Abstract

See full text

An email-based e-commerce system is disclosed with additional features for added security. The system may include security features for email based e-commerce providing added assurance to customers of a higher level of protection than generally required. These security features enhance the password reset function without requiring a password, generate confirmations on outside messaging systems and implement an oversight management tool for authorizing transactions. The methods and apparatus described herein may enhance security by designing a system that can confirm payments through a separate non-email based media. The e-commerce system may send alerts or requests for confirmation in a variety of media to ensure a secure payment process. The methods and apparatus described herein may expand the list of individuals that may request or approve payments based on a single account registered by a single credit card holder. A single user may receive requests from registered sub-customers for payments by email.
