Abstract

A gift transaction system and method to enable a gift-giver to provide a gift-receiver with a range of brands and categories across multiple vendors to choose from. The gift transaction system creates a gift board for the gift-receiver based on the information provided by the gift-giver. The gift board integrates an array of products, services, and lifestyle items manually selected by the gift-giver from multiple vendors. The gift transaction system digitally transmits the gift board to the gift receiver. The gift-receiver can hop from vendor site to vendor site with each click on the gift board and make selections, and create a shortlist on a toolbar provided on the digital page. Once the gift-receiver places his/her finalized gift order, the gift transaction system executes the order, and pays the vendors—and upon completion, the gift-receiver will be notified of the delivery.
