1. A method for verifying a store, the method to be executed by a device for verifying the store, the device comprising a processor and an interface circuitry, and the method comprising:
acquiring, by the processor, inputted store information of a first store, the store information comprising a store name and a store address;
interfacing, by the processor via the interface circuitry, with an electronic map to search for, based on the store name and the store address of the first store, a first target store name in a first target area in the electronic map, wherein the first target store name is a store name in the first target area for which similarity to the store name of the first store satisfies a first preset condition;
accessing, by the processor, a preset real store address database and interfacing with the electronic map to search for, based on the store address of the first store, the preset real store address database, and the store name of the first store, a second target store name in a second target area in the electronic map, wherein the second target store name is a store name in the second target area for which similarity to the store name of the first store satisfies a second preset condition, and the real store address database comprises store addresses of real stores; and
verifying, by the processor, that the first store is a real store allowed to accept electronic payment, under a condition that the first target store name or the second target store name exists,
wherein interfacing, by the processor, with the electronic map to search for, based on the store name and the store address of the first store, the first target store name in the first target area in the electronic map comprises:
calling an interface of the electronic map for searching for Point of Interest (POI) function so as to convert the store address of the first store into a first geographical location by using the electronic map;
calculating similarities between the store name of the first store and store names of stores in a first area where the first geographical location is located in the electronic map, the first target area comprising the first area; and
searching for the first target store name according to the similarities between the store name of the first store and the store names of the stores in the first area and the first preset condition.
