Abstract
Methods and systems for scheduling modifications to online stores. Detecting an anticipated flash sale event for a first online store. Scheduling a modification to a second online store to occur at a first time, wherein the modification is to enable the second online store to receive orders for a product. Determining that the first time is within a defined time of the anticipated flash sale. Responsive to determining that the first time is within a defined time of the anticipated flash sale, determining a second time for scheduling the modification, the second time different from the first time.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for scheduling modifications to online stores, the method comprising:
- detecting an anticipated flash sale event for a first online store;
- scheduling a modification to a second online store to occur at a first time, wherein the modification is to enable the second online store to receive orders for a product;
- determining that the first time is within a defined time of the anticipated flash sale event;
- and
- responsive to determining that the first time is within the defined time of the anticipated flash sale event, determining a second time for scheduling the modification, the second time different from the first time.
A system, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, are to cause the processor to:
- detect an anticipated flash sale event for a first online store;
- schedule a modification to a second online store to occur at a first time, wherein the modification is to enable the second online store to receive orders for a product;
- determine that the first time is within a defined time of the anticipated flash sale;
- and
- responsive to determining that the first time is within a defined time of the anticipated flash sale, determine a second time for scheduling the modification, the second time different from the first time.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause the one or more processors to:
- detect an anticipated flash sale event for a first online store;
- schedule a modification to a second online store to occur at a first time, wherein the modification is to enable the second online store to receive orders for a product;
- determine that the first time is within a defined time of the anticipated flash sale;
- and
- responsive to determining that the first time is within a defined time of the anticipated flash sale, determine a second time for scheduling the modification, the second time different from the first time.
