摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed herein for facilitating collaborative shopping. Notifications may be sent to remote devices in response to a shopper's device entering a store or within a given proximity to a store. Notifications may invoke or include an interface to add items to a shared shopping list. Notifications from the shopper's device may be sent in advance of a user entering a store to alert friends and family to add items to the shared shopping list. A remote device may be used to authorize and instruct the shopper's device to pick up items that have been previously purchased either automatically or in response to an input from a user of the remote device. Authorization to pick up the previously-purchased item may be transmitted to one or both of a merchant and the shopper's device.

摘要： A retail gift card system with integrated account and electronic receipt tracking is disclosed. The retail gift card system comprises an internet-accessible customer account and a customer account linked gift card. The gift card is used to purchase merchandize from a retailer-operated store, whereupon transaction data, monetary value data, and/or electronic receipt data is contemporaneously captured and stored on a retailer-operated computer network in association with the customer account. To promote customer convenience, the gift card is provided with a machine-readable link to the customer account, thereby enabling “on-the-spot” access using, for example, a smartphone. Particular embodiments of the system include a balance depositing function and/or electronic coupon and warranty coupling.
