Abstract
Computing systems and methods for facilitating consumer transactions in retail and other establishments include communication interfaces adapted to couple a computing system to a plurality of third party phones or other mobile electronic devices, storage components adapted to store user information, participating merchant information, or any combination thereof, and processors in communication with the communication interfaces and storage components. The processors are adapted to facilitate the automatic wireless checkins of third party users of the third party phones or other mobile electronic devices at participating merchants. Such automatic wireless checkins take place when the third party phones or mobile electronic devices are simply present at the participating merchants, without any affirmative activity by the users at the participating merchants.
