Abstract
A method and an order debit card enable the compilation of an order for items and quantities selected from a plurality of items and quantities available in the card and the transfer of information pertaining to the compiled order to a vendor at a remote site so as to avoid the necessity for compiling the order at the vendor's site, thereby avoiding delay. In addition, a given value is available in the card enabling the advance placement of the compiled order, and the value of the compiled order is deducted from the given value to establish a current given value in the card subsequent to placement of the compiled order.
