• indicating, with the register, one or more enhancements available for the one or more products;
• receiving, with the register, indication of one or more selected enhancements from a customer;
• generating one or more product enhancement authorization tokens (one or more PEA tokens) for the one or more selected enhancements;
• validating, with contactless POS terminal, the one or more PEA tokens;
• detecting, with contactless POS terminal, the one or more RFID tags when the package has a correct placement with regards to the contactless POS terminal;
• associating, with the contactless POS terminal, each of the RFID tags with one of the one or more products and with a different one of a plurality of antennas, wherein the plurality of antennas are part of the contactless POS terminal;
• executing, with the contactless POS terminal, the one or more enhancements of the one or more products via the plurality of antennas and one or more RFID tags;
• generating, with the contactless POS terminal, an audit record of the one or more enhancements of the one or more products;
• and
