Abstract

A system architecture of a gift transaction system is disclosed. The gift transaction system can include a buyer interface module, a recipient interface module, a merchant backend interface module, a store front interface module, a curation module, a reminder module, an analytics module, or a media plug-in interface module. A method of operating the gift transaction system under the system architecture includes: providing an embedded widget on a website to determine gift intent to initiate a gift transaction by a buyer account for a recipient account; generating a gift buyer interface for a first client device to personalize a gift package including a gift item; generating a gift recipient interface for a second client device to customize the gift package; and communicating with a merchant backend system to complete the gift transaction to ship the gift package.

Claims (56)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors of a gift transaction system, data indicating that a client device has activated a graphical interface;

accessing, by a plug-in interface module of the gift transaction system, data associated with the client device;

determining past behavior from the data associated with the client device;

determining gift intent, wherein gift intent is an intention to send a product as a gift item, wherein the gift intent is determined using the past behavior;

adjusting a graphical interface element of the graphical interface in response to determining the gift intent;

receiving second input corresponding to the graphical interface element;

generating a buyer interface, wherein the buyer interface is generated in response to the second input, and wherein the buyer interface is embedded within the graphical interface;

receiving a third input corresponding to a selection of a particular product, wherein the third input is received using the buyer interface; and

initiating a gift transaction using the particular product.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the past behavior includes one or more past interactions with a digital store front associated with the buyer interface.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the past behavior includes a record of one or more past interactions with a second digital store front.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the past behavior includes past interactions with a third-party system.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the client device includes one or more personal attributes.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the gift intent includes:

identifying, from data associated with a website, one or more previous products; and

determining that the one or more previous products excludes the particular product.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the second input is associated with a user identifier, and wherein the website is accessed using the user identifier.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a photo of the product, wherein determining the gift intent includes using the photo.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the buyer interface is associated with a gift item section of a digital store front.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the buyer interface is embedded in a checkout interface of a digital store front.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the buyer interface is embedded in a product page associated with the particular product.

12. A computer system hosting a gift transaction system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

receiving data indicating that a client device has activated a graphical interface;

accessing, by a plug-in interface module of the gift transaction system, data associated with the client device;

determining past behavior from the data associated with the client device;

determining gift intent, wherein gift intent is an intention to send a product as a gift item, wherein the gift intent is determined using the past behavior;

adjusting a graphical interface element of the graphical interface in response to determining the gift intent;

receiving second input corresponding to the graphical interface element;

generating a buyer interface, wherein the buyer interface is generated in response to the second input, and wherein the buyer interface is embedded within the graphical interface;

receiving a third input corresponding to a selection of a particular product, wherein the third input is received using the buyer interface; and

initiating a gift transaction using the particular product.

13. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the past behavior includes one or more past interactions with a digital store front.

14. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the past behavior includes a record of one or more past interactions with a second digital store front.

15. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the past behavior includes past interactions with a third-party system.

16. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the data associated with the client device includes one or more personal attributes.

17. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein determining the gift intent includes:

identifying, from data associated with a website, one or more previous products; and

determining that the one or more previous products excludes the particular product.

18. The computing system of claim 17 , wherein the second input is associated with a user identifier, and wherein the website is accessed using the user identifier.

19. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium further includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

receiving a photo of the product, wherein determining the gift intent includes using the photo.

20. A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system hosting a gift transaction system, cause the one or more processors to:

receive data indicating that a client device has activated a graphical interface;

access, by a plug-in interface module of the gift transaction system, data associated with the client device;

determine past behavior from the data associated with the client device;

determine gift intent, wherein gift intent is an intention to send a product as a gift item, wherein the gift intent is determined using the past behavior;

adjust a graphical interface element of the graphical interface in response to determining the gift intent;

receive second input corresponding to the graphical interface element;

generate a buyer interface, wherein the buyer interface is generated in response to the second input, and wherein the buyer interface is embedded within the graphical interface;

receive a third input corresponding to a selection of a particular product, wherein the third input is received using the buyer interface; and

initiate a gift transaction using the particular product.
