Systems and methods to facilitate commercial transactions conducted at
geographically remote locations is disclosed. A wireless point of sale
(POS) device may be configured to locate a payment system and transmit a
payment authorization request from a remote location to at least one
payment system, either directly, or via a payment system directory and/or
a SSL Gateway. The invention also includes inserting third party account
information into an encrypted portion of the payment request, so the
payment request appears as a normal request to the issuing bank, but the
third party account information may be used by the third party to bill
the customer.
