Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for point-of-sale customization service. A processor executing a point-of-sale customization service can receive a unique identifier associated with a user device detected in a proximity of a computing device. The processor can query preferences stored in a data store using the unique identifier and identify point-of-sale preferences associated with the user device based upon the querying. The processor can transmit the point-of-sale preferences to the computing device to apply to a transaction.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a computing device and via a point-of-sale module comprising a payment terminal, a user device in a proximity of the point-of-sale module;
- in response to detecting the user device, obtaining, by the computing device and via the point-of-sale module, a unique identifier associated with the user device;
- determining, by the computing device and based on input detected by the user device, that point-of sale preferences that are associated with the user device are to be used during a transaction;
- and
- transmitting, by the computing device, the unique identifier to a point-of-sale customization service to obtain the point-of-sale preferences, wherein the point-of-sale preferences define a payment account that is to be used by the point-of-sale module for a payment during the transaction.
A system comprising:
- a computing device comprising a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
- detecting, by the computing device and via a point-of-sale module comprising a payment terminal, a user device in a proximity of the point-of-sale module,
- in response to detecting the user device, obtaining, by the computing device and via the point-of-sale module, a unique identifier associated with the user device,
- determining, by the computing device and based on input detected by the user device, that point-of sale preferences that are associated with the user device are to be used during a transaction, and
- transmitting, by the computing device, the unique identifier to a point-of-sale customization service to obtain the point-of-sale preferences, wherein the point-of-sale preferences define a payment account that is to be used by the point-of-sale module for a payment during the transaction.
A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, by a computing device and via a point-of-sale module comprising a payment terminal, a user device in a proximity of the point-of-sale module;
- in response to detecting the user device, obtaining, by the computing device and via the point-of-sale module, a unique identifier associated with the user device;
- determining, by the computing device and based on input detected by the user device, that point-of sale preferences that are associated with the user device are to be used during a transaction;
- and
- transmitting, by the computing device, the unique identifier to a point-of-sale customization service to obtain the point-of-sale preferences, wherein the point-of-sale preferences define a payment account that is to be used by the point-of-sale module for a payment during the transaction.
