Targeted real-time offers leveraging serialized qr codes

A computer-implemented method for providing post-purchase promotional offers, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a server system, a notification in response to a client device performing a scan of a QR code associated with a product, wherein the notification indicates that a consumer has purchased the product at a store and is requesting a promotional offer;
• and
• activating, at the server system, a redemption process in response to receiving the notification, the redemption process comprising:
• determining, by the server system, that the scan was performed when the client device was outside of a physical boundary associated with the store after a threshold period of time had passed since the purchase, wherein the client device comprises a satellite navigation receiver, wherein a location of the client device during the scan is determined using at least one of the satellite navigation receiver and a global positioning system, an IP address, or triangulation, and wherein determining that the client device was outside of the physical boundary comprises determining a distance between the client device and at least one of the physical boundary or a center of the store;
• determining, by the server system, that a number of redemption requests from the store is below a threshold value;
• and
• sending, from the server system to the client device, in response to (i) the determination that the scan was performed when the client device was outside of the physical boundary after the threshold period of time and (ii) the determination that the number of redemption requests from the store is below the threshold value, a notification indicating that the consumer received the promotional offer.

A system for providing post-purchase promotional offers, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive a notification in response to a client device performing a scan of a QR code associated with a product sold at a store, wherein the notification indicates that a consumer has purchased the product at the store and is requesting a promotional offer;
• and
• activate a redemption process in response to receiving the notification, the redemption process causing the at least one processor to:
• determine that the scan was performed when the client device was outside of a physical boundary associated with the store after a threshold period of time had passed since the purchase, wherein the client device comprises a satellite navigation receiver, wherein a location of the client device during the scan is determined using at least one of the satellite navigation receiver, a global positioning system, an IP address, or triangulation, and wherein determining that the client device was outside of the physical boundary comprises determining a distance between the client device and at least one of the physical boundary or a center of the store;
• determine that a number of redemption requests from the store is below a threshold value;
• and
• send, to the client device, in response to (i) the determination that the scan was performed when the client device was outside of the physical boundary after the threshold period of time and (ii) the determination that the number of redemption requests from the store is below the threshold value, a notification indicating that the consumer received the promotional offer.
