1. A point-of-sale system for facilitating transactions comprising:

  • a payment server configured to access a promotion database storing at least consumer data;

    a consumer device comprising;

    a consumer device display;

    a consumer device processor and consumer device executable code stored in a non-volatile consumer device memory, such that when the consumer device executable code is executed the consumer device processor is configured to;

    display promotion data on the consumer device display;

    transmit wallet identifying data;

    transmit the wallet identifying data to a merchant device;

    a consumer facing device, wherein the consumer facing device, the merchant device and the consumer device are each different devices, the consumer facing device comprising;

    a consumer facing display;

    a promotion instrument reader device;

    a consumer facing device processor and consumer facing device executable code stored in a non-volatile consumer device memory, such that when the consumer facing device executable code is executed the consumer facing device processor is configured to;

    receive, from the merchant device, consumer data associated with a consumer account that is associated with the wallet identifying data, the consumer data containing information indicating at least one of consumer purchase histories and consumer-provided ratings;

    provide a consumer facing interface to the consumer facing display;

    provided an interactive scan button to the consumer facing interface;

    generate, in response to a selection of the interactive scan button on the consumer facing interface, a first consumer input by capturing the promotion data displayed on the consumer device display using the promotion instrument reader device;

    receive consumer inputs via at least a touchscreen, a camera, and a card reader; and

    select impressions indicating one or more promotions are available for purchase or acceptance by the consumer for display on the consumer facing interface based on the consumer data;

    display the selected impressions on the consumer facing interface;

    establish a personal area network connection with the merchant device;

    transmit, via the personal area network connection, the first consumer input to the merchant device;

    receive, via the personal area network connection, a total transaction value from the merchant device;

    receive, in response to receiving the total transaction value, a payment input associated with a user account;

    transmit, via the personal area network connection, the payment input to the merchant device; and

    the merchant device comprising;

    a merchant facing display; and

    a merchant device processor and merchant device executable code stored in a nonvolatile merchant device memory, such that when the merchant device executable code is executed the merchant device processor is configured to;

    receive, the wallet identifying data from the consumer device;

    provide a merchant facing interface to the merchant facing display;

    receive the first consumer input from the consumer facing device via the personal area network connection;

    receive merchant inputs via the merchant facing interface;

    establish a wide area network connection with the payment server;

    transmit, to the payment server via the wide area network connection and in response to receiving the wallet identifying data, the wallet identifying data;

    receive in exchange for the wallet identifying data, from the payment server, via the wide area network connection, the consumer data associated with a consumer account that is associated with the wallet identifying data;

    transmit, to the consumer facing device and in response to receiving the consumer data associated with the consumer account that is associated with the wallet identifying data, the consumer data associated with the consumer account that is associated with the wallet identifying data;

    determine, a total transaction value based on the first consumer input and the merchant inputs;

    transmit, via the local network connection, the total transaction value to the consumer facing device, and in response receive, from the consumer facing device, a second consumer input;

    facilitate a current transaction based on the total transaction value, the second consumer input and the consumer data.
