MOBILE MERCHANT CHECK-IN AT A USER'S HOME LOCATION
There are provided systems and methods for mobile merchant check-in at a user's home location. A user may set up a wireless beacon at a location of the user, such as a home location. The wireless beacon may provide check-in services to a mobile merchant arriving at the location, such a delivery person for items or services. The mobile merchant may be checked-in through a device and may push a payment total to the user's device. Therefore, the user's device may populate the payment amount for delivery of the items or services. The user may utilize their device to generate a payment request by provide a payment instrument for the payment amount. Additionally, the user may complete the payment request over a network connection with the wireless beacon. Thus, the user does not need to be at the home location when providing payment to the mobile merchant.
1 . A system comprising:
a non-transitory memory storing check-in information for a mobile merchant; and
one or more hardware processors in communication with the non-transitory memory and configured to:
receive the check-in information for the mobile merchant when a merchant device of the mobile merchant connects to a wireless beacon at a location corresponding to a first user;
process a check-in for the mobile merchant using the check-in information, wherein the check-in associates the mobile merchant with the location corresponding to the first user;
receive a payment request comprising a payment amount to the mobile merchant, wherein the merchant device pushes the payment amount to a user device of the first user through the wireless beacon; and
provide the payment amount to the mobile merchant from the first user.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the merchant device and the wireless beacon connect using one of near field communication, radio communication, infrared communication, Bluetooth communication, Bluetooth low energy communication, LTE Direct communication, and WiFi communication.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the location corresponding to the first user comprises a home location for the first user, and wherein the mobile merchant comprises a delivery person for a merchant.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the wireless beacon is range limited to connect to the merchant device within a set distance outside the home location.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the first user adjusts the set distance.
6 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first user is not at the home location, and wherein the wireless beacon alerts the first user of an arrival of the mobile merchant over a network connection.
7 . The system of claim 1 ; wherein the payment request further comprises a tip amount to the mobile merchant, and wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured to:
provide the tip amount to the mobile merchant from the first user.
8 . A method comprising:
receiving check-in information for a mobile merchant when a merchant device of the mobile merchant connects to a wireless beacon at a location corresponding to a first user;
associating the mobile merchant with the location corresponding to the first user using the check-in information;
receiving a payment request comprising a payment amount to the mobile merchant, wherein the merchant device pushes the payment amount to a user device of the first user through the wireless beacon; and
processing the payment request to the mobile merchant from the first user.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the location corresponding to the first user comprises a home location for the first user, and wherein the mobile merchant comprises a delivery person for a merchant.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the first user is not at the home location, and wherein the wireless beacon alerts the first user of an arrival of the mobile merchant over a network connection.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first user alerts a second user at the home location of the arrival of the mobile merchant using the user device.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the first user alerts the second user by providing an identifier of the second user, and wherein the method further comprises:
transmitting a notification to the second user corresponding to the arrival of the mobile merchant at the home location.
13 . The method of claim 8 further comprising:
notifying the mobile merchant of the completing the payment request.
14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the payment request further comprises a tip amount to the mobile merchant.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the first user enters the tip amount to the user device prior to the user device transmitting the payment request.
16 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, in response to execution by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:
receiving check-in information for a mobile merchant when a merchant device of the mobile merchant transmits a payment amount to a wireless beacon at a location corresponding to a first user;
associating the mobile merchant with the location corresponding to the first user using the check-in information;
receiving a payment request comprising the payment amount to the mobile merchant from a user device of the first user after the user device receives the payment amount from the wireless beacon; and
processing the payment request to the mobile merchant from the first user.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the location corresponding to the first user comprises a home location for the first user, and wherein the mobile merchant comprises a delivery person for a merchant.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the payment request further comprises a tip amount to the mobile merchant.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving delivery instructions from the first user; and
providing the delivery instructions to the mobile merchant through the merchant device.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the check-in information for the mobile merchant is received without input by the mobile merchant, and wherein the merchant device automatically transmits the payment amount to the wireless beacon.
