Abstract
According to an embodiment, a data processing system processes a bifurcated transaction for items available at a brick-and-mortar store. The bifurcated transaction is initiated when a consumer orders a set of non-perishable items electronically, e.g., using an app, website etc. At the brick-and-mortar store, the consumer picks up a shopping cart with the order of the set of non-perishable items and then peruses and adds perishable items to the shopping cart. In one embodiment, a single unique machine-readable label (e.g., a barcode) identifies the set of the non-perishable items. At checkout, the transaction is completed by scanning respective machine-readable labels (e.g., barcodes) on the perishable items and the single unique machine-readable label that identifies the set of the non-perishable items.
