Abstract
A computer system detects that a first user has selected an element corresponding to accessing a checkout page of a merchant. Based on detecting that the first user has selected an element corresponding to accessing the checkout page of the merchant, the computer system determines if one or more merchant criteria associated with the merchant have been met. Based on determining that the one or more merchant criteria associated with the merchant have been met, the computer system causes a promotional payment button to be rendered on the checkout page of the merchant displayed on a device of the first user.
Claims20
A computer system, comprising:
- one or more computer-readable memories storing program instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting that a first user has selected an element corresponding to accessing a checkout page of a website associated with a merchant, wherein the first user is a user of a first service provider, and wherein the first service provider is different from the merchant;
- based on detecting, during a first time period, that the first user has selected an element corresponding to accessing the checkout page of the merchant, determining if one or more merchant criteria associated with the merchant have been met, wherein the determining if the one or more merchant criteria has been met includes:
- determining that user accounts associated with users of the first service provider that are accessing the website associated with the merchant, during the first time period, exceed a threshold number;
- determining that the user accounts are interconnected in a social network accessible by the first service provider;
- and
- determining that the user accounts, except for an account corresponding to the first user, each have an item in a respective digital shopping cart for the website;
- and
- based on determining that the one or more merchant criteria associated with the merchant have been met, causing a promotional payment button to be rendered on the checkout page of the website displayed on a device of the first user, wherein the promotional payment button corresponds to the item.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, that in response to execution by one or more hardware processors, causes the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- detecting that a first user has selected an element corresponding to accessing a checkout page of a website associated with a merchant, wherein the first user is a user of a first service provider, wherein the first service provider is different from the merchant;
- based on detecting, during a first time period, that the first user has selected an element corresponding to accessing the checkout page of the website, determining if one or more merchant criteria associated with the merchant have been met, wherein the determining if the one or more merchant criteria have been met includes:
- determining that user accounts associated with users of the first service provider that are accessing the website of the merchant, during the first time period, exceed a threshold number;
- determining that the user accounts are interconnected in a social network accessible by the first service provider;
- and
- determining that the user accounts, except for an account corresponding to the first user, each have an item in a respective digital shopping cart for the website;
- and
- based on determining that the one or more merchant criteria associated with the merchant have been met, causing a promotional payment button to be rendered on the checkout page of the web site displayed on a device of the first user, wherein the promotional payment button corresponds to the item.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a computer system, that a first user has accessed a selectable element on a resource page that causes a search for a product or service, wherein the first user is a user of a first service provider, and wherein the resource page corresponds to an entity that is different than the first service provider;
- in response to the detecting that the first user has accessed a first selectable element that causes the search for the product or the service, determining, by the computer system, one or more merchants that correspond to the product or the service;
- analyzing, by the computer system, one or more merchant criteria corresponding to the one or more merchants to determine that a first merchant of the determined one or more merchants has a highest ranking, wherein the analyzing the one or more merchant criteria includes:
- determining user accounts associated with users of the first service provider that are presently accessing a website of the first merchant;
- determining that the user accounts are interconnected in a social network accessible by the first service provider;
- and
- determining that the user accounts, except for an account corresponding to the first user, each have the product or the service in a respective digital shopping cart for the website;
- and
- in response to the determining the user accounts are presently accessing the website of the first merchant and that the first merchant has the highest ranking, providing, by the computer system, an indication to the user to complete a checkout with the first merchant.
