Abstract
A method for assessing a finder's fee for directing merchant traffic includes: transmitting, by a transmitting device, offer data related to an offer for the purchase of goods or services to a mobile communication device, wherein the related offer is associated with a merchant; receiving, by a receiving device, an indication that a user of the mobile communication device viewed the transmitted offer data; receiving, by the receiving device, an indication that the mobile communication device was located at a geographic location associated with the merchant within a predetermined period of time of the viewing of the transmitted offer data by the user of the mobile communication device; generating, by a processing device, an authorization request for a payment transaction for a finder's fee to be paid by the merchant; and transmitting, by the transmitting device, the authorization request.
