Abstract

Methods and systems are presented for attracting and engaging a user for a merchant system. A selectable option associated with the merchant system is displayed on a client device associated with a user. An indication of a user selection of the selectable option is received, and a content page is provided to the client device in response to the indication. Customer relationship management (CRM) information associated with the user of the client device is received from a carrier system associated with the client device. A transaction is processed for the user on behalf of the merchant system, based on the CRM information, and data associated with the user and the transaction are output to the merchant system.

Claims (53)

1. An aggregator system comprising:

a carrier input coupled to a carrier system;

a client device input coupled to a client device associated with a user;

a client device output coupled to the client device;

a merchant output coupled to a merchant system; and

processing equipment configured to:

transmit, using the client device output, a selectable option associated with the merchant system for display on the client device;

receive, using the client device input, an indication of a user selection of the selectable option;

provide, using the client device output, a content page to the client device in response to the receipt of the indication of the user selection;

retrieve, using the carrier input, from the carrier system CRM information associated with the user in response to the receipt of the indication of the user selection;

process a transaction for the user on behalf of the merchant system based at least in part on the CRM information, and

transmit, using the merchant output, data associated with the transaction to the merchant system.

2. The aggregator system of claim 1 , wherein the selectable option comprises a displayed selectable advertisement associated with the merchant system and displayed on behalf of the merchant system.

3. The aggregator system of claim 2 , wherein the processing equipment is configured to target the selectable advertisement for transmission to the client device based on the CRM information associated with the user.

4. The aggregator system of claim 3 , wherein the processing equipment is configured to target the selectable advertisement for transmission to the client device based on the CRM information matching criteria provided by the merchant system.

5. The aggregator system of claim 1 , wherein the content page comprises one or more fillable data fields and wherein the processing equipment is further configured to pre-populate at least one of the one or more data fields based at least in part on the CRM information.

6. The aggregator system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction is one of a payment transaction, a registration transaction, and a combination thereof.

7. The aggregator system of claim 1 , further comprising identification circuitry configured to identify the client device.

8. A method comprising, using an aggregator system for:

transmitting, using a client device output of the aggregator system, a selectable option associated with a merchant system for display on a client device;

receiving, using a client device input of the aggregator system, an indication of a user selection of the selectable option;

providing, using the client device output of the aggregator system, a content page to the client device in response to the receipt of the indication of the user selection;

retrieving, using a carrier input of the aggregator system, from a carrier system CRM information associated with the user in response to the receipt of the indication of the user selection;

processing, using processing equipment of the aggregator system, a transaction for the user on behalf of the merchant system based at least in part on the CRM information, and

transmitting, using a merchant output of the aggregator system, data associated with the transaction to the merchant system.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the selectable option comprises a displayed selectable advertisement associated with the merchant system and displayed on behalf of the merchant system.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

targeting, using the processing equipment of the aggregator system, the selectable advertisement for transmission to the client device based on the CRM information associated with the user.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

targeting, using the processing equipment of the aggregator system, the selectable advertisement for transmission to the client device based on the CRM information matching criteria provided by the merchant system.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the content page comprises one or more fillable data fields, and the method further comprising:

pre-populating, using the processing equipment of the aggregator system, at least one of the one or more data fields based at least in part on the CRM information.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the transaction is one of a payment transaction, a registration transaction, and a combination thereof.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

identifying, using identification circuitry of the aggregator system, the client device.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable medium comprising:

computer program instructions recorded thereon, wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by an aggregator system, cause the aggregator system, to perform operations comprising:

transmitting, using a client device output of the aggregator system, a selectable option associated with a merchant system for display on a client device;

receiving, using a client device input of the aggregator system, an indication of a user selection of the selectable option;

providing, using the client device output of the aggregator system, a content page to the client device in response to the receipt of the indication of the user selection;

retrieving, using a carrier input of the aggregator system, from a carrier system CRM information associated with the user in response to the receipt of the indication of the user selection;

processing, using processing equipment of the aggregator system, a transaction for the user on behalf of the merchant system based at least in part on the CRM information, and

transmitting, using a merchant output of the aggregator system, data associated with the transaction to the merchant system.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the selectable option comprises a displayed selectable advertisement associated with the merchant system and displayed on behalf of the merchant system.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the aggregator system cause the aggregator system to:

target, using the processing equipment of the aggregator system, the selectable advertisement for transmission to the client device based on the CRM information associated with the user.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the aggregator system cause the aggregator system to:

target, using the processing equipment of the aggregator system, the selectable advertisement for transmission to the client device based on the CRM information matching criteria provided by the merchant system.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the content page comprises one or more Tillable data fields, and wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the aggregator system cause the aggregator system to

pre-populate, using the processing equipment of the aggregator system, at least one of the one or more data fields based at least in part on the CRM information.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the transaction is one of a payment transaction, a registration transaction, and a combination thereof.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the aggregator system cause the aggregator system to:

identify, using identification circuitry of the aggregator system, the client device.
