Can users game the system with multiple Tabs?
No. Each Supertab account is tied to a unique user identity and payment method, preventing users from opening multiple tabs to avoid charges or extend credit.
When a user logs in through a social provider (Google, Apple, etc.), Supertab links their account, payment details, and purchase history to that verified identity. Even if a user visits multiple participating merchants, their purchases are aggregated under a single open tab.
Supertab’s system enforces strict one-tab-per-user behavior through several mechanisms:
- Unique identity matching: Each tab is associated with the verified identity from the user’s social login and payment token.
- Shared ledger: Purchases across all merchants are combined into the same running total. Creating a “new” tab would require a completely different verified identity and payment method.
- Session continuity: Tabs are stored remotely and linked to the authenticated user session. If the user attempts to sign in elsewhere with the same credentials, their existing tab data is retrieved rather than a new one created.
- Anti-abuse checks: Supertab monitors for patterns consistent with duplicate or fraudulent accounts (such as identical payment methods, IP overlaps, or repeated identity data).
While a technically skilled user could try to create multiple accounts, doing so would require separate verified social identities and payment cards—making it impractical for most users and easily detectable through Supertab’s integrity checks.
This structure ensures that every user has one active tab at a time, maintaining accurate accounting and protecting merchants from revenue dilution or deferred payments.
