Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for associating payment information from a payment transaction with a user account. One of the methods includes receiving an indication of a payment transaction between a customer and a merchant, wherein the payment transaction is associated with payment information. A customer parameter that identifies an account with the payment service system is received. If the customer has consented to associate the payment information with the account of the payment service system based on receiving the customer parameter that identifies the account with the payment service system, the account is identified based on the received customer parameter, and the payment information is associated with the identified account of the payment service system.
