Abstract
A user may purchase a subscription service online, which may be purchased as a gift for a gift recipient. At the end of the gifted subscription, the gift recipient may wish to continue the subscription without interruption. However, the subscription order may be stored in memory in association with the purchaser, and there may be no way to automatically link, in memory, the data in a gift subscription order and the data in a new subscription ordered by the gift recipient. In some embodiments, data associated with a subscription order includes a subscription transfer object, which stores subscription information specific to the subscription recipient and omits personal information associated with the purchaser. In some embodiments, a subscription identifier is issued to the recipient, which, when provided to the platform, allows the subscription transfer object to be transferred over to a new subscription for the recipient.
