Facilitating online to offline commerce

This invention describes a system where a customer can use their phone to check into a store while they are shopping. The system verifies their location and can then automatically post their check-in to a social network. It can also show the customer their current shopping cart details, like items and prices, on their phone in real-time.

Why it matters: While the core technologies existed, the widespread adoption of cloud-native, API-first point-of-sale systems since 2020 could significantly simplify real-time data integration. This makes accessing and displaying pre-sale transaction data from diverse merchants more feasible now.
