Methods and device for touchless payment processing

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a server, an Internet Protocol (IP) address from a touchless payment status device to register the touchless payment status device as a frictionless payment status device;
• generating, by the server, a code comprising a link to the server and the IP address;
• sending, by the server, the code to the touchless payment device;
• maintaining, by the server, a transaction for items of a customer in a virtual cart;
• obtaining, by the server, a second code comprising a portion of the code and received from a mobile device linked to a customer;
• associating, by the server, the touchless payment device to the virtual cart based on the second code;
• and
• sending, by the server, payment messages to the touchless payment device for displaying to the customer on a display associated with the touchless payment device using the IP address and items of the virtual cart based on interactions received from the customer through the mobile device.

A system, comprising:

• at least one server comprising at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprises executable instructions;
• and
• the executable instructions executed by the at least one processor from the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium causing the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• registering a touchless payment status device for touchless payment transactions performed on mobile devices of customers without touching the touchless payment status device;
• decoding a code received from a particular mobile device that was captured by the particular mobile device off a display of the touchless payment status device and identifying the touchless payment status device and the particular mobile device;
• linking a virtual cart associated with a particular touchless payment transaction of a particular customer to the touchless payment status device based on device identifier associated with the particular mobile device;
• sending a payment in progress message to the touchless payment status device to present on the display;
• sending finalized totals for items of the virtual cart to a user-facing interface of the particular mobile device;
• interacting with the particular customer through the user-facing interface of the particular mobile device to obtain payment details for a payment of the particular customer for the particular touchless payment transaction;
• processing the payment details with a payment service and confirming the payment was received;
• sending a payment completed message to the touchless payment status device to present on the display and to cause the touchless payment status device to illuminate a light a certain color or play a distinctive audible sound on the touchless payment status device;
• and
• sending a transaction receipt for the particular touchless payment transaction to the user-facing interface of the mobile device for viewing by the particular customer.
