  • Patent number: 12062082
    Abstract: A seller provides customers with the ability to order items using shipping benefits associated with a separate fulfillment entity, such as an online store, by providing inventory to a designated fulfilment location. When a customer accesses the webpage, identifiers for the customer device and item are used to determine an estimated delivery time the separate fulfillment entity may provide, which may be presented in a widget or other type of element within the webpage. In response to input to the element, the customer may be presented with a prompt for authentication data, and after a successful authentication, the estimated delivery time may be updated based on a location of the authenticated customer. In response to input confirming the transaction, an order for the item is generated by the separate fulfillment entity and the customer may continue navigating the seller website.

  • Publication number: 20230177451
    Abstract: When a user accesses a seller webpage for an item for which expedited shipping is available, data regarding this access is provided to a separate fulfilment service that is able to deliver the item. A control on the webpage, that may be provided to the seller by the fulfilment service, presents an initial estimated delivery time based on the network address of the user’s device and a known location of the item. The user may provide input to the control to access a user account, and a location for the user account may be used to update the estimated delivery time. If the item is purchased, the fulfilment service may determine payment information for the user account and process payment and delivery of the item. If an additional item not fulfilled by the fulfilment service is also purchased, data for this purchase is provided to the seller website for processing.
