Abstract: Provided are a re-using e-commerce payment instruments for in-store purchasing systems and methods. A customer enters a check out and a transaction at the point of sale is started. The system receives a pairing request at a wallet processor from a customer mobile device operating a mobile application. This pairing request is created and sent in response to scanning of a code having a transaction identification. The system associates a customer payment profile with the transaction identification and sends associated information to the point of sale. The point of sale sends an amount of sale to authorize to the wallet processor after completing scanning of items. The system creates an authorization for payment and sending the authorization for payment to an authorizer. The transaction may then be completed by processing payment.

Abstract: Provided are check-in to checkout systems and methods. The system includes a point of sale, a display, a mobile device, and a backend system. When the POS starts a transaction, such as, but not limited to scanning an item, the POS generates a transaction/basket identification. In response to starting the transaction, the POS sends the transaction/basket ID to the display in the form of a QR code or one-dimensional barcode. The mobile device operating a mobile application scans and captures the displayed code and reports to the backend systems. The backend systems then send a check-in event, which includes gathered data by the backend systems, to the POS and the POS acknowledges receipt of the message. At this point, a notification may be sent to the mobile application that the check-in was successful and a link is established for flow of information.

Abstract: A refund processing system and method for automatically processing refunds to a mobile payment account of a customer is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving sales transaction information from a transaction records database, in response to a request from a point of sale device when a refund for an item is initiated, transmitting the sales transaction information to calculate an amount of funds to be refunded to a payment instrument, detecting that the payment instrument is not valid while attempting to apply the refund, and determining whether an electronic gift card is currently associated with the mobile payment account of the customer, and if so, applying the refund to the electronic gift card, and if not, creating a new electronic gift card and applying the amount of funds to the new electronic gift card.

Abstract: Provided is a merchant split tender system and method. A cashier completes a scan of merchandise and enters tendering phase. The point of sale sends a the request to authorize a total dollar amount to a wallet processor. The wallet processor accesses a customer payment profile to determine if there is a split tender configuration. If there is a split tender configuration, the wallet processor determines a first account and a second account to use for providing tender for the purchase. The first account and the second account to use is determined by the customer payment profile. The first account may be authorized first and then the second account may be authorized for the remaining amount. The system may also use more than two accounts. This process happens automatically based on the customer payment profile.

Abstract: Provided are common user experience for a mobile wallet system and methods. The system may include generally a mobile application operated on a mobile device, a mobile backend, a wallet broker, a point of sale (“POS”), and authorizer(s). The system allows a customer to receive encoded/encrypted data by scanning a code, or by receiving a wireless message, such as a Bluetooth low energy transmission or a near field communication, regardless of the mobile application or operating system. Mobile backend systems translate the messages so the customer does not have to do something different for different mobile applications. The system may alternatively allow a cashier to scan a participating mobile application's code such as a QR code/barcode. Mobile backend systems determine which wallet to communicate with and does so on the POS behalf. The POS is isolated from complexities of integrating with different mobile applications and corresponding backend systems.
