Intermediary server to facilitate restrictive websites

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for generating, receiving and processing product-specific network addresses that may be used to generate product-specific checkout pages. In some embodiments, an intermediary server is provided that generates product-specific network addresses for merchants to be used on media websites. The product-specific network address is stored by the intermediary server in association with particular product information. The intermediary server acts as an interface between a user that visits the product-specific network address and a host checkout server. Specifically, the intermediary server receives the product-specific network address, retrieves the associated product information, and forwards the product information to the host checkout server. The host checkout server may then generate a checkout page for the user using the product information.
