Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for remotebuild software build action-merging. In some examples, a build server receives a first software build action and a second software build action. In examples, it is determined that there is a match between a first hash value of the first software build action and a second hash value of the second software build action. In examples, only the first software build action is run from among the first software build action and the second software build action based on the match to produce a software build action result. In examples, the software build action result is returned as an output of the first software build action and an output of the second software build action.

The method may include receiving, at the commerce platform, a request from a user system that identifies an account at the commerce platform and includes a capability requested for the account, where the requested capability corresponds to a desired functionality of the account. The method may also include mapping the requested capability to a compliance plan that defines a set of account data to be collected before activation of the capability for the account by the commerce platform. Furthermore, the method may include transmitting a message, generated by the commerce platform, that comprises a listing of additional data to be provided by the user system before activation of the capability for the account, where the additional data comprises a minimal set of account data defined by the compliance plan less any data already associated with the account at the commerce platform.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating one or more user interfaces are described. The method includes transmitting a request for creating a merchant account that onboards the merchant for use of services provided by the commerce platform system. The method includes in response to executing an onboarding user interface received from the commerce platform, establishing a merchant context for the merchant account in a memory of the merchant system, where the merchant context stores a local copy of merchant account data for the merchant account. Furthermore, the method includes determining, based on data stored in the merchant context, a composition that renders one of a plurality of different user interfaces for collecting a set of the merchant account data associated with the composition, and determining a subset of merchant account data that is required to comply with a minimum set of account information.

Abstract: A method for location-dependent determination comprises: determining, with one or more processors, a geographic location of a user's electronic device using first data; in response to determining the determined geographic location is insufficient for performing a location-dependent determination, requesting second data to determine an updated geographic location of the user's electronic device; performing, with an Application Programming Interface (API), the location-dependent determination based on the updated geographic location; and completing, with the API, a transaction using the location-dependent determination.
