Abstract

A domain name registrar may create a customizable universal purchase path for all customers purchasing a given product. The registrar may create and store modular cross sell components that each has material for at least one product offered for sale by the registrar. Thereafter, the registrar may receive a request for a product from a customer. The registrar may determine a probability the customer will complete the purchase if shown upgrades and/or additional products. If the probability is low (or lower than a predefined threshold) the registrar may complete the purchase before displaying additional upgrades and/or additional products to the customer. This will maximize the conversion rate. Alternatively, if the probability is high (or higher than a predefined threshold) the registrar may create final page markups using the modular cross sell components and collected content and display the final page markups to the customer before completing the purchase with the customer. In preferred embodiments, the final page markups are for the upgrades and/or additional products most likely to be purchased by the customer. This will maximize the amount of each purchase.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising the steps of:

storing by a domain name registrar a first plurality of modular cross sell components, wherein each modular cross sell component in the first plurality of modular cross sell components has material for at least one product offered for sale by the domain name registrar;
receiving by a website of a domain name reseller of the domain name registrar over a computer network a request to enter a product into an electronic shopping cart by a customer using a client device;
creating by the domain name registrar a second plurality of modular cross sell components that is a subset of the first plurality of modular cross sell components by filtering out one or more modular cross sell components in the first plurality of modular cross sell components that has material for a product not sold by the domain name reseller;
applying by the domain name registrar a scoring algorithm to rank the second plurality of modular cross sell components from most to least likely to be purchased by the customer;
selecting by the domain name registrar a third plurality of modular cross sell components from the second plurality of modular cross sell components with material for products that are the most likely to be purchased by the customer based on the scoring algorithm;
collecting by the domain name registrar content for the third plurality of modular cross sell components;
building by the domain name registrar a plurality of final page markups by combining the collected content with the third plurality of modular cross sell components;
and
transmitting by the domain name registrar over the computer network the plurality of final page markups to the client device of the customer, wherein the client device is configured to display each transmitted final page markup in the plurality of final page markups one at a time to the customer.

creating by the domain name registrar a second plurality of modular cross sell components that is a subset of the first plurality of modular cross sell components by filtering out one or more modular cross sell components in the first plurality of modular cross sell components that has material for a product that cannot be sold in a market associated with an IP address used by the client device;
applying by the domain name registrar a scoring algorithm to rank the second plurality of modular cross sell components from most to least likely to be purchased by the customer;
selecting by the domain name registrar a third plurality of modular cross sell components from the second plurality of modular cross sell components with material for products that are the most likely to be purchased by the customer based on the scoring algorithm;
collecting by the domain name registrar content for the third plurality of modular cross sell components;
building by the domain name registrar a plurality of final page markups by combining the collected content with the third plurality of modular cross sell components;
and
transmitting by the domain name registrar over the computer network the plurality of final page markups to the client device of the customer, wherein the client device is configured to display each transmitted final page markup in the plurality of final page markups one at a time to the customer.

selecting by the domain name registrar a third plurality of modular cross sell components from the second plurality of modular cross sell components with material for products that are the most likely to be purchased by the customer based on the scoring algorithm;
collecting by the domain name registrar content for the third plurality of modular cross sell components;
building by the domain name registrar a plurality of final page markups by combining the collected content with the third plurality of modular cross sell components;
and
transmitting by the domain name registrar over the computer network the plurality of final page markups to the client device of the customer, wherein the client device is configured to display each transmitted final page markup in the plurality of final page markups one at a time to the customer.
