Abstract:
There are provided systems and methods for localized identifier broadcasts to alert users of available processes and retrieve online server data. A user may visit a merchant location and engage in a transaction to purchase items from a merchant at the merchant location. The merchant may wish to alert the user of various payment methods, include payments through a payment application of the user's device using a received identifier for retrieval of an online invoice with a service provider. The merchant may utilize a merchant device to broadcast a location awareness identifier to alert the user of availability of payment processes with the service provider. Additionally, once the online invoice is generated for a transaction, the merchant device may broad cast a payment terminal request identifier that allows the user to retrieve the online invoice using data associated with the identifier and a location for the merchant.
