Abstract
Various embodiments are directed to enhancing a card payment experience by a single tap of a contactless card to a user computing device. In examples, the single tap of the card may be preconfigured to cause automatic payment of a predefined amount toward a card balance. If the single tap is not preconfigured to mean automatic card payment, the user may be presented with a notification and various payment amount options, which the user can select to pay toward the card balance.

1-7. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- device memory;
- and
- at least one processor operable to execute stored instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, at an application programming interface (API) endpoint of one or more API endpoints, an authentication payload from a contactless card via a user device, wherein a uniform resource locator specifies the one or more endpoints for the user device to send the authentication payload;
- determine an occurrence of a single tap event based on receiving the authentication payload;
- and
- in response to the occurrence of the single tap event:
- apply a first payment amount to a card balance and send a first notification to the user computing device of successful card payment, the first payment amount being a predefined amount preconfigured by a user, or
- send a second notification to the user computing device of a payment amount input request, receive an indication of a second payment amount from the user computing device in response to the second notification, apply the second payment amount to the card balance, and send a third notification to the user computing device of the successful card payment.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a system including an application programming interface (API) endpoint of one or more API endpoints, an authentication payload from a contactless card via a user device, wherein a uniform resource locator (URL) specifies the one or more endpoints for the user device to send the authentication payload;
- determining, by the system, an occurrence of a single tap event based on receiving the authentication protocol;
- and
- in response to the occurrence of the single tap event:
- applying, by the system, a first payment amount to a card balance and sending a first notification to the user computing device of successful card payment, the first payment amount being a predefined amount preconfigured by a user, or
- sending, by the system, a second notification to the user computing device of a payment amount input request, receiving an indication of a second payment amount from the user computing device in response to the second notification, applying the second payment amount to the card balance, and sending a third notification to the user computing device of the successful card payment.
