A brick-and-mortar (BAM) store control system uses sensors and wireless transceivers to track customers, merchant representatives, devices, and / or objects within a BAM store area. The system can identify and track product and / or service inventory within the BAM store area and / or in individual's personal inventories, for instance by detecting movements of objects by individuals in sensor data. The system can generate inventory replenishment schedules, for instance based on inventory quantity patterns. The system can provide recommendations to customers and / or merchants, for example recommending products that customers have interacted with. The system can identify individuals and / or objects using a machine learning algorithm, which can learn based on feedback. The system can generate temporary identifiers for unrecognized individuals or objects, which it can merge or convert into long-term identifiers as more information is received. The system can recognize sensitive information based on secure identifiers generated based on the sensitive information.

A series of associated merchant websites or respective merchant websites each selling narrowly defined product categories to shoppers who browse to select products for placement into a shopping cart. While each website is operated and controlled by a different merchant or a single merchant, each website has access to a shared server farm where information about each shopper is stored. Also shared is a virtual e-commerce shopping cart that the shopper can use to check out at any of the merchant websites even though the virtual e-commerce shopping cart may contain products from multiple different merchant websites. Each merchant website is associated with metadata limited to the narrowly defined product category, thereby providing enhanced SEO benefits without the need to purchase ad words. Each boutique specifically targets a single category making the shopping and buying experience easier. Information gathered from shoppers at each unique boutique is stored at the server farm for being shared with other associated merchants in the collection of sites. A shopper's user account will transfer between sites and allow the data gathered to be used in a cross-promotional method and will ensure the shopper's experience is consistent with what they like and want in future visits. Moreover, a merchant incentivizes an account holder to make an authorized transaction by terms and agreement to auditably donate to the account holder's affinity entity. To incent desirable commerce with locals, the merchant's terms may limit its donation by a derivation of navigation time between account holder and merchant, and / or by date and time of the transaction. The account holder can direct the donation to one of more affinity entities within their own community, and / or within a community where the transaction was physically conducted. An account holder can also donate at the time of transaction where the donation is paid by the account's issuer for reimbursement as a debit to the account holder's account statement. Other payment system participants may donate (the merchant's acquirer, issuer, and transaction handler for the issuer and acquirer), by way of favorable interchange rates, can also make audible donations to account holder directed affinities entities.

Systems, methods, and computer readable media may facilitate buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) transactions at brick-and-mortar locations of merchants that otherwise lack an ability to interface with financial institutions (FIs) that finance BNPL transactions. Likewise, the system may be used to conduct BNPL transactions for merchants that lack an electronic commerce presence. For example, a payment network used to process payment cards such as credit cards may be leveraged to communicate with user devices, merchant point of sale (POS) terminals, and BNPL servers operated by FIs to mediate BNPL transactions. In particular, the payment network may receive, from merchants, a list of items that are eligible for BNPL transactions and installment offers from FIs to pay for BNPL transactions. The payment network may match eligible items with installment offers, select the best installment offers for the buyer, and mediate exchanges between the parties to settle payments for the BNPL transaction.
