Abstract: A trained model is used to predict a scheduled delivery for a self-picked order. Responsive to receiving an indication from a device associated with a user of an online system that the device is either within a defined vicinity from a location of a retailer or physically present at the location of the retailer, the online system applies a user targeting computer model trained to generate, based on user data and ordering data, a score for the user indicative of a likelihood of the user accepting an offer for the scheduled delivery of the order. Responsive to the score being greater than a threshold score, the online system generates a list of service options for the scheduled delivery of the order and displays the list of service options at a user interface of the device prompting the user to select a service option for the scheduled delivery of the order.
