Abstract

A method of downloading an electronic product to a pin-pad terminal involves the pin-pad terminal transmitting to a network gateway a transaction proposal for an electronic product from a network device, and receiving from the network gateway a transaction proposal response generated by the network gateway in response to the transaction proposal. The transaction proposal response includes a transaction pointer associated with the electronic product. The pin-pad terminal electronically directly transmits to an electronic cash register coupled to the pin-pad terminal an indication of a payment amount for the electronic product. The pin-pad terminal receives from the electronic cash register confirmation of entry of the electronic product in an electronic shopping basket maintained by the electronic cash register, and transmits the transaction pointer to the network device via the network gateway. The pin-pad terminal receives the electronic product from the network device via the network gateway.
