In one non-limiting example, a system includes a first computing device configured to identify a second computing device using a wireless communication protocol in a store location. A first notification for the first computing device is activated based at least in part on an accessibility type. A user interface is displayed for receiving client data, and the client data includes a product entered by a user. An expected amount is determined for the product based at least in part on the client data and transmitted to the second computing device. A pending amount for the product is received from the second computing device. A second notification is activated for the first computing device prior to a completion of the purchase based at least in part on the pending amount and the expected amount. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system, comprising: a transceiver device;

activating, by the client device, a transceiver device of the client device to detect a second computing device at the store location using a wireless communication protocol of the transceiver device based at least in part on the client device being located within the geolocation boundary for the store location; generating, by the client device, a communication session with the computing device in the store location using the wireless communication protocol, the computing device executing a point of sale application; activating, by the client device, a first notification for the client device based at least in part on an accessibility type associated with the client device; displaying, by the client device, a user interface for receiving client data, the client data comprising a product entered by a user for a purchase; determining, by the client device, an expected amount for the product based at least in part on the client data entered; transmitting, by the client device, the expected amount to the computing device; receiving, by the client device, from the computing device a pending amount for the product, the pending amount being generated from the computing device entering the product for the purchase; and activating, by the client device, a second notification for the client device prior to a completion of the purchase based at least in part on the pending amount and the expected amount. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: determining, by the client device, that a difference between the pending amount and the expected amount exceeds a margin of error threshold; and wherein the second notification indicates that the pending amount exceeds the margin of error threshold. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein activating the first notification comprises activating a vibration from a haptic device of the client device or generating an audible sound from a speaker of the client device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the first notification comprises an approval feedback indicator for approving of the pending amount based at least in part on a difference between the pending amount and the expected amount. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the second notification comprises at least one of a first audible sound for approving the pending amount, a second audible sound for rejecting the pending amount, a first user interface element for approving the pending amount, or a second user interface element for rejecting the pending amount. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the accessibility type comprises at least one of: a first type for a hearing impairment, a second type for a vision impairment, or a third type for a learning impairment. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the second notification comprises an accept transaction component displayed in the user interface, and further comprising: receiving a selection of the accept transaction component from the user interface;
