An online concierge system generates an item graph connecting item nodes with attribute nodes of the items. Example attributes include a brand, a category, a department, or any other suitable information about the item. When the online concierge system receives a search query to identify one or more items from a customer, the online concierge system parses the search query into combinations of terms and identifies item nodes and attribute nodes related to the search query. The online concierge system identifies item nodes and attribute nodes that are likely to result in a conversion. Information about the identified nodes is presented to the customer. The customer may select an item node to purchase the item, or an attribute node to execute a new search query based on terms associated with the attribute node.

A system and method for providing payments is disclosed. A method can include establishing a wireless link between a mobile device and a merchant device. After an instruction is displayed on the mobile device, a combination of a first type of input and a second type of input are received on the mobile device, first type of input including at least one button press of a physical button and the second type of input received from a user to confirm a payment for the purchase. Based on the inputs, payment data is retrieved from a memory of the mobile device. The method includes receiving the payment data at the merchant device to make the purchase, wherein receiving the payment data, via the wireless link, at the merchant device to make the purchase is performed according to a protocol for communicating the payment data to the merchant device.

Methods and systems for providing a digital cart management system for use by customers within a retail location. In use, a customer shops within a retail location and adds items to a digital cart as the customer is adding the items to a physical cart, e.g., at least in part by voice input. When the customer is finished shopping, the customer can checkout via a digital process, thereby bypassing point of sale devices at the retail location.

A method for employing item-level financing offers in relation to extension of a loan to a user for an online cart including multiple items may include receiving information identifying a first item in the online cart and receiving information identifying a second item in the online cart. The method may further include performing a first credit extension decision with respect to the first item, performing a second credit extension decision with respect to the second item, and providing, based on the first and second credit extension decisions, a financing offer to the user with respect to financing a transaction including both the first and second items. The financing offer includes item-level information regarding details of the first and second credit extension decisions.

An example system includes an e-commerce platform to: identify a customer identifier associated with a customer browsing a vendor e-storefront on the e-commerce platform; and a loyalty rewards system in communication with the e-commerce platform, the loyalty rewards system to: receive the customer identifier; identify a point balance associated with the customer identifier; determine whether the point balance satisfies a threshold condition; when the point balance satisfies the threshold condition, select a reward option; and send, from a nudge module, a nudge including the selected reward option for presentation by the e-commerce platform to the customer; and wherein the e-commerce platform is further to: in response to an indication from the customer to apply the reward option, store the reward option for a subsequent purchase; and in response to a selection of one or more items for the subsequent purchase, apply the reward option to the selection.

Systems and methods including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform: executing a greedy incremental batcher loop, which can comprise: selecting a first picklist of one or more picklists; and merging the first picklist with one or more picklists in a first remainder of the one or more picklists when the merging would decrease a cost of the first picklist, wherein the first remainder of the one or more picklists comprises the one or picklists excluding the first picklist; executing a randomized tote local search loop, which can comprise: selecting two random picklists of the one or more picklists, as merged; and swapping totes of the two random picklists of the one or more picklists, as merged, when the swapping would decrease a cost of at least one picklist of the two random picklists; executing an update min trolley loop, which can comprise: selecting a shortest picklist of the one or more picklists, as merged and swapped; and combining the shortest picklist with at least one picklist of the one or more picklists, as merged and swapped, wherein a combination picklist of the shortest picklist and the at least one picklist results in a savings of cost; and facilitating displaying the combination picklist and the one or more picklists, as merged and swapped, to a picker. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

A drive-through system includes: a store terminal including a first processor; a vehicle including a second processor; and a user terminal device including a third processor. The second processor is configured to receive, from each occupant, operation to select a product to be purchased in a drive-through service, generate order information indicating the product selected by the occupant, and output the generated order information to the store terminal device. The first processor is configured to acquire the order information, generate, by using the acquired order information, settlement information for each occupant for performing settlement processing of the product, and output the generated settlement information to the vehicle. The second processor is further configured to acquire the settlement information, and display the settlement information of each occupant. The third processor is configured to execute the settlement processing of the product by using the settlement information of the occupant displayed.

A programmed computer-implemented method allows enterprises to pay transactions using a virtual credit card at the time of an approved purchase order. The approach maintains corporate controls relating to requisitions and purchase orders, eliminates the need for electronic invoicing, and automates the accounting and reconciliation of virtual credit card charges. For example, a particular line item in a card statement, representing a particular charge event, is automatically reconciled to the correct purchase order. For another example, each charge represented in a card statement can be associated with the supplier that is identified in a corresponding PO. Therefore, a computer graphical user interface (GUI) can show vendor identification at any time, whereas most buyers are not able to see the true vendor in spend data on a credit card charge, as the vendor is typically just represented as the issuing bank.

A system and method for implementing a scale based order assignment and fulfillment system is provided. The method includes receiving (via a user interface from a user) a request for an item from an entity. A database comprising links between zones is scanned and in response, a unit is assigned to a zone associated with a location of the item. The assignment results in the transmission of digital instructions to an electronic scale apparatus located within the zone and associated with the unit. The digital instructions executed for activating the electronic scale apparatus to enable a user to dynamically fulfil the request for the first item.

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for customizing knitted products. A specific embodiment of the method includes: receiving knitting program instructions of basic products uploaded regularly by factories to a cloud-based customization platform; generating a design file and an order of a new product in response to a customer designing the new product on the cloud-based customization platform and placing the order; replacing the design file of the corresponding basic product with the design file of the new product to generate the knitting program for making the new product, and generating a working file executable by a knitting machine; sending the order and the working file to an intelligent factory system or manufacturing execution system; and producing the new product by using the knitting machine according to the working file.
