A commodity purchase system for assisting a customer not in a store in making a purchase includes a relay server, a first terminal, and second terminal. The first terminal captures an image of commodities in the store, and the second terminal displays the image and detects a user selection operation at a position in the image, and then issues a scan request with information indicating a position in the image at which the selection operation was been made. Upon receipt of the scan request, the first terminal, display the image on which the selection operation was made with the position of the selection operation being marked in the image. The first terminal can then be used to scan one of the commodities and transmit, to the relay server, scanned commodity information. The relay server then registers the scanned commodities for purchase.
