Abstract
A method of processing transactions is described. A pricing matrix is configured on a billing server. The pricing matrix has a set of cells, each cells corresponding to an intersection between a respective country and a respective target price. The merchant server downloads the pricing matrix periodically from the billing server. The merchant server determines a country of a consumer mobile phone and displays price points corresponding to the country within a mobile phone application. When the consumer selects one of the price points a transaction is processed between the consumer mobile phone, the billing server and a carrier server aligned with the billing server.
