Methods, systems, and products for ordering items
View Patent ↗Electronic commerce is enhanced for customer convenience. When an online order is received, a profile may be checked. A customer may her profile with items that are automatically added to the online order. Food and beverages, for example, may be items that are frequently consumed and thus automatically added to any online order. Electronic commerce may thus be enhanced to restock items that are frequently purchased.
1. A method for ordering items, comprising:
receiving, at a server, an online order associated with a client device, the online order identifying a usercode and an item requested for purchase;
querying, by the server, an electronic database for the usercode, the electronic database having electronic database associations between electronic profiles and usercodes to identify and to retrieve an electronic profile of the electronic profiles having an electronic database association with the usercode identified in the online order;
determining, by the server, the electronic profile is associated with a child of a parent;
retrieving, by the server, a parental profile associated with the parent;
retrieving, by the server, an electronic description from the parental profile, the electronic description describing a favorite item associated with the parent; and
automatically adding, by the server, the electronic description describing the favorite item to the online order.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the electronic database association between the child and the parent.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the electronic database association between the usercode and an indication associated with the parent.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing payment information.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising processing the payment information for the online order.
6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising processing the payment information for the favorite item automatically added to the online order.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising associating a username to the parental profile.
8. A system for ordering items, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving an online order associated with a client device, the online order identifying a usercode and identifying an item requested for purchase;
querying an electronic database for the usercode, the electronic database having electronic database associations between electronic profiles and usercodes including the usercode identified in the online order;
retrieving an electronic profile of the electronic profiles having an electronic database association with the usercode identified in the online order;
determining the electronic profile is associated with a child of a parent;
retrieving a parental profile associated with the parent;
retrieving, from the parental profile, an electronic description associated with a favorite item; and
automatically adding the electronic description associated with the favorite item to the online order.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the electronic database association between the child and the parent.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the electronic database association between the usercode and an indication associated with the parent.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise accessing payment information.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise processing the payment information for the online order.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise processing the payment information for the favorite item described by the online order.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise associating a username to the parental profile.
15. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving an online order associated with a client device, the online order identifying a usercode and identifying an item requested for purchase;
querying an electronic database for the usercode, the electronic database having electronic database associations between electronic profiles and usercodes including the usercode identified in the online order;
retrieving an electronic profile of the electronic profiles having an electronic database association with the usercode identified in the online order;
determining the electronic profile is associated with a child of a parent;
retrieving a parental profile associated with the parent;
retrieving, from the parental profile, an electronic description associated with a favorite item; and
automatically adding the electronic description associated with the favorite item to the online order.
16. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the electronic database association between the child and the parent.
17. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the electronic database association between the usercode and an indication associated with the parent.
18. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise accessing payment information.
19. The memory device of claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise processing the payment information for the online order.
20. The memory device of claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise processing the payment information for the favorite item described in the online order.
