  • Publication number: 20250037100
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sales data processing apparatus has a communication interface and a processor. The processor acquires settlement data associated with a code symbol from a customer terminal. The settlement data includes information for completing a code settlement payment for a sales transaction which is transmitted via the communication interface to an external server providing a settlement proxy service. The processor receives a settlement result notification via the communication interface from the external server. The settlement result notification includes a code settlement brand used for the code settlement payment. The processor compares the code settlement brand to a listing of approved brands and outputs a notification that the code settlement payment was performed using an unapproved code settlement brand if the code settlement brand included in the settlement result notification does not match an approved brand on the listing.
