Abstract: Systems and methods for secure virtualized intermediated configuration and control of payment processing peripheral devices, as may be embodied in a SNIPP system, are provided. Such systems and methods enable the request of purchaser payment information from payment processing peripheral device(s) on behalf of a POS system and the aggregation and association of that purchaser payment information with a corresponding purchase transaction received from the POS system. The purchase transaction and the payment transaction are aggregated and thereby associated; and the resulting aggregated payment transaction is submitted to an electronic payments processing facility that responds with a confirmation indicating ‘acceptance’ or ‘denial’ of the payment transaction. The confirmation is relayed to the POS system and possibly to the payment processing peripheral device(s) such that it may be displayed to the purchaser and/or an attendant.
