The system includes a payment processor module that is in communication with a first e-commerce platform associated with a first merchant and a second e-commerce platform associated with a second merchant. The payment processor module is configured to receive data comprising: first product information relating to a first product to be purchased by a customer through the first e-commerce platform; and second product information relating to a second product to be purchased by the customer through the second e-commerce platform. The data is received in real-time without delay after the customer provides an indication of intent to purchase the first and the second products. The payment processor module is further configured to initiate a single transaction based on the data that is received, wherein the single transaction corresponds to the purchase of the first and the second products by the customer.
