         [0057]    Computer used for intermediate transaction  100  is explained as below in more detail. 
         [0058]    Multiple computers used for social commerce business as the buyer  200  is the computer system operated by social commerce business that sells discount coupon of the product of the partner company bound by contract wherein it sells discount coupon of other social commerce business partner company, and not just the discount coupon of their partner company. In order to achieve this, request for approval is sent to computer used for intermediate transaction  100  in order for their information to be registered for intermediate transaction. 
         [0059]    Then, multiple computers used for social commerce business as the buyer  200  downloads the intermediary solution which includes transaction message for mutual intermediate transaction, API module needed for message transmission, program design manual and instruction manual from the portal server of computer used for intermediate transaction  100  to be applied to their respective system in order to prepare for the intermediate transaction system. 
         [0060]    Afterwards, computer used for intermediate transaction  100  receives coupon information and conditions of the transaction from computer used for social commerce business as the seller  300  to evaluate business value and profitability wherein information on whether coupon would be up for transaction is sent to computer used for intermediate transaction  100  where coupon information file will be received once the transaction is established. If the coupon is from social commerce business in overseas, coupon information file that had been translated for local use will be provided for domestic customers. 
         [0061]    Moreover, multiple computers used for social commerce business as the buyer  200  undertake the task of preparation for selling the coupon in the web page by processing the coupon information file accordingly. 
         [0062]    When multiple computers used for social commerce business as the buyer  200  receive cancellation of the purchased coupon or order cancellation request, it checks the deadline of the corresponding coupon as sent by the computer used for intermediate transaction  100 . When the coupon hasn&#39;t reached the deadline, order or order cancellation process is carried out wherein order or order cancellation process is sent to computer used for intermediate transaction  100  with the message format that had been previously agreed upon with computer used for intermediate transaction  100  to carry out the order or order cancellation. 
         [0063]    When the deadline draws near, multiple computers used for social commerce business as the buyer  200  receives the transaction deadline information of the corresponding coupon from computer used for intermediate transaction  100  to carry out the internal task related to the deadline. When computer used for intermediate transaction  100  sends the message about entire transaction of the coupon being cancelled as it did not reach minimum sales amount specified by condition of the transaction, entire transaction with computer used for social commerce business as the buyer  200  is cancelled and customers who ordered the coupon are refunded and also provided with information about refunds and cancelling the order during the process of terminating coupon related transaction. 
         [0064]    Reversely, when minimum sales amount is exceeded and the computer used for intermediate transaction  100  sends the message that transaction had been established, transaction history of the corresponding coupon is sent to the computer used for intermediate transaction  100  wherein consistency of transaction history with computer used for intermediate transaction  100  is checked. 
         [0000]    After the checking process, summary of coupon transaction history and request for transaction payment is sent by the computer used for intermediate transaction  100  wherein request to proceed with the money transfer according to the conditions of the transaction is sent to computer used in financial institutions  400  after checking the consistency to end the coupon related transaction between social commerce businesses. 
         [0065]    When coupon transaction is between domestic social commerce businesses, delivering the ordered product to the customers is handled by the partner company in contract with the social commerce business as the buyer. When coupon related transaction is carried out with international social commerce business, international delivery and domestic delivery is handled by intermediary company. In case where delivery is not possible due to change of address and other circumstances, computer used for social commerce business as the buyer  200  receives information that delivery was not made possible from computer used for intermediate transaction  100  wherein domestic delivery company delivers the product that had been ordered to the company to wait for request by the customer in regards to delivery. When there is a request for the delivery from the customer, ordered product is sent out to the customer and the transaction ends. 
         [0066]    Computer used for social commerce business as the seller  300  is explained as below in more detail. Computer used for social commerce business as the seller  300  corresponds to social commerce business as the buyer wherein it refers to computer system operated by social commerce business that sells discount coupons for products provided by the partner company to registered customers. In order to sell the discount coupon for product of the partner company to customers registered in other social commerce business in overseas, request for approval is sent to computer used for intermediate transaction  100  in order for their information to be registered for intermediate transaction.
