SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PROVIDE A QUESTION SERIES
Systems and methods to provide a question series are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive and store in electronic storage questions, parameters, criteria to the parameters, and events from a user; generate, based on the parameters and the questions, a question series for presentation to individual ones of the consumers; effectuate presentation of a set of the questions of the question series via individual client computing platforms associated with the consumers; obtain responses to the set of the questions from the consumers; obtain indications of the occurrence of the events related to the individual consumers; adjust the ensuing questions for presentation of the question series based on the occurrence of the events and/or the responses; and effectuate presentation of a subsequent set of the questions of the question series via individual client computing platforms of the consumers based on the adjustment to the ensuing questions.
LIVE SHOPPING BROADCAST
System and methods for broadcasting and recording live shopping broadcasts. A broadcast stream from a presenter (e.g., influencer) is received and distributed to viewers (e.g., shoppers). Additionally, a start identifier for a product is received from the presenter during the broadcast stream, product details for the product are distributed to the viewers upon receipt of the start identifier for the product, and an end identifier for the product is received from the presenter during the broadcast stream. The broadcast stream is recorded, and portions of the broadcast stream are associated with the product corresponding to a time period between the start identifier and the end identifier to generate a product broadcast file (e.g., for display and presentation) along with the product in an online marketplace.
Method, medium and system for allocating a payment based on a free trial period
Disclosure includes selecting a merchant from a plurality of merchants, enabling a trial mode for the merchant, during the trial mode, receiving an indication of a first order for the merchant, forwarding the indication of the first order to the merchant, allocating a first payment for the first order to the merchant, requesting an acceptance of a membership status from the merchant, and receiving an indication of the payment for the first order.
Method and system for post-transaction rewards
A method for managing reward value related to a transaction account is described. The method includes receiving a redemption request; generating a reward cost based on at least a conversion rate and a transaction amount; updating a reward value in an account profile to place a hold on an amount of the reward value equivalent to the reward cost; and deducting a deduction amount from the reward value.
Market liquidity incentive systems and methods
A system and method determine rewards or other incentives for market participants submitting orders for financial instruments on a financial exchange. The system and method determine if orders submitted by one or more market participants are eligible for a reward or other incentive by identifying orders that are at a best bid or offer for a corresponding financial instrument. The system and method determine a number of eligible orders submitted by each of the one or more market participants and applies a reward or other incentive to a particular market participant with the most eligible orders or greatest aggregate size of eligible orders.
Computer-based systems and/or computing devices configured for implementing browser extensions that provide contextually relevant information to a user via a graphical user interface
An example method includes identifying, using a browser extension, content of a first webpage of a first website being displayed using a browser. The identifying of the content includes determining a product related to the content of the first webpage and determining that the product has been added to an electronic shopping cart. The method further includes determining a merchant that offers the product for sale and determining, based on a user account associated with the browser extension, a customer reward offered by the merchant and available to the user account. The method further includes determining that the browser has navigated away from the first webpage to a second webpage of a second website. The method further includes modifying the browser to display a graphical user interface element including information about the customer reward and a link configured to navigate the browser back to the first website.
EFFICIENT AND SECURE COMMUNICATION USING WIRELESS SERVICE IDENTIFIERS
Systems and methods are provided for reducing communications between servers and a mobile device and providing enhanced security and privacy to wireless beacon services. This can involve a broadcast device transmitting a beacon transmission using a short range wireless radio, such a Bluetooth or WiFi, and including a MAC address, a first unique identifier, and a beacon service identifier. The mobile device then selects one or more unique identifiers from received beacon transmissions, by filtering (that is, selecting) those beacon transmissions which include the beacon service identifier. The wireless device then takes further action, if the first unique identifier is present among the selected one or more unique identifiers, using stored information from the server. The stored information may be delivered to the wireless device in response to the wireless device sending the first unique identifier to a server, or the stored information may have been previously downloaded.
Passive user-generated coupon submission
Successful application of a coupon code on an e-commerce website is detected via network request tracking and page data tracking. Upon coupon application, the coupon code is stored, for example in a server-based database. The coupon code is then automatically applied to subsequent e-commerce purchases whose parameters match the requirements for the coupon. The coupon can be automatically applied to purchases made by the same user and/or other users, as applicable.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OUTPUTTING INFORMATION
A method and device for outputting information are provided. The method includes: in response to receiving an item addition request sent by a user, acquiring a base item; acquiring a candidate item set; acquiring associated items of the base item to form an associated item set; and acquiring an initial item combination, and selecting an item from the candidate item set and adding same to the initial item combination, obtaining a first item combination; and based on the first item combination, deleting an item from the first item combination, obtaining an intermediate item combination ; selecting an item from the associated item set and adding same to the intermediate item combination, obtaining a second item combination; selecting a result item combination from the first item combination and the second item combination; and in response to the result item combination satisfying preset conditions, outputting the result item combination.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SERVER LOAD BALANCING
Methods and systems for balancing online stores across servers. Monitoring a level of customer activity associated with a particular online store in a plurality of online stores. Detecting, based on the level of customer activity, a demand-level condition for the particular online store. Responsive to the detecting of the demand-level condition for the particular online store, moving one or more of the plurality of online stores from a first server of a plurality of servers to a second server of the plurality of servers.
