• extracting product information by parsing product data or webpage content of the currently viewed page, the product information comprising current redemption information;
• determining a source having a second domain and having a product that corresponds to the product information;
• determining that a user adds the product to a shopping cart at the source and/or navigates to the checkout page on the source;
• providing, via a graphical user interface, a selectable confirmation element in response to the user adding the product;
• responsive to a user selection of the selectable confirmation element via the graphical user interface, receiving source gift card information associated with a user account associated with the user, from a shopping assistant by:
• automatically generating a first inquiry message using a first script to query the source with a gift card redemption request, the gift card redemption request indicating a requested redemption amount and the user account, and
• receiving, from the source, the source gift card information based on the source communicating with the shopping assistant to determine a status of the user account and/or rewards balance to determine the source gift card information;
