Abstract: A secure environment where third party application can access confidential consumer information without having the confidential consumer information identifiable to the third party application. The method and system may include pushing information to the third parties servers. Multiple data access methods may be used including direct token based access to data stored on systems as well as access to external information using a anonymous token generation per an external request. The external response would be normalized and merge with managed data into a single set of data for third party application processing.

The digital receipt generator receives receipt printing requests from the point of sale terminal, identifies the customer making the purchase, and transmits the receipt data to a printer, to a central server or to both.

Abstract: A global electronic receipt platform for recording, managing and accessing transaction receipts through retailers' physical or internet based point of sale system. Consumers are assigned a unique identifier (UI), and retailers submit purchase transaction information to this system through secured internet connections between retailers' point of sale systems and the global electronic receipt system every time the UI is presented. Programmed plugs-ins made available to retailers can be integrated into existing point of sale systems in order to process and submit electronic receipts to the database agent. Each consumer is provided with an electronic receipt card which stores their UI and is presented at the time of purchase or in order to process a return, an exchange or claim a promotion such as a coupon or a rebate. This UI is used to get access to different interfaces in order to view, manage and search through their transaction history.
