Techniques are disclosed for improved linking of customers with suppliers in a software-as-a-service system based on community supplier information. The techniques include the system suggesting to customers holding customer accounts with the system that the customers establish customer-supplier links between private supplier records of the customers and supplier accounts of suppliers. Unconventionally, the system makes the suggestions based on matching private supplier records of the customers with community master supplier records of the suppliers. The system stores the community master supplier records based on private supplier records in the community of customers that are associated together by the system according to their similarity. Once a private supplier record of a record is matched to a community master supplier record for a supplier, the system suggests to the customer that the customer link the matched private supplier record to a supplier account of the supplier.

Examples described herein include an online travel planning method, which may include storing a user travel profile that includes one or more user travel characteristics that relate particularly to a user and receiving from the user over a computer network one or more generalized user travel objectives. In some examples the one or more generalized user travel objectives may include an experiential target or a cultural event. The method may further include identifying and providing to the user over the computer network one or more first particularized travel destinations as a generalized customizable travel plan based upon the one or more generalized user travel objectives and at least one of the one or more user travel characteristics of the user travel profile. The first particularized travel destinations may be based upon and include access to particularized arrangements for travel and accommodation.

A method of training a machine learning model to determine an item margin is provided. The method includes monitoring a first value for a first item having attributes and monitoring a first value for a second type of item having attributes where an attribute of the first attributes is the same as an attribute of the second attributes. The method also includes determining a first margin based on the first values. The first attributes, the second attributes, and the first margin are input as training data for the machine learning model where the machine learning model is trained with the training data. The monitoring operations for the first item and the second item are repeated to obtain a second value for the first and second items. Furthermore, the trained machine learning model is applied to the second values to determine a second margin.

Technologies are shown for buyer initiated automatic seller account generation where a buyer client receives an identification of a purchase item, generates an item token corresponding to the purchase item, and provides the item token to a seller client. The seller client authenticates a seller user with an authentication service, such as a biometric authentication service, receives an authentication token corresponding to the seller user, and sends an account creation request with the item token and the authentication token to an account creation service. The account creation service receives the account creation request, sends a user information request to the authentication service with the authentication token and receives seller information for the seller user from the authentication service. The account creation service creates a seller user account using the seller information, commits a purchase transaction for the purchase item, and sends an item purchase confirmation to the buyer client.

Systems and methods to facilitate programmatic access to a network-based commerce facility via a network are described. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a request from a third party application via the network at the network based commerce facility. The request performs an action pertaining to electronic commerce and being one of a plurality of requests recognized by the network-based commerce facility. In responsive to the request, the method performs the action pertaining to the electronic commerce and communicates from a result of the action from the network-based commerce facility to the third party application in a programmatically accessible format.

A two-way ticket exchange allows sellers to place an order along with their required specifications. Buyers can respond to the sellers orders with their offerings allowing sellers an option to accept their offer and buy verified and genuine tickets.

A device may receive user data associated with a product or service, the user data including a user identifier associated with a user. The device may identify a business application that is relevant to the product or service, the business application being designed to provide the user with a business offer related to the product or service. In addition, the device may provide the user data to the business application and receive, from the business application, business application state data and user response data, the business application state data specifying a partially completed transaction associated with the product or service, and the user response data including information associated with the partially completed transaction. The device may store the business application state data and the user response data, and perform an action based on the business application state data.

An application sales management server system that assists B2B online processing related to sales and distribution of applications while making use of a conventional business practice related to B2B is provided. A sales management server system operating in an edge server communicably connected to one or more edge devices is communicably connected to a terminal of an intermediary dealer that relays sales of applications and a terminal of an end user who uses the edge device and the edge server via a communication unit. A control unit includes: an ordering processing unit that notifies the terminal of a serial number corresponding to an application on the basis of an application purchase request from the terminal of the intermediary dealer; and a distribution processing unit that distributes an application corresponding to a serial number to the edge server in response to receiving the serial number transmitted from the terminal of the end user.

A multi-lender architecture is configured to provide a loan applicant with automated pre-qualification and automobile loan eligibility evaluation for multiple candidate lenders. Lender output data may include sensitive data. The lender output data is stored in a data object of a first format and one or more fields of the data object are encrypted at the field level. The encrypted data object may be transmitted through multiple application layers or terminals. The encrypted data object may be reformatted at one or more application layers or terminals without decryption. A reformatted encrypted data object containing the lender output data may be decrypted at the last layer before forwarding the lender output data to the loan applicant.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for communicating a first information node between a seller and a buyer of a production share of verifiable physical goods over a central service layer. A second information node is recorded in the data store covering the verifiable physical goods, wherein the second information node is made by a guarantor in communication with the central service layer. An identifier of the second information node is associated with the first information node over the central service layer. Market information regarding the production share is translated from the first information node and the second information node accessed from the data store using the identifier and integrating the market information regarding the production share into adjusted market information, and the market information regarding the production share and the adjusted market information is transmitted to devices connected over the central service layer.
