In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to processing product returns. In some embodiments, a system for processing returns comprises a POS terminal located in a retail facility and configured to receive an order identifier associated with an online order that includes a product purchased from a third-party seller via the retailer's website, wherein the retail facility is a brick-and-mortar facility associated with the retailer, and wherein the third-party seller is not the retailer, and transmit, to a control circuit, the order identifier, a database configured to store order information, and the control circuit configured to receive the order identifier, determine the product, determine a refund amount for the product, determine a location to which the product should be returned, generate a return label, create a return transaction for the product, and transmit the return label, wherein the POS terminal is configured to print the return label.

Systems and methods for processing third-party returns

In some embodiments, systems and methods provide distributed item authentication. In some embodiments systems comprise: a housing; a set of sensor systems; a transceiver; and an authentication control circuit configured to: obtain first sensor data of an item being authenticated, obtain an initial identification of the item; access an item authentication block specific to the item; obtain a first set of authentication instructions; control one or more sensor systems in accordance with the first set of authentication instructions; compare multiple current authentication sensor data to the set of multiple historic authentication sensor data; confirm that each of a threshold number of the multiple current authentication sensor data is consistent within a threshold variation of a corresponding one of the set of multiple historic authentication sensor data; and cause the item authentication block to be updated to include the confirmation of authentication of the item.

Systems and methods of authenticating items

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media configured according to this disclosure provide money services on a money services device such as a kiosk device, tablet device, mobile device, virtual reality device, mixed reality device and the like. An application runs on the money services device and communicates with remote services to perform profile management functions such as facilitating account log-in and allowing users to log-in using mobile messaging. Other services such as verifying the user's ID via an account management service may also be provided.

System and method providing checkout authentication using text messaging

An example method for performing concepts disclosed can include: obtaining a first authentication factor including first biometric data of a user; hashing the first authentication factor to create a first hash; registering the user with a digital credit system using the created first hash; obtaining a second authentication factor including second biometric data of the user; hashing the second authentication factor to create a second hash; comparing the first hash and the second hash; and proceeding the transaction based on the comparison.

System and method for biometric credit based on blockchain

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for crowdsource loaned code with blockchain. A method include: initiating, by a customer, a request of crowdsource of a courier for delivering an order when the customer places the order, the request including a delivery time and a delivery address; generating a public key of the customer based at least on the order; specifying the courier by matching the request with information of the courier; obtaining, by the courier, the public key of the customer using blockchain; generating, a one-time private key for the courier based on the order or the request; generating a one-time public key for a store based on the order or the request; presenting, by the courier, the public key of the customer or store, or the one-time private key of the courier at the store; verifying, by the store, the public key of the customer or store, or the one-time private key of the courier; and delivering the order by the courier.

System and method for crowd source loaned code with blockchain

In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein useful to automatically authorizing digital rights access. In some embodiments, the system comprises a content creator server, wherein the content creator server is configured to create a block, wherein the block includes the content, publish, to a public ledger, the block, wherein the public ledger comprises a blockchain, generate, for a user device, a key, wherein the key provides digital rights access to the block, and transmit, to the user device, the key, the user device configured to store a local copy of the public ledger, update the local copy of the public ledger to include the block, receive, from the content creator server, the key, and access, via the local copy of the public ledger with the key, the block, wherein access to the block allows the user device to make use of the content.
