Selectively providing cash-based e-commerce transactions

A system comprising:

• one or more processors configured interact with a non-transitory computer-readable medium in order to execute code and perform operations comprising:
• receiving, over a communication network during a first data communication session from a vendor computing device, a transaction notification representing that a purchaser is purchasing an item via an e-commerce transaction and a future payment for the item is to be made anonymously and in cash at an automated teller machine, wherein the transaction notification includes a transaction price for the item and contact information associated with the purchaser;
• generating a unique identifier that corresponds to the transaction notification;
• calculating an adjusted transaction price as a function of a rounding algorithm that rounds the transaction price up by an amount to arrive at a whole value above the transaction price;
• transmitting, using the contact information, the unique identifier and the adjusted transaction price to a computing device associated with the purchaser;
• receiving, over a communication network during a second data communication session directly or indirectly from an automated teller machine, input information that includes the unique identifier;
• determining that the input information is received within a specified timeframe;
• transmitting, over a communication network directly or indirectly to the automated teller machine, an acknowledgement notification, wherein the notification causes the automated teller machine to elicit, via a graphical user interface, cash receipt of payment of the adjusted transaction price at the automated teller machine;
• receiving, over a communication network during a third data communication session directly or indirectly from the automated teller machine, payment information representing that cash payment of the adjusted transaction price has been received at the automated teller machine;
• and
• providing, over a communication network to the vendor computing device, a confirmation of cash receipt of the adjusted transaction price at the automated teller machine for facilitating completion of the ecommerce sale.

A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by one or more data processing apparatus cause the one or more data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, over a communication network during a first data communication session from a vendor computing device, a transaction notification representing that a purchaser is purchasing an item via an e-commerce transaction and a future payment for the item is to be made anonymously and in cash at an automated teller machine, wherein the transaction notification includes a transaction price for the item and contact information associated with the purchaser;
• generating a unique identifier that corresponds to the transaction notification;
• calculating an adjusted transaction price as a function of a rounding algorithm that rounds the transaction price up by an amount to arrive at a whole value above the transaction price;
• transmitting the unique identifier and the adjusted transaction price to a computing device, using the contact information associated with the purchaser;
• receiving, over a communication network during a second data communication session directly or indirectly from an automated teller machine, input information that includes the unique identifier;
• determining that the input information is received within a specified timeframe;
• transmitting, over a communication network directly or indirectly to the automated teller machine, an acknowledgement notification, wherein the notification causes the automated teller machine to elicit, via a graphical user interface, cash receipt of payment of the adjusted transaction price at the automated teller machine;
• after the cash payment is received at the automated teller machine, receiving, over a communication network during a third data communication session directly or indirectly from the automated teller machine, payment information representing that cash payment of the adjusted transaction price has been received at the automated teller machine;
• and
• providing, over a communication network to the vendor computing device, a confirmation of cash receipt of the adjusted transaction price at the automated teller machine for facilitating completion of the ecommerce sale.
