An automated teller machine (ATM) (10) includes a display device (14), an
input device (16), a cash acceptor (22), and a cash dispenser (24). The
ATM also has access to a network, such as the Internet. The ATM enables a
user thereof to make online purchases of goods and to receive from the
user a cash payment for the purchase through a cash acceptor. The ATM
administrator pays the merchant who supplies the goods. An ATM may be
operative to also dispense purchased digital content and/or gift
certificates. Purchased goods may also be hand delivered to an indicated
address. The ATM may be further operative to charge a user fee for
transactions.
