Point of sale payment system

Abstract

A method for point of sale payments includes receiving, from a seller device over a network, payment information. The payment information is associated with payment code information in a database. The payment code information is then sent to the seller device over the network for posting at a service location. The payment code information is then captured by a payer device at the service location and transmitted over the network. The payment information is then retrieved from the database using the associated payment code information. The payment information is then sent to the payer device over the network. A payment confirmation is received from the payer device over the network and, in response, a payment from a payer account to a seller account is initiated and the payment information and an indication of the payment confirmation is sent to the seller device over the network.

What is claimed is:

         8 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 7 , wherein the location transaction GUI includes a payment modifier element, and wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving a payment modifier input via the payment modifier element in the location transaction GUI, wherein the payment modifier is provided for performing the transaction.   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the location transaction GUI includes a payment total element, and wherein the operations further comprise:
 calculating a transaction amount for the transaction using the payment modifier input; and   in response to the calculating, displaying the transaction amount using the payment total element.   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the payment modifier element is a time element, and wherein the payment modifier input is an amount of time the first location will be paid for. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 7 , wherein the location transaction GUI includes a payment confirmation element, and wherein the operations further comprise:
