Point of sale system and method for contactless payment
Abstract:
A point of sale [POS] system for contactless payment of products, including a payment processing unit for facilitating electronic payment of products based on payment-facilitating information received from a portable payment device, such as a contactless card is provided. The payment processing unit is connected to a plurality of antennas, each associated with a respective product and each configured to read payment-facilitating information from a portable payment device when the portable payment device is brought in the vicinity of the antenna. The payment processing unit is configured to, upon reading of payment-facilitating information by any of the antennas, receive the payment-facilitating information and identify a product to be paid for based on which of the plurality of antennas read the payment-facilitating information, and to facilitate a financial transaction comprising payment of the identified product using the payment-facilitating information.
