Ideally yes, but I believe (and note that I am not a patent lawyer), that you can also have patents for 'methods of doing business'. Methods of doing business are closer to 'buying something with one click,' as they aren't tied to a physical machine or a specific implementation of a process as in code, they are patenting the process of purchasing with one click through a web form itself. The 'invention' is the supposedly 'innovative' way of allowing customers to purchase something using a single button.
