A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966908B2) outlines a method for a payment processor to provide a payment element on a merchant site's web page. This payment element includes visually configurable data entry elements displayed on the client-side device. The processor receives payment information related to a payment instrument entered by the user and dynamically adjusts the visual configuration of the data entry elements during the user session. The display of a second data entry element is supplemented or withheld based on the payment instrument's attribute, with a controller adjusting the visual configuration accordingly.

Furthermore, the patent details the reconciliation of data entry element states or content across multiple data entry elements through a controller iframe provided by the payment processor. This iframe ensures consistency and facilitates the submission of payment information to the processor or an API. Additionally, the processor creates a token as a proxy for payment information, enhancing security by preventing the exposure of sensitive data to the merchant site. The attribute of the payment instrument is derived based on the entered payment information, further optimizing the payment process for users and merchants alike. The system also involves generating hidden controller iframes to aggregate payment information from the data entry elements, streamlining the transaction process for all parties involved.
