Original Abstract Submitted
A server apparatus receives item identification information scanned from a code attached to an item from a mobile terminal, and creates a list of items to be purchased. At a time of a checkout, the server apparatus determines whether or not an item requiring an age confirmation is included in the list of items to be purchased, and transmits an age confirmation screen to the mobile terminal when the item requiring the age confirmation is included. The server apparatus performs the age confirmation based on age confirmation information received from the mobile terminal. When the age is successfully confirmed, a credit payment using the mobile terminal becomes possible.
