- one or more computers servers sharing and storing data, the one or more servers configured to;
receive, from a user computer node over a computer network, a user identifier (ID) and a password associated with a user to authenticate the user;
provide one or more first graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to be displayed over the network on the user computer node in response to authenticating the user at the user computer node;
receive, from the user computer node over the computer network, transaction session information to begin the online transaction session, wherein the online transaction session information is received during the online transaction session and in response to the information being provided through the one or more first GUIs at the user computer node;
link the received transaction session information, associated with the online transaction session that has begun at the user computer node, with the user ID;
store the transaction session information linked with the user ID;
receive, from the remote computer node over the computer network, the user ID and the password associated with the user to authenticate the user;
transfer, over the computer network, the transaction session information linked to the user ID to the remote computer node in response to authenticating the user at the remote computer node, wherein the transaction session information is transferred to the remote computer node utilizing a plurality of messages and each message includes a first field storing the user ID and a second field storing a transaction session ID of the online transaction session, and wherein the plurality of messages are utilized by the remote computer node to reconstruct the online transaction session at the remote computer node;
provide one or more second GUIs to be displayed over the network on the remote computer node to continue the online transaction session at the remote computer node in response to the transfer, wherein the remote computer node continues the online transaction session by providing additional transaction session information utilizing the one or more second GUIs; and
receive, from the remote computer node over the computer network, the additional transaction session information to continue the online transaction session at the remote computer node utilizing the additional transaction information with the stored transaction session information.
