Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for facilitating in-store or near-store ordering and payment of goods and/or services through a single tap of a near field communication (NFC) device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system can include a smart poster locatable in an area that is accessible to a potential consumer of goods or services. The system can further include a mechanism in or on the smart poster for directing the NFC enabled device to access a portion of a merchant ordering and payment system specific to the good or service advertised by the smart poster. The system can further include a wallet application residing on the NFC enabled device that upon interfacing with the smart poster downloads, submits, and pays for an order of the good or service advertised by the smart poster via the single NFC tap.
