Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to an embodiment of a keyboard application in which a plurality of selectable items (representing keys) are associated with transactions. The keyboard application may be imported into any application that utilizes text input, and replaces a default keyboard used to provide the text input. Upon selection of one of the plurality of selectable items, a transaction is initiated by a service provider computer. In some embodiments, the transaction may result in the engagement of a third party entity. Once completed, an access credential associated with the completion of the transaction is generated. The access credential may be entered into the text input field of the application that utilizes text input.
