Abstract: A system and method of purchasing goods and arranging delivery. The system receives, from a mobile device within a physical store, identifications, made by a customer using the mobile device, of at least two items in the physical store as items to be purchased. The items to be purchased include a first set of items to be delivered and a second set of items not to be delivered. The system receives, from the mobile device, a delivery address for a first set of items. The system receives payment for the first set of items and the second set of items in a single transaction. The system places items corresponding to the first set of items in a delivery pipeline for subsequent physical delivery to the delivery address and authorizes removal of the second set of items from the physical store.

Abstract: A system and method that integrate shopping online and in physical stores are provided. The system provides a virtual shopping cart for online shopping. The virtual shopping cart includes a listing of items selected from one or more online stores. The virtual shopping cart is accessible through a mobile device. The system activates a set of physical store related functions (sometimes referred to as “in-store functions”) when the mobile device enters the proximity of a physical store with devices configured to interface with the system. The system identifies a list of items in the virtual shopping cart that are available in the physical store. The system provides the list on the mobile device.

Abstract: A system and method of providing a virtual waiting line. The system determines that a mobile device associated with a particular account has entered a proximity of a physical store. The system assigns an initial position in a virtual waiting line to the particular account. The virtual waiting line includes an order of positions, from the front of the virtual waiting line to the back of the virtual waiting line. As accounts closer to the front of the virtual waiting line than the particular account leave the virtual waiting line, the system repeatedly moves the particular account to positions closer to the front of the virtual line. The system causes an electronic display of the mobile device to show a relationship of the position of the particular account to the front of the virtual waiting line.
