Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0237233A2] A network-based payment service provides various features for facilitating online, user-to-user payments over a computer network. The service is provided by a service provider web site (66) that runs a pay pages application (76) through which users remotely define customized pay pages for receiving payments from other users. The pay pages application (76) also processes monetary transfers between the accounts (72) of users of the service. In one embodiment, the pay pages application (76) provides functions for a pay page owner to define one or more "pay boxes" to allow payments to be initiated from other web sites (120), which may include the web sites of associates who receive commissions on resulting payments. Another feature involves the ability for users to make single-action payments from web sites (120) external to the service provider site (66). Also disclosed are various features for controlling access to content and services based on whether, or an extent to which, a visitor has made voluntary or mandatory payments.
