If the first offline store and the second offline store are the same, it may be determined that the recipient pays the product corresponding to the product details received as a gift to the recipient without separate settlement processing.

When the first offline store (offline store where the product purchaser purchased the product) and the second offline store (offline store where the recipient requests to receive the product) do not match, the payment cost acquisition unit 230 may store the product in the first offline store. The first payment cost paid by the buyer for the product gift is acquired (S330).

The payment cost acquisition unit 230 may, for example, obtain the first payment cost information by requesting the first payment cost information from the first offline store or through a product database inquiry. Alternatively, when the product gift receipt information includes the first payment cost information, the payment cost acquisition unit 230 may acquire the first payment cost paid by the product buyer at the first offline store from the product gift receipt information. .

The payment cost calculation unit 240 may calculate a second payment cost that is a product payment cost corresponding to product details included in the product gift receipt information based on the second offline store ( S340 ). Even for the same product, the selling cost of the product may be set differently according to the price policy of each offline store. The product price (second payment cost) corresponding to the product details received as a gift at the second offline store where the product receipt is requested may be different.

The settlement processing unit 250 compares the first payment cost paid by the product buyer at the first offline store with the second payment cost corresponding to the gift product price at the second offline store, and the first payment cost and the second payment cost The cost settlement between the first offline store, the second offline store, the product buyer, and the payee may be processed according to the difference between the two (S350).

The settlement processing unit 250, for example, when the second payment cost in the second offline store is less than the first payment cost in the first offline store, the product buyer and / with respect to the difference or a certain percentage of the difference Alternatively, payment processing such as refund of payment costs and payment of points may be performed to the payee.

The settlement processing unit 250 may process the cost settlement in the first offline store, or may process the cost settlement in the second offline store. The settlement processing unit 250 may, for example, pay the second payment cost among the first payment costs paid from the product buyer in the first offline store to the second offline store, and pay the difference to the buyer and/or the recipient. .

As another example, the settlement processing unit 250 pays all of the first payment cost received from the product buyer in the first offline store to the second offline store, and by the difference between the first payment cost and the second payment cost in the second offline store It may also perform settlement processing for payment to the buyer and/or the recipient.

As another example, when the second payment cost in the second offline store exceeds the first payment cost in the first offline store, the settlement processing unit 250 pays an additional cost to the payee for the difference or a certain percentage of the difference You can also request payment of the cost corresponding to the difference to other offline stores or to the offline store management department.

The settlement processing unit 250, for example, pays all of the first payment costs received from the product buyer in the first offline store to the second offline store, and requests payment to the payee by the insufficient difference in the second offline store, or The offline store management unit that manages both the offline store and the second offline store may request payment for the insufficient difference.
