Abstract
Methods and systems for self-service checkout. In an embodiment, a mobile device processor of a consumer's mobile device recognizes that the consumer mobile device has been transported to a merchant store location, initializes a self-service checkout application which includes at least one merchant rule preventing the consumer from purchasing certain items, receives input data, displays information concerning at least one item, and receives an indication that shopping is completed. The method includes transmitting checkout data to a self-service checkout computer for transmission to a merchant server, receiving, from the merchant server via the self-service checkout computer, a transaction authorization message and merchant instructions, and displaying the transaction authorization message and the merchant instructions including instructions directing the consumer to proceed to a designated exit.
