## Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a multi-dimensional commerce platform that may be utilized for the communication of data. Aspects of the multi-dimensional commerce platform may include various functional components to facilitate a system to receive inventory data at a first server associated with the multi-dimensional commerce platform, provide a second server associated with a third-party (e.g., a third party seller/distributor) access to the inventory data, alter or modify the inventory data based on attributes of the second server, and cause display of a presentation of the modified inventory data at a client device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
transmitting from a networked platform to a server, an inventory request that includes an identifier and at least one term related to a first item;
receiving data from the server in response to transmitting the inventory request;
identifying inventory data having item attributes where the inventory data is identified based on the inventory request and having a first format;
modifying, at the networked platform, at least one of the item attributes based on configuration information stored at the networked platform;
causing the modified at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on a client device in a second format where the modifying causes the at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on the client device in the second format that is different from the first format;
receiving, at the networked platform, a transaction request from the client device in response to causing the modified at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on a client device, the transaction request including an entity;
parsing the transaction request to identify the entity associated with the transaction request;
providing, from the networked platform, transactions details to the server in response to receiving the transaction request; and
notifying, by the server, the entity of the transaction request.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the networked platform maintains a configurations database comprising one or more presentation configurations, each associated with a corresponding source server.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises causing a purchase of the first item.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the item attributes include a price and a first display language, and the modifying the at least one of the item attributes includes:
translating the first display language to a second display language; and
altering the price.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the item attributes of the first item include an item description, an item image, and a display format for the first item, and the modifying the at least one of the item attributes includes modifying the item description, the item image, and the display format of the first item based on the configuration information.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the causing display of a presentation of the first item at the client device includes generating a graphical user interface that includes the presentation of the first item.

### Claim 7

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a networked platform, cause the networked platform to perform operations comprising:
transmitting to a server an inventory request that includes an identifier and at least one term related to a first item;
receiving data from the server in response to transmitting the inventory request;
identifying inventory data having item attributes where the inventory data is identified based on the inventory request and having a first format;
modifying, at the networked platform, at least one of the item attributes based on configuration information stored at the networked platform;
causing the modified at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on a client device in a second format where the modifying causes the at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on the client device in a second format that is different from the first format;
receiving, at the networked platform, a transaction request from the client device in response to causing the modified at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on a client device, the transaction request including an entity;
parsing the transaction request to identify the entity associated with the transaction request;
providing, from the networked platform, transactions details to the server in response to receiving the transaction request; and
notifying, by the server, the entity of the transaction request.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein the item attributes include a price and a first display language, and when modifying the at least one of the item attributes, the instructions cause the networked platform to perform operations further comprising:
translating the first display language to a second display language; and
altering the price.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein the item attributes of the first item include an item description, an item image, and a display format for the first item, and the modifying the at least one of the item attributes includes modifying the item description, the item image, and the display format of the first item based on the configuration information.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein when causing display of a presentation of the first item at the client device, the instructions cause the networked platform to perform operations further comprising generating a graphical user interface that includes the presentation of the first item.

### Claim 11

A networked platform comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the one or more processors, causes the networked platform to perform operations comprising:
transmitting, from the networked platform to a server, an inventory request that includes an identifier and at least one term related to a first item;
receiving data from the server in response to transmitting the inventory request;
identifying inventory data having item attributes where the inventory data is identified based on the inventory request and having a first format;
modifying, at the networked platform, at least one of the item attributes based on configuration information stored at the networked platform;
causing the modified at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on a client device in a second format where the modifying causes the at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on the client device in a second format that is different from the first format;
receiving, at the networked platform, a transaction request from the client device in response to causing the modified at least one of the item attributes to be displayed on a client device, the transaction request including an entity;
parsing the transaction request to identify the entity associated with the transaction request;
providing, from the networked platform, transactions details to the server in response to receiving the transaction request; and
notifying, by the server, the entity of the transaction request.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)
