The authentication server receives the digital order from the payment server, formats the digital order into a first message and further routes the first message. The communication device includes a payment card module and the payment card module receives a payment card and reads payment card identification information stored in the payment card. The communication device also receives the first message from the authentication server, displays the first message to the customer, requests and receives authorization for payment for the purchase order with the payment card from the customer, retrieves the payment card identification information, requests and receives payment card security information from the customer, and routes the authorization and the payment card identification and security information to the authentication server.
