Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient method for allowing a consumer to purchase a product from a plurality of merchants. SOLUTION: A multi-merchant purchasing system determines payment information associated with a user and, with minimum user-interaction, sends the payment information to applications associated with the merchants for processing. The system may also be configured to receive purchase information from the merchant applications and maintains the purchase information for the user in a locker. The multi-merchant purchasing system may further be configured to automatically download and install the purchased product onto the user's computing device through a software assistant. To ensure privacy and security, the multi-merchant purchasing system may include a credit card quarantine module to secure credit card data by encoding and multiple levels of encryptions.
