Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to process a transaction in which a customer purchases an item. A third party subsidy offer, such as an offer to apply a third party subsidy amount to the transaction in exchange for the customer performing a task, is provided to the customer. The third party subsidy offer may be provided to the customer in response to the customer indicating an interest in purchasing the item. An evaluation may be performed to determine if a merchant benefit, such as a merchant subsidy amount, will also be applied to the transaction. A further evaluation may be performed to determine whether an additional task, not corresponding to a benefit, will also be associated with the third party subsidy offer and also output to the customer in conjunction with, or as part of, the third party subsidy offer.
