TEMPORARILY PROVISIONING CARD ON FILE PAYMENT FUNCTIONALITY TO PROXIMATE MERCHANTS

Abstract:

Temporarily provisioning card on file payment functionality to proximate merchants is described herein. A point-of-sale (POS) application executable by a POS device associated with a merchant can store an identifier associated with payment data corresponding to a payment instrument of a customer for use in future transactions with the customer. A payment processing service can determine other merchant(s) that subscribe to services of the payment processing service are participating in an event with the merchant and can receive a request to provision the payment data to the other merchant(s) to enable the other merchant(s) to use the identifier to complete transaction(s) with the customer without requiring the customer to present the payment instrument in association with the transaction(s). The payment processing service can provision the identifier to other POS device(s) of the other merchant(s) for temporarily storing the identifier on individual POS devices of the other POS device(s).
