Summary:: How to form an automatic billing system through Bluetooth and mobile phones?

For commercial purposes, how can my system automatically signal, calculate the billing value and actually perform the billing or transfer the transaction from a credit or debit card or a bank account?

[Note -- thread moved from the technical forums, so no Homework Template is shown]

Is this question for homework? If you are serious about actually doing this, there are a number of commercially available (secure) systems. Have you tried doing a Google search for them?

It's for a project. Yes, I did a search but did not get the procedure of an automatic bill payment (without the need of scanning a QR code, for example).
 
Current EV charging stations use credit cards, Apple Pay, etc. That is not sufficient?

(I'll move this thread to the schoolwork forums for you -- all schoolwork-type questions go in the Homework Help forums)

Apple pay does the job, but it's preferable to choose a way/application that works for many systems not only the Apple.

What do you mean by automatic? Do you mean that a machine reaches into your bank account and just takes your money without your knowledge or explicit approval? I don't like that idea, and neither should you.

What are your thoughts on features of such a system that allow the transactions you want while preventing theft?

Kind of like all of the various allowed payment options, shown on stickers at gas pumps...?
