    Abstract: A merchant point-of-sale (“POS”) system architecture is provided. Systems and methods are provided for enabling an alternative processing network for a custom rewards transaction performed at a POS. A custom rewards transaction may be a transaction in which a customer opts-in to a merchant-funded rewards (MFR) program. Opting-in to the MFR program may terminate the customer's default enrollment in a conventional issuer-bank funded rewards program. Opting-in to the MFR program may also reroute the processing of the transaction from a conventional processing network to the alternative processing network. The alternative processing network may incur transaction fees to a merchant that are lower than the transaction fees of the conventional processing network.

    Abstract: In response to detecting imposition of an erroneous surcharge, a point-of-sale (“POS”) terminal used to impose that surcharge may be disabled. A remote server may be programmed to power down the POS terminal. For example, in response to detecting a surcharge violation, a remote server may transmit a disable signal to the POS terminal that triggered the surcharge violation. The disable signal may power down the POS terminal. The remote server may be programmed to power up a POS terminal or otherwise bring the POS terminal back online. A payment instrument that includes a chip may programmed such that when the chip is inserted into the POS terminal or an associated card reader, it triggers a disabling of the POS terminal. Servers that process transactions may be programmed to ignore or reject transactions received from a POS terminal that triggers a surcharge violation.
