Abstract

A method of facilitating an eCommerce transaction between a consumer and an eCommerce merchant via a third party entity is provided. The eCommerce merchant receives a selection of goods for purchase and a first code from the consumer. The eCommerce merchant transmits at least a second code to the third party entity to request confirmation of the eCommerce transaction. The second code is at least partially derived from the first code. The eCommerce merchant receives the confirmation from the third party entity. The eCommerce merchant ships the goods only if the confirmation indicates that the consumer has approved, via the third party entity, the eCommerce transaction. The merchant is unaware of financial information belonging to the consumer and at least one of identity of the consumer and a shipping data that is specific to the consumer. The eCommerce merchant receives payment for the eCommerce transaction from the third party entity.
