Abstract
Techniques for suggesting products for purchase from a retail establishment using a mobile device allow a user to receive, on the user'"'"'s mobile device, product suggestions and offers that are relevant to one or more products that the user has already scanned for purchase in the retail establishment, that are relevant to the user'"'"'s shopping history, and/or that are relevant to the user'"'"'s current location within the retail establishment as measured via the mobile device. While the mobile device is used to scan products into an electronic shopping cart, the server may analyze the current contents of the cart to generate a suggestion or offer for a product which the user may be likely to decide to purchase. If the user accepts the product suggestion, the purchase facilitating server may transact the user'"'"'s purchase of the suggested product via the mobile device while the user is within the retail establishment.
