Abstract: An on-demand ecosystem (ODE) computing device for integrating on-demand delivery services with purchase transactions is provided. The ODE computing device receives item data from a registered merchant, and receives availability data from at least one registered carrier. The ODE computing device further provides a searchable interface that enables a user to search for item data from the registered merchant, and receives a selected item from the user via the searchable interface. The selected item is offered for sale by the registered merchant and includes a selected pick-up location. The selected item is to be delivered to the user from the selected pick-up location. The ODE computing device also allows either the registered merchant or the user to select one of the at least one registered carriers, and processes a payment transaction for the selected item including an item price and a delivery fee.
