Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant. One or more in-store customers located at the merchant are identified. The one or more in-store customers are filtered based on courier qualification criteria.

Claims (31)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computing system, notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant;

identifying, by the computing system, one or more in-store customers located at the merchant; and

filtering, by the computer system, the one or more in-store customers based on courier qualification criteria.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a social graph limitation.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a courier rating limitation.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising filtering the one or more delivery orders based on delivery qualification criteria.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the delivery qualification criteria comprise a geographic limitation.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the delivery qualification criteria comprise at least one of: a social graph limitation, a remote customer rating limitation, or a product-based limitation.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising ranking the one or more delivery orders based on the delivery qualification criteria.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising providing a filtered, ranked subset of the one or more delivery orders to the one or more in-store customers.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising ranking the one or more in-store customers based on the courier qualification criteria.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising assigning one of the one or more in-store customers to deliver at least one of the one or more delivery orders based on the filtering and the ranking of the one or more in-store customers.

11 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

receiving notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant;

identifying one or more in-store customers located at the merchant; and

filtering the one or more in-store customers based on courier qualification criteria.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a social graph limitation.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises filtering the one or more delivery orders based on delivery qualification criteria.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises ranking the one or more in-store customers based on the courier qualification criteria.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises assigning one of the one or more in-store customers to deliver at least one of the one or more delivery orders based on the filtering and the ranking of the one or more in-store customers.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

receiving notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant;

identifying one or more in-store customers located at the merchant; and

filtering the one or more in-store customers based on courier qualification criteria.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a social graph limitation.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the method further comprises filtering the one or more delivery orders based on delivery qualification criteria.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the method further comprises ranking the one or more in-store customers based on the courier qualification criteria.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the method further comprises assigning one of the one or more in-store customers to deliver at least one of the one or more delivery orders based on the filtering and the ranking of the one or more in-store customers.
