Abstract

A computer-implemented method for managing data associated with wearable articles for an electronic transactions platform includes receiving wearable article data describing wearable articles made available for physical shipment to users via electronic interactions; generating a user interface and causing display of the user interface depicting one or more of the wearable articles; receiving a selection of a wearable article of the displayed one or more wearable articles via the user interface; determining a listed amount for the selected wearable article; determining a borrow period to borrow the selected wearable article and a borrow amount at least based on the determined listed amount to borrow the selected wearable article during the borrow period; determining a daily amount to keep the borrowed wearable article; and monitoring the borrowed wearable article to determine whether a return notification for the borrowed wearable article has been received within the borrow period.

Claims (85)

1. A computer-implemented method for managing data associated with wearable articles for an electronic transactions platform, the method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors, wearable article data describing one or more wearable articles selected by a user;

generating, by the one or more processors, a user interface for the electronic transactions platform based on the received wearable article data;

displaying, by the user interface, at least one graphical element corresponding to the one or more of the wearable articles, wherein the displaying includes dynamically generating the at least one graphical element by using an identity of the user, an availability of the one or more wearable articles, a valuation of the one or more wearable articles, or a desired subset of eligible users;

receiving, by the user interface, a selection of the at least one graphical element corresponding to the one or more wearable articles;

determining, by the one or more processors, a listed amount for the selected wearable article based on the received wearable article data, wherein the listed amount includes a current valuation corresponding to the selected wearable article;

determining, by the one or more processors, a borrow period to borrow the selected wearable article and a borrow amount based on the determined listed amount;

determining, by the one or more processors, a daily amount to keep the borrowed wearable article longer than the borrow period, the daily amount determined in real-time via an API call by a valuation microservice based on the determined listed amount, wherein the daily amount is for each day exceeding the borrow period;

as a result of determining that the selected wearable article has been borrowed, monitoring, by the one or more processors, the borrowed wearable article to determine whether a return notification for the borrowed wearable article has been received within the borrow period;

determining, by the one or more processors, a purchase amount for the selected wearable article based on the listed amount;

determining, by the one or more processors, that the return notification for the borrowed wearable article has not been received by an end of the borrow period;

calculating, by the one or more processors, an accrued amount based on the determined daily amount and a number of days following the end of the borrow period;

determining, by the one or more processors, a discounted purchase amount for the selected wearable article by subtracting the accrued amount from the determined purchase amount;

determining, by the one or more processors, whether a sum of the discounted purchase amount and the borrow amount exceeds a predetermined proportion of the listed amount; and

in response to determining that the sum of the discounted purchase amount and the borrow amount exceeds the predetermined proportion of the listed amount, displaying an article status notification to the user indicating that the selected wearable article is available for permanent use.

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

receiving the wearable article data from one or more electronic interfaces, wherein the one or more electronic interfaces are accessible over one or more networks.

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

in response to determining that the sum of the discounted purchase amount and the borrow amount exceeds the predetermined proportion of the listed amount, setting the predetermined proportion of the listed amount as a maximum amount for purchasing the wearable article.

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

in response to determining that the return notification for the borrowed wearable article has been received within the borrow period, prompting, by the one or more processors, the user for feedback corresponding to the selected wearable article.

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

receiving, by the one or more processors, the return notification outside of the borrow period from the user;

calculating, by the one or more processors, an outstanding accrued daily amount owed by the user; and

requesting, by the one or more processors, the user to submit the outstanding accrued daily amount to complete the return notification.

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

displaying, by the one or more processors, the borrow amount and the borrow period on the user interface.

7. A computer system for managing data associated with wearable articles for an electronic transactions platform, the computer system comprising:

a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein; and

one or more processors configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, the one or more processors, by executing the processor-readable instructions, are configured to perform a plurality of functions, including functions for:

receiving wearable article data describing one or more wearable articles selected by a user;

generating a user interface for the electronic transactions platform based on the received wearable article data;

displaying via the user interface, at least one graphical element corresponding to the one or more of the wearable articles, wherein the displaying includes dynamically generating the at least one graphical element by using an identity of the user, an availability of the one or more wearable articles, a valuation of the one or more wearable articles, or a desired subset of eligible users;

receiving a selection of the at least one graphical element corresponding to the one or more wearable articles;

determining a listed amount for the selected wearable article based on the received wearable article data, wherein the listed amount includes a current valuation corresponding to the selected wearable article;

determining a borrow period to borrow the selected wearable article and a borrow amount based on the determined listed amount;

determining a daily amount to keep the borrowed wearable article longer than the borrow period, the daily amount determined in real-time via an API call by a valuation microservice based on the determined listed amount, wherein the daily amount is for each day exceeding the borrow period;

as a result of determining that the selected wearable article has been borrowed, monitoring the borrowed wearable article to determine whether a return notification for the borrowed wearable article has been received within the borrow period;

determining a purchase amount for the selected wearable article based on the listed amount;

determining that the return notification for the borrowed wearable article has not been received by an end of the borrow period;

calculating an accrued amount based on the determined daily amount and a number of days following the end of the borrow period;

determining a discounted purchase amount for the selected wearable article by subtracting the accrued amount from the determined purchase amount;

determining whether a sum of the discounted purchase amount and the borrow amount exceeds a predetermined proportion of the listed amount; and

in response to determining that the sum of the discounted purchase amount and the borrow amount exceeds the predetermined proportion of the listed amount, displaying an article status notification to the user indicating that the selected wearable article is available for permanent use.

8. The computer system of claim 7 , the functions further including:
