Embodiment Construction

[0017] Before discussing various embodiments, some terms may be described in more detail.

[0018] An "access device" may be any suitable device that provides access to a remote system. The access device may also be used to communicate with portable devices, resource provider computers, network computers, authorized entity computers, or any other suitable system. The access device may generally be located at any suitable location, such as at a merchant's location. The access device may take any suitable form. Some examples of access devices include point-of-sale (POS) devices (e.g., POS terminals), cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal computers (PCs), tablet computers, handheld application-specific readers, set-top boxes, electronic cash registers ( ECR), automated teller machine (ATM), virtual cash register (VCR), kiosk, security system, access system, etc. In some embodiments, the access device may be a device that acts as a payment terminal at a ...

Abstract

A system and method is disclosed. A network computer can receive an authorization request message comprising access data. The network computer can also receive product data for a transaction. The network computer can then determine an offset value based on the product data. The network computer can then perform additional processing based upon the offset value.

Description

[0001] background [0002] This application is a PCT application claiming priority to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 16 / 149,508, filed October 2, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] When a good is produced or a service is provided to a consumer, there is usually an impact on the environment associated with the good or service (eg, a certain amount of carbon is emitted into the atmosphere, energy is consumed, etc.). For example, when a consumer purchases an airline ticket, at least a portion of the carbon gases emitted from the flight of the aircraft may be attributed to the purchase of the airline ticket. A "carbon offset" may include a quantifiable amount of an environmentally friendly activity or action that can be purchased to reduce or neutralize the environmental impact of a good or service. However, identifying and / or determining appropriate carbon offsets to associate with the production of goods or provisi...
