Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating electronic receipts (e-receipts) at point-of-sale (POS) terminals associated with a merchant at a retail location. The systems and methods include a near field communication (NFC) reader and an NFC-enabled payment vehicle. A POS terminal processes a payment transaction after an initial interaction between the NFC reader and the NFC-enabled payment vehicle. An e-receipt is generated when a second interaction is detected between the NFC reader and the NFC-enabled payment vehicle.

Claims (58)

1. A computer-implemented method of managing electronic payment transactions at a merchant location, the method comprising:

initiating, by a point-of-sale (POS) terminal associated with a merchant, a check-out procedure for a consumer to complete a payment transaction;

prompting, by the POS terminal, the consumer to present a payment vehicle and interact with the POS terminal for completing the payment transaction;

receiving, by the POS terminal, one or more indications that a near field communication (NFC)-enabled payment vehicle interacted with the POS terminal;

receiving, by the POS terminal, customer data from the NFC-enabled payment vehicle;

processing, by the POS terminal, the payment transaction with the received customer data;

generating, by the POS terminal, an e-receipt comprising one or more customizable features; and

transmitting, by the POS terminal, the e-receipt to the NFC-enabled payment vehicle for display on the NFC-enabled payment vehicle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting, by the POS terminal, the e-receipt to the NFC-enabled payment vehicle comprises transmitting, by the POS terminal, the e-receipt to be stored in a mobile wallet of the NFC-enabled payment vehicle; and

wherein the displayed e-receipt comprises selection areas for the consumer to enable the one or more customizable features.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more customizable features include at least one of: a ranking feature, a consumer incentive feature, an interactive coupon, or a loyalty reward.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an indication that a selection area has been activated for the one or more customizable features; and

displaying the one or more customizable features associated with the selected selection area.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the selection area allows a user to enable or disable the one or more customizable features.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

upon the POS terminal receiving an indication that the payment transaction is approved, prompting, by the POS terminal, a payment transaction result to the consumer by signaling via a display area of the POS terminal and/or via a display area of the NFC-enabled payment vehicle,

wherein prompting, by the POS terminal, the payment transaction result to the consumer further comprises prompting, by the POS terminal, an interaction between the NFC-enabled payment vehicle and an NFC reader to generate the e-receipt for finalizing the payment transaction.
