Systems methods and computer program products for directing consumer from digital receipt to source of specific item for repeat item purchase

A computer-implemented method for directing a consumer to a source offering for sale a specific item previously purchased by the consumer, the method being performed by a computer, and comprising:

• a first computer receiving electronic receipt data from a transaction processing device of a merchant, the electronic receipt data identifying the specific item purchased by the consumer from the merchant;
• and
• the first computer generating an electronic representation of a receipt, the electronic representation comprising data identifying the specific item, a first input element associated with the specific item and a second input element associated with the specific item, the electronic representation being displayable on a screen of a second computer of the consumer in communication with the first computer through a network such that the first computer directs the consumer to a first source offering the specific item for sale when the consumer selects the first input element and directs the consumer to a second source offering the specific item for sale when the consumer selects the second input element.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying one or more instructions executable by a computer to perform a process for directing a consumer to a source offering for sale a specific item purchased by the consumer, the process comprising:

• receiving, at a first computer, electronic receipt data from a transaction processing device of a merchant, the electronic receipt data identifying the specific item purchased by the consumer from the merchant, and generating an electronic representation of a receipt, the electronic representation comprising data identifying the specific item, a first input element associated with the specific item and a second input element associated with the specific item, the electronic representation being displayed on a screen of a second computer of the consumer in communication with the first computer through a network such that when the consumer selects the first input element, the consumer is directed to a first source offering the specific item for sale, and when the consumer selects the second input element, the consumer is directed to a second source offering the specific item for sale.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying one or more instructions executable by a computer to perform a process for presenting a digital receipt for a specific item purchased by a consumer to the consumer to allow the consumer to repurchase the specific item from a different merchant, the process comprising:

• generating a digital receipt comprising a first input element and a second input element, the first input element being selectable by the consumer to direct the consumer from the digital receipt to a first merchant offering the specific item for sale, the second input element being selectable by the consumer to direct the consumer from the digital receipt to a second merchant offering the specific item for sale, the second merchant being different from the first merchant;
• and providing access to the digital receipt in response to a request by computing device of the consumer, the digital receipt being displayable on a screen of the computing device to allow the consumer to select the first input element to be directed to the first merchant offering the specific item for sale and to select the second input element to be directed to the second merchant offering the specific item for sale.
