11. A method for a first server computer system processing requests received from a second server computer system, the method comprising:

receiving, by an interface of the first server computer system from the second server computer system, a first request of a user, the first request including data indicative of a user selected method for authorizing the first request, and the second server computer system having an account with the first server computer system for processing the requests;

detecting, by the first server computer system, that the received data comprises a user selection of a digital container associated with a third server computer system to be used, the digital container comprising the user selected method for authorizing the first request;

initiating, by the first server computer system, a user authorization redirection of a user computer system causing one or more user authentication operations to be performed between the user computer system and the third server computer system to authenticate the user for user of the digital container;

in response to authentication of the user by the third server computer system for use of user selected method for authorizing the first request for authorizing the first request, receiving, at the interface of the first server computer system, a second request originating from the third server computer system, the second request embedding authorization data stored by the third server computer system and associated with the user selected method for authorizing the first request; and

in response to receiving the second request originating from the third server computer system, authorizing, by the first server computer system, the second request with an authorization system using the authorization data associated with the user selected method for authorizing the first request to complete the first request.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein in response to receiving the second request originating from the third server computer system, the method further comprises:

adding second request information to a logical ledger as an authorization ledger entry; and

adding an inverse of the authorization ledger entry with data indicative of the user selected method for authorizing the first request as an authorization method type ledger entry.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first server computer system from the authorization system, an authorization response for the second request that is based on the authorization data;

generating, by the first server computer system, a notification by removing the authorization data from the authorization response and adding an indication that the digital container was used to authorize the first request; and

transmitting, by the first server computer system to the second server computer system, the notification that the first request has been completed.
