Integration of payment processing platform with payment making platform for differentiated payment allocations using cryptocurrency

Abstract:

Techniques for integrating a payment processing platform (PPP) and a payment making platform (PMP) for differentiated payment allocations using cryptocurrency is described. In response to an indication to allocate a first portion of funds generated from payment received for transaction(s) processed by the PPP to a cryptocurrency wallet account for a user, the PMP can receive a request for first account information associated with the cryptocurrency wallet account. The PMP can send the first account information to the PPP, wherein the first account information is associated with second account information of a merchant account of the user. The PMP can receive, from the PPP, a request to deposit a first portion of the funds into the cryptocurrency wallet account, wherein a second portion of funds is retained by the PPP for deposit into the merchant account as fiat currency.
