You have to be a merchant to receive any transactions.

If you manage to get a merchant account (mule, homeless credentials) you dont need additional technologically advanced/complicated exploits involving getting physically close to people. You just open internet shop, list highend multimedia equipment(TV, consoles, laptops, phones) at 30% off prices and spam FB/coupon/deal sites.
