A method for suspending transactions comprising: detecting, by a merchant scanning device, that a consumer device in proximity to a merchant location is registered to the merchant location; connecting the merchant scanning device over a first protocol to the consumer device and associating the consumer device to a user based on a user identifier received from the consumer device; receiving, through a scanner of the merchant scanning device, transaction information for a transaction comprising at least one item selected for purchase by the user of the consumer device at the merchant location; associating, by a scanning application in the merchant scanning device, the transaction information for the transaction of the at least one item selected for purchase, with the user identifier associated with the user; receiving, by an input at a scanning application in the merchant scanning device, a request to suspend the transaction at the merchant location and suspending the transaction in response to the request; storing, by the merchant scanning device, the transaction information for the suspended transaction with the user identifier for the user based on the request; determining, based on a communication received from the consumer device, that the user is ready to checkout for the transaction at the merchant location; connecting, the merchant scanning device over a second protocol to a merchant point of service device for resuming the transaction, resuming the transaction including retrieving the transaction information based on the user identifier; and communicating the transaction information to the merchant point of service device at the merchant location for processing of the transaction.
