Apparatus and method for improved payment experience

A system for handoff of a transaction for completion is provided, the system having a point-of-sale terminal and a server. The point-of-sale terminal is configured to employ a token with the server to perform the handoff of the transaction for completion on a guest device, where communications between the point-of-sale terminal and the server are transmitted and received through a gateway device that is collocated with the point-of-sale terminal. The server is configured to transmit details of the transaction for display on the guest device, and is configured to receive transaction completion data provided by the guest device, and is configured to notify the guest device and the point-of-sale terminal that the transaction is complete, where the server is not collocated with the point-of-sale terminal.
