In some examples, methods and systems may process one or more payment transactions between a merchant and a customer by establishing a short-range communication channel between a first computing device associated with a first user a second computing device associated with a second user. The method includes receiving, while the first computing device is offline with respect to a payment processing system, a fund transfer request from the second computing device, where the fund transfer request includes a payment proxy of the second user, the payment proxy having the syntax of a monetary currency indicator preceding an alphanumeric character. The method includes sending the fund transfer request from the first computing device to payment processing system after the first computing device establishes network connectivity with the payment processing system using a long range communication network protocol. The payment processing system processes the request unless the request has been previously authorized.
