Social network payment system
A method for providing social network payments includes receiving a request to make a payment. The request is associated with a social network payer and a social network payee. It is determined that the social network payer is associated with a first payment provider identifier and an authorization token, and a second payment provider identifier for the social network payee is then retrieved using the authorization token. An instruction to make a payment from the social network payer to the social network payee is then transmitted to a payment service provider. The instruction includes a payment amount, the first payment provider identifier, and the second payment provider identifier. A payment alert is also adapted for a payee social network associated with the social network payee, and the payment alert is send to a social network provider device associated with the payee social network.
1. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory memory; and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions form the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
detecting, from a first social network corresponding to a first user, an input made via a user interface provided by the first social network in an application linked to the first social network and a first account associated with the first user, wherein the input corresponds to a payment from the first user of the first social network to a second user of a second social network, and wherein the first social network is different from the second social network;
in response to detecting the input corresponding to the payment, referencing a database for a first payment identifier and a first authorization token corresponding to the first user, wherein the first authorization token is associated with an application permission granted to the application by the first user that allows the application to access and post data on the first social network and the second social network;
in response to determining that the first user corresponds to the first authorization token:
determining that the application is permitted to access profile data for the second user from the second social network based on the application permission associated with the first authorization token,
determining, based on the application permission, the profile data for the second user from social network data accessible on the second social network, and
obtaining, based on the profile data, a second payment identifier associated with the second user from the second social network;
causing, through the first social network, a payment to be made from the first account to a second account associated with the second user based at least on the second payment identifier and the profile data, wherein the first account corresponds to the first social network and the second account corresponds to the second social network;
generating a payment alert for the payment on the first social network;
determining a message adapter at a gateway device for the second social network, wherein the message adapter is configured to adapt the payment alert to a social messaging protocol utilized by the second social network for messaging between users;
authenticating the system with the gateway device using the first authorization token, wherein the authenticating authorizes the message adapter to adapt the payment alert to the second social network on behalf of the system;
adapting the payment alert for the second social network using a messaging format for the social messaging protocol; and
posting the adapted payment alert in a social message to the second user via the second account based on the adapted payment alert and the social messaging protocol.

receiving, via a permissions user interface, information corresponding to the application permission provided by the first user; and
in response to receiving the information corresponding to the first permission, creating the first authorization token based on the application permission.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the input corresponding to the payment from the first user to the second user includes detecting a selection of a selectable element provided in the user interface, wherein the selectable element corresponds to the second user.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the payment is processed by a payment provider, and wherein the application comprises one of a browser application or a payment application corresponding to the payment provider.
8. A method, comprising:
detecting, from a first social network corresponding to a first user, an input made via a user interface provided by the first social network in an application linked to the first social network and a first account associated with the first user, wherein the input corresponds to a payment from the first user of the first social network to a second user of a second social network, and wherein the first social network is different from the second social network;
in response to detecting the input corresponding to the payment, referencing a database for a first payment identifier and a first authorization token corresponding to the first user, wherein the first authorization token is associated with an application permission granted to the application by the first user that allows the application to access and post data on the first social network and the second social network;
determining that the application is permitted to access profile data for the second user from the second social network based on the application permission associated with the first authorization token,
determining, based on the application permission, the profile data for the second user from social network data accessible on the second social network, and
obtaining, based on the profile data, a second payment identifier associated with the second user from the second social network;
causing, through the first social network, a payment to be made from the first account to a second account associated with the second user based at least on the second payment identifier and the profile data, wherein the first account corresponds to the first social network and the second account corresponds to the second social network;
generating a payment alert for the payment on the first social network;
authenticating with a gateway device using the first authorization token, wherein the authenticating authorizes a message adapter to adapt the payment alert to the second social network using a social messaging protocol utilized by the second social network;
generating an adapted payment alert for the second social network using a messaging format for the social messaging protocol; and
posting the adapted payment alert in a social message to the second user via the second account based on the adapted payment alert and the social messaging protocol.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first authorization token is further associated with a payment permission from the first user to provide the payment to the second account of the second user.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the application permission from the first user permits the application to access user data associated with one or more user profiles of the first user on the first social network or the second social network or social post data shared by the second user with the first user on the first social network or the second social network.
