Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating item bundles. An item bundle includes more than one item from an item universe that can be bundled together. For example, in an electronic marketplace, two items can be linked together as a bundle that is sold. An order document can be created that includes a reference to the item bundle that is associated with an entry for each of the items in the bundle.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating a user session associated with a user of a network site;
- associating a first item from an item universe and at least one other item from the item universe to the user session;
- generating an item association identifier that uniquely identifies an association between the first item and the at least one other item in response to the first item and the at least one other item being associated with the user session;
- identifying a location associated with the user based upon user account data associated with the user;
- identifying a service provider in proximity to the location from among a plurality of service providers associated with the at least one other item;
- identifying a service level agreement of the service provider with respect to the at least one other item;
- and
- generating, a user interface with a first region displaying information about a third item associated with the user session, and a second region displaying information about the first item, the at least one other item, and the service level agreement, and a user interface element which, when selected, causes a transaction processor to process a first transaction associated with the first item and the at least one other item, and a second transaction associated with the third item, wherein the transaction processor enforces at least one rule based at least in part on the item association identifier that uniquely identifies the association between the first item and the at least one other item.
5 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device;
- and
- at least one application that is configured to cause the at least one computing device to at least:
- associate a first item from an item universe and a second item from the item universe with a user session in a network site;
- generate an item association identifier that uniquely identifies an association between the first item and the second item in response to the first item and the second item being associated with the user session;
- identify a service level agreement associated with the second item;
- generate order data comprising a shipping address associated with the second item;
- and
- generate a user interface with a first region displaying information about a third item associated with the user session, a second region displaying information about the first item, the second item, and the service level agreement, and a user interface element which, when selected, causes a transaction processor to process a first transaction associated with the first item and the second item, and a second transaction associated with the third item, wherein the transaction processor enforces at least one rule based at least in part on the item association identifier that uniquely identifies the association between the first item and the second item.
6 more elements
A method, comprising:
- associating a first item, a second item, and a third item with a user session in a network site;
- generating an item association identifier corresponding to an association of the first item with the second item, wherein the item association identifier uniquely identifies the association of the first item with the second item, in response to the first item and the second item being associated with the user session;
- identifying a plurality of service providers associated with the second item;
- obtaining a user selection of one of the service providers;
- and
- generating a user interface with a first region displaying information about the third item, a second region displaying information about the first item and the second item, and a user interface element which, when selected, causes a transaction processor to process a first transaction associated with the first item and the second item, and a second transaction associated with the third item wherein the transaction processor enforces at least one rule based at least in part on the item association identifier that uniquely identifies the association of the first item with the second item.
