Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to consumer operated kiosks for purchasing items online and associated systems and methods. In one embodiment, for example, a method of making purchases online can include receiving funds (e.g., bills and/or coins) from a user at a consumer operated kiosk, and receiving online order information at the consumer operated kiosk. The online order information can be associated with a user account stored on a remote database and can include a cost of an online order from a third party merchant. The method can further include initiating transfer of at least a portion of the received funds to the third party merchant to pay for the online order.
