A collection apparatus for organizing paper-based transaction items collected at a store checkout comprises a housing including a front section, rear section, left side, right side, top region, and bottom region; and an interior of the housing that is constructed and arranged into three regions. Each region includes a cavity; a removable container positioned in each cavity; three slot-shaped openings in the front section. Each slot-shaped opening is aligned with an opening in a removable container for providing a path for the paper-based transaction items to the removable container. A sensor in each cavity or container senses the paper-based transaction items received via a slot-shaped opening into the container.

A straightforward cash dispenser includes a body unit having a body and a cash box mounted on top of the body. The body includes a front side having an exit slot. A bill conveying device is mounted in the body. A bill counting device is mounted inside the body and adjacent to an inner side of the body. The bill counting device is configured to convey a bill inside the body into the bill conveying device in a widthwise direction of the bill and in a lateral direction of the body. The bill conveying device is configured to output the bill via the exit slot in a lengthwise direction of the bill.

Disclosed are method and apparatus that enable a cardless payment transaction to be executed from a merchant point-of-sale (POS) system. A user is enabled to check in at a merchant by using a mobile device of the user and then to pay by simply appearing at the merchant and mentioning his name. By emulating card read events and intercepting receipt printer outputs, the technique cleanly integrates into a conventional merchant POS system, without the need for customized software or hardware to accommodate individual POS vendor-proprietary application programming interfaces (APIs).

Providing an open data marketplace may include identifying one or more data attributes from a plurality of applications registered with a shared data management system; mapping said one or more data attributes to a data model to create a first set of mapped data; augmenting said first set of mapped data with additional data imported into the shared data management system from other data locations to create an augmented set of mapped data; receiving one or more of second set of mapped data from one or more shared data management system associated respectively with one or more shared data management networks; enabling of composing a data set by combining and cleansing one or more of said first set of mapped data, said second set of mapped data, and said augmented set of mapped data; and offering said composed data set in a digital marketplace with associated pricing characteristics.
