Systems and methods for verifying remote purchases

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable media are disclosed for electronic security systems for an establishment offering in-store pick-up of previously purchased products. Embodiments may include an electronic article surveillance (EAS) gate, a receiver for receiving transmissions from the tags, and a processor. The processor may be configured to access a purchase transaction record of an out-of-store product purchase; receive a unique tag ID of a specific tag associated with a specific product corresponding to the purchased product, and assign the specific product to a record associated with the purchase transaction; receive, from a mobile communications device, a notification that the purchased product is being picked up at the establishment; authorize pick-up of the specific product based on the received information; and following the authorization of pick-up, disable an ability to initiate an alarm when the receiver receives a transmission from the specific tag in proximity to the EAS gate.
