A method for enabling two businesses to complete a transaction that
includes payment from one business (the buyer) to another business (the
seller). A payment enabler operates the money transfer service over a
computer network of nodes, such as the Internet. Typically, the buyer and
the seller use the money transfer service of the payment enabler to
consummate a transaction that they have arranged over the computer
network through a business-to-business transaction facilitator that
enables businesses to arrange deals over the computer network. During
registration with the payment enabler, a buyer typically provides
information about a bank account from which the seller will be paid, and
the seller typically provides information about a bank account for
receiving the funds from the buyer. The payment enabler facilitates
payments for transactions between businesses by enabling the employees of
a business registered with the payment enabler to direct the various
phases of the payment process on behalf of the business for which those
employees work. A super user employee, identified by the business during
registration with the payment enabler, has the power to register other
employees of the business with the payment enabler and to specify the
privileges that the payment enabler should grant each employee to act on
behalf of the business.
