Abstract:
Systems and methods for facilitating WiFi transactions are provided. A consumer device logs in to a merchant's WiFi network and a tab for the consumer is opened up with the merchant. The merchant adds items ordered by the consumer to the tab until the consumer decides to close the tab. The consumer can close the tab by logging off the merchant's WiFi network, pressing a button on a mobile device indicating that he or she wants to settle the tab, or specifying that the tab should be closed after a certain amount of time.
