The present invention proposes a method for facilitating automatic payment in a payment system which requires less interaction by both the credit card user and store clerks than current payment systems. The method comprises the steps of specifying at least one secure geographic location, where payments within a payment system are to be authorized, providing an identifier of a vehicle to the payment system, detecting a connection between a specific portable device and the vehicle, detecting a current geographic location of the portable device and/or the vehicle, comparing the current geographic location with the secure geographic location, authorizing the granting of payment requests received by the payment system and relating to the identifier of the vehicle if the current geographic location is within or associated with the secure geographic location and if the connection between the portable device and the vehicle continues to exist. |
