Abstract

A system and method for payment is provided. According to the method for payment, a mobile terminal carried by a customer reads goods for purchase and calculates an amount due for the read goods. Accordingly, customers can save a waiting time for payment and merchants can reduce operating costs.

identifying, by the mobile terminal, coupons applicable for read goods from among stored coupons; and

after applying the identified coupons, calculating the amount due for read goods.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating, by the mobile terminal, an electronic shopping list in which goods for purchase are listed; and
