Tandem purchasing and incentivized shopping
Tandem transactions facilitated through automatic application of a tandem transaction limit are provided. A system includes a group manager that identifies a group including respective identifications indicative of a first user and a second user. A transaction limit manager establishes a first transaction limit for the first user, a second transaction limit for the second user, and a third transaction limit for a combination of the first and second user. A transaction manager dynamically applies the third transaction limit based on a determination that the first and second user are performing a joint transaction. The transaction manager revokes the third transaction limit after a threshold time and applies the first transaction limit to first user transactions and the second transaction limit to second user transactions. Incentives are provided if a user remains at a location for a threshold amount of time or causes other users to visit the location.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, an indication that a device associated with a first user has entered a defined geographic area;
outputting, by the system, a first incentive to the first user through the device, wherein the first incentive includes details related to a first action that results in a second incentive;
providing, by the system, the second incentive to the first user based on a determination that the first action has been satisfied;
determining, by the system and based on a current location of the first user, a second user identified as being related to the first user;
receiving, by the system, a second indication that another device associated with a second user has entered the defined geographic area within a predetermined amount of time; and
in response to receiving the second indication, providing, by the system, a third incentive to the first user.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the current location of the first user is determined based in part on data received from a social network application.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a location of the second user based in part on data received from a social network application.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first action relates to one of a temporal aspect or a social aspect.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the temporal aspect is the first user passing a temporal threshold while within the defined geographic area.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first incentive is a monetary reward associated with the defined geographic area.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second incentive is a monetary reward associated with the defined geographic area.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second incentive is greater than the first incentive.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the third incentive is greater than both the first incentive and the second incentive.
10. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive an indication that a device associated with a first user has entered a defined geographic area;
output a first incentive to the first user through the device, wherein the first incentive includes details related to a first action that results in a second incentive;
provide the second incentive to the first user based on a determination that the first action has been satisfied;
determine, based in part on a current location of the first user, a second user identified as being related to the first user;
receive a second indication that another device associated with a second user has entered the defined geographic area within a predetermined amount of time; and
in response to receiving the second indication, provide a third incentive to the first user.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the current location of the first user is determined based in part on data received from a social network application.
12. The system of claim 10 , further comprising determining a location of the second user based in part on data received from a social network application.
13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first action relates to one of a temporal aspect or a social aspect.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the temporal aspect is the first user passing a temporal threshold while within the defined geographic area.
15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first incentive is a monetary reward associated with the defined geographic area.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the second incentive is a monetary reward associated with the defined geographic area.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the second incentive is greater than the first incentive.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the third incentive is greater than both the first incentive and the second incentive.
19. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code that when executed by one or more processors is configured to cause the one or more processors to:
receive an indication that a device associated with a first user has entered a defined geographic area;
output a first incentive to the first user through the device, wherein the first incentive includes details related to a first action that results in a second incentive;
provide the second incentive to the first user based on a determination that the first action has been satisfied;
determine, based in part on a current location of the first user, a second user identified as being related to the first user;
receive a second indication that another device associated with a second user has entered the defined geographic area within a predetermined amount of time; and
in response to receiving the second indication, provide a third incentive to the first user.
20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the current location of the first user is determined based in part on data received from a social network application.
