Abstract

In some examples, a system receives, from a user device, an indication of a first item for a first order for delivery from a first merchant location to a delivery location. The system may determine one or more second merchants within a threshold distance of at least one of: the first merchant location, the delivery location, or a route between the first merchant location and the delivery location. The system may determine, based at least on past order information, second items of the one or more second merchants having a higher likelihood of being selected for bundling with the first item than other ones of the items of the one or more second merchants. Further, the system may send, to the user device, second merchant information to cause the user device to present a user interface including the second items having the higher likelihood of being selected for bundling.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, from a user device, an indication of a first item for a first order for delivery from a first merchant location of a first merchant to a delivery location associated with the user;
determining a plurality of second merchants within a threshold distance of at least one of:
the first merchant location, the delivery location, or a route between the first merchant location and the delivery location;
determining, based on past order information, second items of the second merchants having a higher likelihood of being bundled with the first item than other ones of the items of the second merchants;
comparing, with the items of each of the individual second merchants, the second items determined to have the higher likelihood of being bundled to select a subset of one or more of the second merchants having a larger amount of the second items than others of the plurality of second merchants;
and
sending, to the user device, second merchant information to cause the user device to present a user interface including information about the subset of the one or more selected second merchants and the second items offered by the one or more selected second merchants to enable bundling of the second items with the first item.

4 more elements

A system comprising one or more processors configured by executable instructions to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a user device, an indication of a first item for a first order for delivery from a first merchant location of a first merchant to a delivery location;
determining one or more second merchants within a threshold distance of at least one of:
the first merchant location, the delivery location, or a route between the first merchant location and the delivery location;
determining, based at least in part on past order information, second items of the one or more second merchants having a higher likelihood of being selected for bundling with the first item than other ones of the items of the one or more second merchants;
and
sending, to the user device, second merchant information to cause the user device to present a user interface including information about the second items having the higher likelihood of being selected for bundling.

3 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a user device, an indication of a first item for a first order for delivery from a first merchant location of a first merchant to a delivery location;
determining one or more second merchants within a threshold distance of at least one of:
the first merchant location, the delivery location, or a route between the first merchant location and the delivery location;
determining, based at least in part on past order information, second items of the one or more second merchants having a higher likelihood of being selected for bundling with the first item than other ones of the items of the one or more second merchants;
and
sending, to the user device, second merchant information to cause the user device to present a user interface including information about the second items having the higher likelihood of being selected for bundling.
