More Information
Summary:Method, system and computer program for receiving readable media for configuring a graphical user interface (GUI) of an electronic display device for enabling preauthorised payment of products or services using distributed processing. A customer may interact with a kiosk or terminal to identify themselves 101 and initiate the process for dynamically computing an active preauthorisation limit 103. Items may then be added to the customer's balance at various point of sale terminals or scanning locations within the facility 107. Total cost of the items is compared to the active preauthorisation limit 109. Once the customer has finished shopping, a GUI can present them with an authorisation screen showing their shopping balance and requesting authorization 111. The user can interact with the GUI to approve the total via the GUI without the need to produce their card or payment method at checkout 113. The preauthorised limit may be based on the users previous shopping history or a user chosen preset budget.
