Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a shopping support apparatus includes a reader, a memory, and a processor. The processor causes the reader to read a data code, obtains store-specific setting information, and causes the memory to store control mode information included in the obtained setting information. The processor determines, on the basis of the control mode information of the setting information stored in the memory, whether to set a first mode for shopping support at the store as the control mode of the processor or set a second mode for a task restricted to an operation of an authorized person as the control mode of the processor.
