Abstract: A computer-implemented method is proposed for determining a new location for a merchant. The method comprises: a) obtaining transaction data for a plurality of cardholders; b) obtaining location data for said cardholders; c) combining the location data with the transaction data; d) analyzing the locations of cardholders performing transactions at a particular merchant or type of merchant to determine any localities within which multiple cardholders performing such transactions are located; and e) assessing such localities on the basis of one or more economic factors to determine whether to recommend said locality as a new location for the merchant or type of merchant.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of processing an e-commerce order is provided. The method includes receiving, at an e-commerce server, an indication of an order including an indication of delivery information. The delivery information includes geolocation information and location specification information, the geolocation information includes latitude and longitude coordinates of the delivery destination, and the location specification information includes an indication of a vertical coordinate of the delivery destination. The method also includes generating delivery instructions for a courier to deliver at least one product to the delivery destination, the instructions comprising the geolocation information and the location specification information.
