Abstract: A purchase request system efficiently procures goods and services by recognizing purchase authority levels of users within an enterprise, division, or project team. Administrators establish authority levels to ensure that purchase requests within a user's authority level are automatically processed and submitted to vendors for fulfillment of orders, while purchase requests beyond a user's authority level are routed according to a determined protocol. Determined protocols include routing the purchase request to a designated user with a different authority level for disposition, rejection of the purchase request, or modification of the purchase request in accordance with the determined protocol. Users may select from multiple payment methods to complete a purchase transaction and may access the purchasing system in real time to determine the status of an order at any point in the life cycle of the purchase request, from submission of the request to payment for received goods and services.

A first source is associated with the application and a second source is associated with the transactional feature. The transactional feature is provided without leaving the application to the user when the determining determines at least one of the stored data, the input data, and the action corresponds with the transactional feature.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and system for integrating and managing one or more features in an application includes obtaining data from at least one application provider system with at least one application and from one or more feature provider systems with one or more features. The obtained data is used to implement a programming interface between the syndication system and the application and the one or more features which can be integrated in the application. A selection of one or more of the features for integration in the application is received. The implementation of the programming interface between a syndication system and the application and the one or more selected features to be integrated in the application is generated. The generated implementation of the programming interface is provided to the application provider system with the application.

Abstract: An e-commerce system offering retail, instant buy, and auction sales models automatically moves items for sale between the sales models according to seller-defined criteria, such as elasticity of demand, cash generation, time in sales model, and quantity in sales model.
