Abstract
A method for transaction handoff includes: registering a payment instrument with a server, associating the payment instrument with indirect tokens, and storing a payment token that associates the indirect tokens with the payment instrument and a device identifier in a database record; via a device, receiving an indirect token from the server; via a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, entering the indirect token, and transmitting indirect token via the internet cloud to the server; via the server, using the payment token to access the device identifier and transmitting a push notification; upon acceptance of the push notification, executing an application on the device and simultaneously displaying transaction details on both the device and POS terminal; receiving completion data that is entered via the device and transmitting the completion data to the server; and completing the transaction at the server and notifying the POS terminal and the device that the transaction is complete.
