An online concierge system trains a machine learning conversion model that predicts a probability of receiving an order from a user when the user accesses the online concierge system. The conversion model predicts the probability of receiving the order based on a set of input features that include price and availability information. For each access to the online concierge system, the online concierge system applies the conversion model to a current price and availability and to an optimal price availability. The online concierge system generates a metric as the difference between the two predicted probabilities of receiving an order.

A system is provided that authenticates the identity and age of a user, that offers at least one age-restricted product for sale to the user, that enables the user to purchase the at least one product via a mobile application, that provides the at least one purchased product at a physical product locker at a location convenient to the user to travel to, that again authenticates the identity and age of the user at the physical location of the product locker prior to dispensing the product, and that, upon authentication of the user’s identity and age, releases the product to the user.

According to one aspect, the system provides an automated platform for managing R2R, that preserves vendor control over of the communication between retailers. For example, according to one embodiment of the system, only authorized retailers of specific vendors are able to list, request, buy, sell and swap products on the system. In further examples, the system controls execution so that exchanges can occur anonymously, while maintaining the assurances that transactions are facilitated by authorized parties at vendor-set prices. In yet other example, the system permits authorized retailers to list non-performing goods for authorized retailers to obtain by purchase or swap at wholesale cost. In yet other example, the system permits authorized retailers to request goods at wholesale cost and display the requests in a workflow that permits providers execute fulfillment.

A system and method for automating processing of restricted items that can include collecting, using a sensor-based monitoring system, sensor data of user interactions within an environment; processing the sensor data and thereby determining cart items for a virtual cart of a first user; determining a restricted item assertion regarding restricted items intended for purchase by user and presenting the assertion within a user interface of a client device; determining compliance between the restricted item assertion and the virtual cart; and performing digital checkout processing of cart items according to the compliance.

A computerized age-verification method, comprising: receiving an electronic request for verification of a user associated with a user device; opening a browser window in a browser running on the user device; attempting to open a URL listed on a directory of restricted URLs; responsive to receipt of a message denying opening of the URL, returning an indication that the user is not verified; and responsive to receipt of an indication that the URL opens, returning an indication that the user is verified.

A system for categorizing, visualizing, and recommending cannabis products based on objective data of the chemical composition of products is described. This system allows cannabis products to be visualized and compared based on their chemical composition, even by laypeople with little or no knowledge of the underlying objective data. A recommendation system is built upon this which can recommend products for consumption, including a user interface for receiving user input, which includes at least one of demographic data, desired level of psychoactivity, or prior experience with the product, a merchant interface for receiving merchant input, including at least one of general data descriptive of the regulated product, lab data descriptive of the regulated products chemical composition, and user data descriptive of subjective effects of the regulated product on a user; and a decision engine making a recommendation of product according to correlation of the lab data with the user data.

Among other things, a central server maintains information representative of requests communicated through the Internet from devices at request locations. Each of the requests represents a proposed reservation for services to be managed by devices at delivery locations.

A sales support method and. a sales support system which can reduce time and effort of a customer due to age verification when sales of age-restricted merchandise are performed. Age estimation information that is information obtained by estimating an age of a customer by using biometric information obtained by observing the customer is acquired, information that is input by the customer is acquired as age information of the customer in a case where the age estimation information is greater than or equal to a second predetermined age, and information based on a medium that the customer possesses is acquired as the age information of the customer in a case where the age estimation information is less than the second predetermined age, and whether the customer is older than or equal to a first predetermined age or under the first predetermined age is determined based on the age information of the customer and the determination result is notified.

A computer-implemented method for providing capability indicators includes establishing, by a processor of a computing system, a digital marketplace for digital goods, such as web applications and browser extensions. The method includes determining, by the processor, that a first digital good of the digital goods includes a specified set of modes, where the specified set of modes includes executing the first digital good without access to a network, and providing to a client device, by the processor, instructions to display a graphical indicator representing at least one of the specified set of modes, wherein the graphical indicator is associated with a graphical icon representing the first digital good in the digital marketplace.

Systems and methods for supporting regulatory requirements for the distribution of controlled and non-controlled items such as, for example, non-controlled prescriptions (Rx), medical devices, and controlled substances in countries such as the United States and Canada, are provided. The systems and methods incorporate a license verification module that is configured to perform license validation for a particular order placed for a controlled and/or non-controlled item. In certain embodiments, the license verification module compares order data to historically sorted data and if one or more discrepancies exist, validation is unsuccessful. The license verification module may further query a third party database for updated license information upon validation failure. The systems and methods further incorporate a suspicious order monitoring module that is configured to perform a plurality of checks on the order to identify the order as an “order of interest” that may be further investigated and deemed to be suspicious.
