Abstract

A hybrid sales system that bridges a gap between the online world and physical stores includes at least one merchant network device, at least one central network device, at least one user interactive network device, and at least one identification system. The merchant network device, the central network device, the user interactive network device, and the identification system are interconnected by a network. The merchant network device contains information regarding physical stores and is programmed to communicate with the central network device. The central network device is programmed to receive from a registered user at the user interactive network device a user request relating to a transaction, to communicate with the merchant network device, and to provide to the registered user a summary response to the user request. The summary response includes a list of physical stores that satisfy the user request. The user interactive network device is programmed to communicate with the central network device. Lastly, the identification system notifies the central network device, the merchant network device, the user interactive network device, or any combination of the three devices, when the registered user completes a transaction at a physical store.
