  • Publication number: 20240249247
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating user interface components corresponding to services performed by merchants and periods of time for performing the services. The techniques may include a payment processing service determining service information associated with services performed for merchants for whom the payment processing service has processed payments. In examples, a duration-identification model may be trained using at least one of employee-management data, appointment data, or catalog data. The duration-identification model may be applied to stored transaction data to determine duration information associated with the service(s) performed by the merchants. Based on the service information and duration information, user interface components may be generated without user input from a user. The user interface components may correspond to the service and periods of time for performing the services.

  • Publication number: 20210319407
    Abstract: Auto-populating a user interface based on service information and/or duration information is described. Transaction data associated with one or more transactions processed by a payment processing service on behalf of one or more merchants can be received. Based at least in part on stored transaction data associated with the one or more transactions, service information associated with one or more services performed by the one or more merchants can be determined. Based at least in part on the stored transaction data, duration information associated with the one or more services performed by the one or more merchants can be determined. The service information and/or the duration information can be used to generate, without input from a user, user interface components corresponding to the one or more services and one or more periods of time for performing the one or more services.

  • Patent number: 10963846
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for automated integration between services provided by a service provider. The techniques described herein employ classifiers to determine whether items offered for sale by a merchant are services or goods. A service-identification model may receive names of items as inputs, and be trained or otherwise configured to output indications of whether the names of the items correspond to services. In some examples, the names of the items which correspond to services may further be input into a duration-identification model, which is trained or otherwise configured to determine periods of time required by the merchant to perform the services. The techniques described herein may include populating user interfaces, such as a merchant website, with indications of the services, as well as periods of time to perform the services, that customers may interact with to schedule appointments with the merchant.
