After the consumer A selects the preferential activity of enjoying the 8.5 discount preferential, the confirmation module confirms that the payment way selected by the consumer is 'pay treasure'.
Because the consumer A only has the WeChat payment way, the payment way that the consumer A does not have the Paibao at present is determined after the analysis of the analysis module.
The consumer A provides the WeChat account number of the consumer A, and the information receiving unit can acquire the information provided by the consumer A in a mode of scanning the WeChat two-dimensional code.
The calling and recording unit further analyzes the WeChat two-dimensional code to obtain a mobile phone number of the consumer A, the mobile phone number is used as identity information of the consumer A and is sent to a Payment treasure company, the Payment treasure company records the mobile phone number of the consumer A, and meanwhile, a virtual Payment treasure account number matched with the mobile phone number is generated. At this time, the consumer a has a payment path of the treasured payment, and can enjoy the preferential activities provided by the treasured payment company, and only 433.5 yuan needs to be paid for the consumption payment which originally needs 510 yuan, so that great benefit is obtained. Meanwhile, the Payment treasure company sends the virtual Payment treasure account number to a mobile phone of a consumer A, and the consumer A can convert the virtual Payment treasure account number into an actual Payment treasure account through subsequent submission and registration. Further, the path expansion devices can be connected with each other through a network, and a storage module in the path expansion device can store the mobile phone number of the consumer a and the generated virtual precious payment account number, that is, even if the consumer a does not convert the virtual precious payment account number into an actual precious payment account number, when the consumer a uses the path expansion device again, the consumer a can automatically have a payment path of the precious payment as long as the personal mobile phone number is provided. It should be noted that the virtual pay bank account number may also be generated in a single time.
After the association unit associates the WeChat payment channel of the consumer A with the virtual Paibao account number, the consumer A can use the virtual Paibao account number to pay. In order to facilitate the consumption process of the consumer A, the link unit automatically realizes single link between the merchant collection account and the virtual payer account number.
The payment process is as follows, when the amount in the WeChat payment route of the consumer A is greater than or equal to 433.5 yuan, the amount of the amount which is the same as the amount to be paid is transferred to the virtual PAO account, and meanwhile, because the virtual PAO account and the merchant collection account have a single link relation, after the virtual PAO account receives the amount to be paid, the amount is automatically transferred to the merchant collection account. It should be noted that the payroll company only records the amount of income and expenditure of the virtual account, and does not perform any action on receiving the procedure fee or providing other services. Compared with the prior art, the system for eliminating and expanding the payment way greatly simplifies the registration application and verification process for opening the payment way by automatically expanding the payment way, so that consumers without corresponding payment ways can enjoy benefits; secondly, more users can be provided for a payment path provider through an information filing mechanism and a generated virtual payment channel system; thirdly, the cash register pressure of the cashier of the merchant can be reduced by associating the financial account of the merchant with the virtual payment channel, so that the service efficiency is improved; in addition, the consumption safety of the consumer can be fully guaranteed by executing the form of single link payment.
Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart of a method for expanding payment routing is provided according to an embodiment of the present application.
It should be noted that, for the method of expanding payment route, if there is an unclear or unclear place, please refer to the illustration or description of the system of expanding payment route in fig. 1.
The method for expanding the payment route of the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
s100, acquiring all offer information provided by a merchant, and providing at least one payment choice according to the consumption condition of a consumer;
in the embodiment of the invention, since the merchant usually has the offers provided by the providers through the cooperative relationship with a plurality of payment route providers, the merchant may also derive the offers specific to the merchant itself from the commercial consideration. Therefore, all the offers need to be presented to the consumer, and the presented content should at least include offer information and payment methods corresponding to the offers.
S200, responding to the operation of the consumer, and determining the payment way selected by the consumer;
in the embodiment of the present invention, after the consumer consumes at the merchant, the displayed offer information and the consumption amount provided in step S100 are combined, so that the amount of money actually paid and the payment route through which various offers need to be paid can be provided to the consumer. After the consumer selects, the corresponding payment route can be determined, and the consumer can enjoy the preferential activity corresponding to the payment route when paying through the payment route.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the payment route corresponding to the offer with the lowest actual payment amount may also be automatically selected.
S300, judging whether the consumer has the payment qualification of the final payment route;
since it is uncertain whether the consumer has the final payment route selected in step S200, the payment qualification of the consumer needs to be judged in this step, and if the consumer has the payment qualification of the final payment route, the consumer can directly pay on the premise of enjoying the preferential event. If the consumer does not have the final payment route selected in step S200, then step S400 is entered.
S400, when the consumer does not have payment qualification, automatically generating an expanded payment way matched with the consumer;
please refer to fig. 6, which is a detailed flowchart of step S400 in fig. 5. Step S400, specifically including:
s401, information of the payment route provided by the consumer;
when the consumer is not eligible for payment, any one of the available payment routes may be provided, and the payment route may be in various forms, such as cash payment, bank card payment, and network payment.
S402, calling identity information of the consumer from the information of the payment route provided by the consumer, and recording the identity information to a provider of the payment route to be expanded;
in the embodiment of the invention, the personal identity information of the consumer can be extracted from the payment route of the consumer or can be input by the consumer, when the consumer adopts the cash payment route, the personal identification number, the mobile phone number or other personal information of the consumer can be provided, and the other personal information can comprise various forms of identity information such as fingerprints, face recognition, voiceprints and the like. And after obtaining the personal identity information of the consumer, recording records to the provider of the payment path to be expanded. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when a consumer provides a two-dimensional code of a personal WeChat, a mobile phone number bound to the WeChat can be obtained by analyzing the WeChat two-dimensional code and extracting information. And the mobile phone number is taken as the identity information of the consumer to be filed on the supplier of the payment path to be expanded.
S403, generating a virtual payment channel under the payment route to be expanded;
in the embodiment of the invention, after the information recording is finished, the virtual payment channel corresponding to the expanded payment path is automatically generated under the identity information of the consumer. After the virtual payment channel is generated, feedback should be given to the consumer.
S404, associating the payment route of the consumer with the virtual payment channel;
in the embodiment of the invention, the payment route possessed by the consumer is associated with the virtual payment channel, so that the consumer can use the funds in the payment route possessed by the consumer for fund transfer through the virtual payment channel.
S405, establishing a single communication relation between the merchant collection account and the virtual payment channel.
This step is mainly to enable mutual fund settlement between the virtual payment channel and the merchant collection account, and generally, only a single settlement is guaranteed. In other embodiments of the present invention, the virtual payment channel may be placed in communication with the merchant collection account.
And S500, the consumer pays by expanding a payment way.
In this step, the consumer can be considered as the payment completed through the extended payment route because the consumer completes the payment through the virtual payment channel and the virtual payment channel is derived from the extended payment route.
Please refer to fig. 7, which is a detailed flowchart of step S500 in fig. 5. Step S500, specifically including:
s501, calculating or accumulating the amount of money in a payment way of a consumer;
in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, since the consumer may have multiple payment routes and the amount in a single payment route is not enough to complete the consumption settlement, the amount in the payment route currently owned by the consumer needs to be cumulatively calculated.
S502, comparing the calculated amount with the consumption amount, and when the calculated amount is larger than or equal to the consumption amount, paying through the virtual payment channel.
Compared with the prior art, the method for expanding the payment path greatly simplifies the registration application and verification process of opening the payment path by automatically expanding the payment path, so that consumers without the corresponding payment path can enjoy the benefits; secondly, more users can be provided for a payment path provider through an information filing mechanism and a generated virtual payment channel system; thirdly, the cash register pressure of the cashier of the merchant can be reduced by associating the financial account of the merchant with the virtual payment channel, so that the service efficiency is improved; in addition, the consumption safety of the consumer can be fully guaranteed by executing the form of single link payment.
