An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment receives electronic receipt information corresponding to each purchase made by a customer in one or more stores in a group during a predetermined period. The electronic receipt information includes a tax-free classification code for each sales object included in the electronic receipt information. The apparatus receives passport information of the customer. The apparatus determines, based on the tax-free classification code and the passport information, tax-exempt objects purchased in the stores in the group during the predetermined period. The apparatus determines, based on the determined tax-exempt objects, an amount of a tax refund, and provides the determined tax refund to the customer. The apparatus transmits tax refund information indicating the tax refund paid relative to the objects determined to be tax exempt.

An aspect of present disclosure facilitates consumer controlled sharing of details of retail transactions. In one embodiment, a server receives a unique code for a retail transaction performed by a user (e.g. consumer), and then retrieves, based on the unique code, details of the retail transaction (including a set of items purchased as part of the retail transaction). The server then stores the details of the retail transaction associated with the user in a non-volatile storage. The server also enables the user to share the details of the transaction (or the information about an item purchased as part of the retail transaction) with third parties such as producers/manufacturers, wholesalers, etc. Accordingly, a user/consumer is provided enhanced control in the sharing of details of their retail transactions.

A computer-implemented method, computer program, and system for modifying the start time or the end time for an existing reservation of a good or service are provided.

According to an embodiment, a system for dynamically generating user interfaces for electronic receipts is disclosed. An electronic receipt management server receives and stores a first electronic receipt generated for a transaction made by a customer at a physical store, a customer identifier, and first additional information unique to the physical store. The server receives and stores a second electronic receipt for a transaction made by the customer at an online store, the customer identifier, and second additional information unique to the online store. The server transmits the first and second electronic receipts, the customer identifier, and the first and second additional information, in response to an inquiry containing the customer code. A client device displays a first graphical user interface including a first selectable object to view an image of the first electronic receipt and a second selectable object to view an image of the second electronic receipt.

A sales data processing system includes a wireless communication interface and a controller. The wireless communication interface is configured to receive customer preference information from a customer terminal. The customer preference information includes a processing condition associated with a customer preference. The controller is configured to determine whether the processing condition associated with the customer preference is satisfied and control a display to display a screen indicating the customer preference upon determining that the processing condition has been satisfied.

There are provided systems and methods for dynamically linking machine-readable codes to digital accounts for loading of application data. A user may engage in a transaction with another user, such as a purchase of goods, services, or other items a merchant using a physical payment card. A machine-readable code may be provided on the payment card, where the machine-readable code may be dynamically linked to underlying data with an online transaction processor. The user may provide the payment card to another user that may capture the machine-readable code on the payment card. The other user's device may then utilize the machine-readable code with the online transaction processor to perform an account lookup using database information dynamically linked to the machine-readable code. Thereafter, the other user's device may automatically load account data for the account without having the user enter the account's identifier.

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus related to making payments in response to payment requests. For example, a customer device can receive a payment request including billing information and information related to an encryption key. The customer device can obtain the billing information and the information related to the encryption key from the payment request. The customer device can receive an input related to initiating payment of the payment request. After receiving the input related to initiating payment, the customer device can generate a request to initiate payment that includes the information related to the encryption key. The customer device can send the request to initiate payment.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for transaction auditing. One example method includes receiving receipt data associated with an entity. Policy questions associated with the entity are associated with at least one policy question answer that corresponds to a conformance or a violation of a policy selected by the entity. For each policy question, a machine learning policy model is identified for the policy question that includes, for each policy question answer, receipt data features that correspond to the policy question answer. The machine learning policy model is used to automatically determine a selected policy question answer to the policy question by comparing features of extracted tokens to respective receipt data features of the policy question answers that are included in the machine learning policy model. In response to determining that the selected policy question answer corresponds to a policy violation, an audit alert is generated.

A method for archiving data relative to a user equipped with an electronic apparatus and having a user account on a server including a database, the method including: transmitting the data relative to the user from an electronic device to the server; storing the data relative to the user in a first container of the database of the server; generating, by the server, a temporary reference associated with the first container of the database; transmitting the temporary reference from the server to the electronic apparatus; accessing the data relative to the user from the electronic apparatus, a connection between the electronic apparatus and the server having been established previously.

A centralized service or operating system to create receipts, store receipts, access receipts and provide additional services based on receipts is disclosed.
