Systems and methods are provided for online transactions using pattern recognition. A user of a payment provider may create and register patterns drawn by the user on a pattern entry image. The user may register the patterns by associating transaction options with each drawn pattern. Each pattern may be used to execute a particular transaction such as a purchase transaction, a payment of a specific amount, a payment to a specific recipient, or a sales transaction. When the user wishes to execute a transaction such as an online payment to a particular recipient for a particular amount, the user can redraw the registered pattern associated with payments to that recipient for that amount. A pattern can be drawn at a particular location on the pattern entry image. Different transactions can be associated with patterns drawn at different locations.
