Description

Mobile field payment method and device {The device and method to pay by internet at the spot}

QR code, smartphone, POS

Most offline stores use POS, and nowadays, each store's homepage also allows payment via the Internet.

Of course, you pay through the Internet and deliver goods via courier, but sometimes you pay on-site even if you pay via the Internet like a cafe.

However, POS pays through VAN, but Internet payments through PG.

Therefore, it does not matter if you use a company that serves both VAN and PG, but if you use a company that only services VAN or PG, you need to manage payment separately because you pay through different companies.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for a customer to place an order within the store on the Internet and to pay through a payment system of an offline store such as a POS instead of an internet payment.

According to the present invention, the customer can move to the location where the POS is located for payment, but the shop also saves time for entering an order in the POS while maintaining the convenience of Internet ordering. It is convenient to use one payment system.

Most offline stores use POS, and nowadays, each store's homepage also allows payment via the Internet.

Of course, you pay through the Internet and deliver goods via courier, but sometimes you pay on-site even if you pay via the Internet like a cafe.

However, POS pays through VAN, but Internet payments through PG.

Therefore, it does not matter if you use a company that serves both VAN and PG, but if you use a company that only services VAN or PG, you need to manage payment separately because you pay through different companies.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for a customer to place an order within the store on the Internet and to pay through a payment system of an offline store such as a POS instead of an internet payment.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The homepage or dedicated app of each store may be used, or the integrated service homepage or app that provides services to multiple stores may be used.

First, I will explain the case of ordering from each store's homepage.

Step 1 First, the customer accesses the store's homepage with a smartphone in the store.

You can open a browser on your smartphone and enter the store's homepage address, but you can print a QR code that will take you to the store's homepage and store it in the store.

In step 2, the customer selects a menu from the store home page.

Step 3, the customer orders the selected menu.

In step 3-1, when the customer presses the order button, the homepage transmits the order history to the store server.

In step 3-2, the store server stores the order and issues the order number to the customer smartphone.

At this time, the order number can be easily identified and inputted by a simple number such as the order serial number of the date or a barcode or QR code can be shown.

Step 4, the store associate retrieves the order.

In step 4-1, the customer moves to a location with a payment device such as a POS and presents a smartphone screen to the store employee.

Or when a customer calls, a store associate can carry a portable terminal, such as a tablet, to reach the customer.

In step 4-2, the store associate enters a number on the customer's smartphone screen into the POS or scans a barcode or QR code with a scanner connected to the POS.

In step 4-3, the POS retrieves the order from the store server and displays the order history.

Step 5, Pay through POS as before.

In step 6, the store server shows whether the payment has been completed on the customer's smartphone and can be confirmed by the customer.

Instead of the homepage of each store, you can use an integrated service that provides services to multiple stores.

In this case, if you provide the integrated service to the POS, you can proceed according to the same procedure.

However, the integrated service is responsible for displaying and ordering menus over the Internet, and payment can be processed as follows.

The server of the integrated service is referred to as the central server.

In the above description, the customer should connect to the central server instead of accessing each store homepage.

Since the service is provided for many stores, the customer must first select a store. The customer can connect to the central server to search for and select the store. The store also provides a QR code containing the store information in the store. You can also select by scanning.

This can be done either on the homepage or as an app. Here, we will use the app as an example.

This can be done in one of two ways:

The first method is to send an order from a central server to each store POS system.

In step 1, when the customer launches the app, the app connects to a central server.

In step 2, the customer scans the store QR code using the app, and the central server recognizes the store and displays the menu of the store.

In step 3, the customer selects a menu of the store and orders it.

Step 4, the app sends the order to the store POS.

Step 5, the POS saves the order and issues the order number.

In step 6, the POS sends the order number to the central server.

Step 7, the central server shows the order number on the customer smartphone as shown in the above example.

Step 8, the customer presents the order number as shown in the example above.

In step 9, the store clerk enters the order number into the POS as shown in the example above, and clicks the search button.

In step 10, the POS searches for the order and displays the order history on the screen.

Step 11, Pay through POS as before.

The POS transmits whether the payment is completed to the central server, and the central server may show whether the payment is made to the customer smartphone.

Here's how each store's POS system retrieves orders from a central server.

First, each store logs in to the central server and stays logged in.

In step 1, when the customer launches the app, the app connects to a central server.

In step 2, the customer scans the store QR code using the app, and the central server recognizes the store and shows the menu of the store.

In step 3, the customer selects a menu of the store and orders it.

Step 4, the app sends the order to each central server.

In step 5, the central server stores the order and issues the order number.

Step 6, the central server shows the order number on the customer smartphone as shown in the above example.

Step 7, the customer presents the order number as shown in the above example.

In step 8, the store clerk enters the order number into the POS and clicks the search button as shown in the above example.

Step 9, POS sends the order number to the central server.

In step 10, the central server searches for the order and sends the order history to the POS.

Step 11, POS displays the order history.

Step 12, make payment through POS as before.

The POS transmits whether the payment is completed to the central server, and the central server may show whether the payment is made to the customer smartphone.

In step 7 or 8, the POS can store the order history in the POS, for example, to manage sales.

According to the present invention, the customer can move to the location where the POS is located for payment, but the shop also saves time for entering an order in the POS while maintaining the convenience of Internet ordering. It is convenient to use one payment system.

The above is only one embodiment of the present invention, and various modulations and modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.
