responsive to detecting a potential purchase of one or more items or services from the third-party website, determine retailer data from the third-party website, the retailer data comprising a transaction amount associated with the one or more items or services to be purchased from the third-party website;

determine, based at least in part on the retailer data and account data associated with the non-integrated payment account, that a purchase by the user is eligible for an applicable non-integrated payment option of the one or more non-integrated payment options;

output instructions for displaying, on a display of the customer device a selectable option associated with paying the transaction amount via the applicable non-integrated payment option; and

responsive to receiving, from the customer device, an indication of selection of the selectable option, transmit, to the issuer system, customer-inputted transaction data comprising information indicative of a purchasing financial account and the applicable non-integrated payment option, such that the issuer system is enabled to process a payment for purchase of the one or more items or services to be purchased from the third-party website by:

providing a temporary adjustment to the purchasing financial account to offset an amount of funds equal to the transaction amount;

transferring, from the purchasing financial account and to the merchant system, the amount of funds equal to the transaction amount; and

subsequent to transferring the amount of funds to the merchant system:

shifting payment of the amount of funds from an account associated with the applicable non-integrated payment option to the purchasing financial account; and

removing the temporary adjustment from the purchasing financial account.

receipt of a request to determine whether the purchase by the user is eligible for one of the one or more non-integrated payment options, the request received from the customer device and indicative of a manual request by the user.

3. The non-transitory, computer readable medium of claim 1 further comprising:

responsive to receiving, from the customer device, the indication of selection of the selectable option, output instructions for displaying, on the display of the customer device, a message indicative of a sufficient balance of funds for payment with the applicable non-integrated payment option and a potential impact on a status associated with the applicable non-integrated payment option.

4. The non-transitory, computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein determining that the purchase by the user is eligible for the applicable non-integrated payment option comprises determining, based on the retailer data and the account data, the applicable non-integrated payment option has a sufficient amount of available credit to purchase the one or more items or services to be purchased from the third-party website.
