Provided are a re-using e-commerce payment instruments for in-store purchasing systems and methods. A customer enters a check out and a transaction at the point of sale is started. The system receives a pairing request at a wallet processor from a customer mobile device operating a mobile application. This pairing request is created and sent in response to scanning of a code having a transaction identification. The system associates a customer payment profile with the transaction identification and sends associated information to the point of sale. The point of sale sends an amount of sale to authorize to the wallet processor after completing scanning of items. The system creates an authorization for payment and sending the authorization for payment to an authorizer. The transaction may then be completed by processing payment.

Re-using payment instruments for in-store use systems and methods

Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media provided for a system for generating personalized electronic documents and verifying user identity are discussed. The system receives user identification data and check information from a user application. The check information is validated by the issuer of the check. The system transmits a notification to the user application that includes a machine readable code. The user application presents the machine readable code and the user identification data to a check-in module and automatic processing of the check is initiated.

Systems, devices, and methods for generating personalized electronic documents

Provided are check-in to checkout systems and methods. The system includes a point of sale, a display, a mobile device, and a backend system. When the POS starts a transaction, such as, but not limited to scanning an item, the POS generates a transaction/basket identification. In response to starting the transaction, the POS sends the transaction/basket ID to the display in the form of a QR code or one-dimensional barcode. The mobile device operating a mobile application scans and captures the displayed code and reports to the backend systems. The backend systems then send a check-in event, which includes gathered data by the backend systems, to the POS and the POS acknowledges receipt of the message. At this point, a notification may be sent to the mobile application that the check-in was successful and a link is established for flow of information.

Check-in to checkout systems and methods

Re-using e-commerce payment instruments for in-store use systems and methods

Techniques for related to retail transaction are disclosed. The techniques involve various uses of a mobile device, such as a cell phone, in authorizing payment for a retail transaction and/or receiving and/or transmitting data to/from the mobile device.

System, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media related to transactions using a mobile device

Various embodiments can include a system for the prevention of fraud. The system can comprise one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory storage devices storing computing instructions. The computing instructions can be configured to run on the one or more processors and can perform: receiving an indication from a software application on a mobile device of a user that the mobile device has broken a first geofence; calculating a risk score for a first user account of the user; and prompting the user for additional information via the mobile device when the risk score is below a predetermined value. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

System and method for location-based fraud prevention

Various embodiments include a system that can comprise one or more processing modules and/or one or more non-transitory memory storage modules storing computing instructions on the one or more processing modules. The computing instructions can be configured to perform the acts of receiving an ordered list from a user via a software application on a mobile device of the user, wherein the software can comprise a bar code scanner, wherein the ordered list can comprise a first set of records describing a first set of physical items; receiving first data obtained from the barcode scanner, wherein the first data can comprise a first distinct record describing a first distinct physical item within the first set of physical items; querying a physical item database, wherein the physical item database can comprise a second distinct record describing the location of the first distinct physical item and a second set of records describing locations of the first set of physical items; calculating a first optimized route from the location of the first distinct physical item to a first series of distinct physical items using at least a portion of the second set of records and the second distinct record, wherein the first series of distinct physical items can comprise at least a portion of the first set of physical items; creating a first reordered list from the first series of distinct physical items using the first optimized route; and presenting the first optimized route and the first reordered list to the user via a graphic user interface on the software application on the mobile device of the user. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

System and method for optimized navigation

Various embodiments include a method. The method can comprise receiving form a user a request to stock an item at a store at a location. In many embodiments, the method can include updating a product wish list for the store by at least one of adding the item to the product wish list for the store at the location, or increasing a count for the item on the product wish list for the store at the location, if the item is already on the product wish list. The method can further comprise ordering the item and offering the item for sale at the store at the location. Other embodiments of related methods and systems are also provided.

Method, system, and computer-readable medium for a carry item wish list

Various embodiments include a system that can comprise one or more processing modules and/or one or more non-transitory memory storage modules storing computing instructions on the one or more processing modules. The computing instructions can be configured to perform the acts of accessing a user history of a user in a first database, wherein the user history can comprise a first set of records describing a first set of physical items, wherein the first set of records can comprise a first distinct record describing a first distinct physical item, and/or wherein the first set of physical items can comprise the first distinct physical item; querying a physical item database for a second distinct record, wherein the physical item database can comprise the second distinct record, and wherein the second distinct record can describe a location of the first distinct physical item; receiving a first physical proximity indication that the user is within a first predefined physical proximity to the location of the first distinct physical item; in response to receiving the first physical proximity notification, automatically notifying the user that the user is within the first predefined physical proximity to the location of the first distinct physical item; receiving a first removal indication that the user has removed the first distinct physical item from the location of the first distinct physical item; and/or in response to receiving the first removal indication, automatically removing the first distinct record from the user history. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

System and method for record management

Some embodiments include a system. The system can comprise one or more processors and one or more non-transitory storage devices. The one or more non-transitory storage devices can store computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform acts of: receiving a transmission from a first mobile device used by an individual in a physical structure, the transmission indicating that the individual will be removing at least one item from the physical structure; retrieving information about the at least one item, the information comprising at least one volume of the at least one item; determining a total volume based on the at least one volume of the at least one item; estimating a number of containers needed for the at least one item, the estimating the number of containers based on the total volume; and forwarding the number of containers needed to an electronic device of a representative of the physical structure to permit the representative to estimate whether the individual is taking unauthorized items out of the physical structure. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
