Crowd-sourced activity processing

1. A method, comprising:

providing, by a cloud server, a crowd-sourced shopping social media platform as a service that is available to users through user interfaces of mobile applications or browsers on user-operated devices;

registering, by the cloud server, the users for access to the crowd-sourced shopping social media platform;

receiving, by the cloud server, a shopping activity defined by a first user through a first user interface to the crowd-sourced shopping social media platform;

defining, by the cloud server, a customized community for participation in the shopping activity;

receiving, by the cloud server, orders from second users through the second user interfaces, wherein receiving the orders further includes limiting a total purchase amount each order that is permissible based on shopping visit restrictions defined by the first user for the shopping activity;

providing, by the cloud server, the orders of the second users to the first user;

facilitating, by the cloud server, payments and deliveries associated with the orders to the first user through the customized community of the crowd-sourced shopping social media platform when the first user completes the shopping activity at a store, wherein facilitating further includes receiving, by the cloud server, a transaction receipt from the first user through the first user interface, obtaining, by the cloud server, a customer identifier from the transaction receipt for the first user, linking, by the cloud server, the orders for the shopping activity to the first user based on the customer identifier, generating, by the cloud server, a separate receipt for each second user based on the corresponding order associated with the corresponding second user, providing, by the cloud server, the separate receipts to the first user through the first user interface, and providing, by the cloud server, each separate receipt to the corresponding second user through the corresponding second user interface; and

delivering, by the cloud server, a token defining each second user's order to a terminal associated with the store causing the terminal to send an individualized receipt to each second user based on the corresponding order when the first user pays for a single aggregated order that includes a first user's order and the orders from the second users at the terminal of the store.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the crowd-sourced shopping social media platform further includes providing the service as an integrated service of an existing social media platform.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the orders further includes obtaining a confirmation acceptance from the first user for each order.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the orders further includes limiting a total number of the second users based on a threshold defined by the first user for the shopping activity.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the orders further includes setting conditions for the orders through feedback of the second users and the first user interacting through the first user interface and the second user interfaces on the crowd-sourced shopping social media platform.

6. A system, comprising:

a cloud server that comprises a processor; and

the processor executes instructions that cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

providing a crowd-sourced shopping social media platform as a service that is available to users through an existing social media platform through an application programming interface (API);

registering first users through a first user interface activated by the API on first user operated devices;

interacting with a certain first user to defining a shopping activity planned by the certain first user through the first user interface;

permitting other second users to hitch onto the shopping activity of the certain first user and provide orders for the shopping activity through second user interfaces activated by the API on second user operated devices, wherein permitting further includes further includes limiting a total purchase amount each order that is permissible based on shopping visit restrictions defined by the certain first user for the shopping activity;

facilitating payments and deliveries of the orders through the crowd-sourced shopping social media platform to the other second users when the certain first user completes the shopping activity at a store based on the crow-sourced social media platform detecting the certain first use completed the shopping activity, wherein facilitating further includes receiving a transaction receipt from the certain first user through the first user interface, obtaining, a customer identifier from the transaction receipt for the certain first user, linking the orders for the shopping activity to the certain first user based on the customer identifier, generating a separate receipt for each second user based on the corresponding order associated with the corresponding second user, providing the separate receipts to the certain first user through the first user interface, and providing each separate receipt to the corresponding second user through the corresponding second user interface; and

delivering a token defining each second user's order to a terminal associated with the store causing the terminal to send an individualized receipt to each second user based on the corresponding order when the certain first user pays for a single aggregated order that includes a certain user's order and the orders from the second users at the terminal of the store.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the operations associated with permitting further include enforcing shopping visit restrictions or a threshold defined by the certain first user for the orders of the crowd-sourced shopping social media platform with the other second users before accepting the corresponding orders for the shopping activity.
