)

1. A method comprising:

a) receiving, by a server computer from a resource provider computer over a network, a first authorization request message comprising a token and a cryptogram for a first transaction conducted in a first presentment mode;

b) determining, by the server computer, that the token is being used in the first presentment mode in association with the first transaction, using one or more of: the cryptogram and/or a first transaction channel indicator in the first authorization request message;

c) determining, by the server computer, an account identifier associated with the token;

d) modifying, by the server computer, the first authorization request message by adding the account identifier;

e) forwarding, by the server computer, the first authorization request message to an authorizing computer;

f) receiving, by the server computer, a first authorization response message from the authorizing computer declining the first transaction;

g) transmitting, by the server computer, the first authorization response message to the resource provider computer,

h) receiving, by the server computer from the resource provider computer over the network, a second authorization request message for a second transaction conducted in a second presentment mode, wherein the second presentment mode is different from the first presentment mode, the second authorization request message comprises the token, a related transaction indicator for the first transaction, and reference data for the first transaction, and the second authorization request message includes no cryptogram;

i) determining, by the server computer, that the token is not being used in the first presentment mode in association with the second transaction;

j) determining, by the server computer, that the second authorization request message includes the related transaction indicator and the reference data;

k) in response to steps i) and j), determining, by the server computer, the account identifier associated with the token; and

l) initiating authorizing the second transaction using the account identifier, where initiating authorizing comprises one of: performing authorization processing on the second transaction or forwarding the second authorization request message to the authorizing computer.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein 1) initiating authorizing the second transaction using the account identifier comprises:

modifying, by the server computer, the second authorization request message to include the account identifier instead of the token;

transmitting, by the server computer, the second authorization request message to the authorizing computer;

receiving, by the server computer, a second authorization response message from the authorizing computer; and

transmitting, by the server computer, the second authorization response message to the resource provider computer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference data comprises a transaction identifier associated with the first transaction.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the account identifier comprises:

transmitting the token to a token issuer; and

receiving the account identifier from the token issuer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server computer is a processing network computer.

6. A server computer comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a method comprising:

a) receiving, from a resource provider computer over a network, a first authorization request message comprising a token and a cryptogram for a first transaction conducted in a first presentment mode;

b) determining that the token is being used in the first presentment mode in association with the first transaction, using one or more of the cryptogram and/or a first transaction channel indicator in the first authorization request message;

c) determining an account identifier associated with the token;

d) modifying the first authorization request message by adding the account identifier;

e) forwarding the first authorization request message to an authorizing computer;

f) receiving a first authorization response message from the authorizing computer declining the first transaction;

g) transmitting the first authorization response message to the resource provider computer,

h) receiving from the resource provider computer over the network, a second authorization request message for a second transaction conducted in a second presentment mode, wherein the second presentment mode is different from the first presentment mode, the second authorization request message comprises the token, a related transaction indicator for the first transaction, and reference data for the first transaction, and the second authorization request message includes no cryptogram;

i) determining the token is not being used in the first presentment mode in association with the second transaction;

j) determining that the second authorization request message includes the related transaction indicator and the reference data;

k) in response to steps i) and j), determining the account identifier associated with the token; and

l) initiating authorizing the second transaction using the account identifier, where initiating authorizing comprises one of: performing authorization processing on the second transaction or forwarding the second authorization request message to the authorizing computer.

7. The server computer of claim 6 , wherein 1) initiating authorizing the second transaction using the account identifier comprises:

modifying the second authorization request message to include the account identifier instead of the token;

transmitting the second authorization request message to the authorizing computer;

receiving a second authorization response message from the authorizing computer; and

transmitting the second authorization response message to the resource provider computer.

8. The server computer of claim 6 , wherein the reference data comprises a transaction identifier associated with the first transaction.

9. The server computer of claim 6 , wherein determining the account identifier comprises:

transmitting the token to a token issuer; and

receiving the account identifier from the token issuer.

10. The server computer of claim 6 , wherein the server computer is a processing network computer.
