Abstract

A system and method of presenting selectable checkout options for an item listing on a single page. A single page for an item listing is caused to be displayed on a device. The single page comprises a selectable item identifier for an item and a plurality of selectable checkout options for the item. The plurality of selectable checkout options comprises different types of selectable checkout options. An indication of a selection of the item identifier and an indication of a selection of one of the selectable checkout options are received. A visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier and a visual representation of the selection of one of the selectable checkout options are causes to be displayed on the single page. A visual representation for each of the selected checkout options are displayed as being attached to the visual representation of the selected item identifier.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a checkout option display module, executable by the at least one processor, configured to;

cause to be displayed, on a device, a single page for an item listing, the single page comprising a selectable item identifier for enabling a user to select an item for purchase from the item listing and a plurality of selectable checkout options for the item, the plurality of selectable checkout options comprising different types of selectable checkout options, the selectable checkout options for the item comprising at least one selectable payment instrument option;

receive an indication of a selection of the item identifier and an indication of a selection of one of the selectable checkout options, the selection of the item identifier being indicated by an interaction with the item identifier by the user, and the selection of the one of the selectable checkout options being indicated by an interaction with the one of the selectable checkout options by the user;

cause to be displayed, on the single web page, movement of the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier and movement of the visual representation of the selection of one of the selectable checkout options in response to user input; and

cause a visual representation for each of the selectable checkout options that are selected to be displayed on the single page and to be displayed as being attached to the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier, the visual representation of the selectable item identifier and the visual representation of the one of the selectable checkout options being separate representations from the item identifier and the one of the selectable checkout options, movement of the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier along a path on the single page being matched by a corresponding movement of the visual representation for each of the selectable checkout options that are selected, the corresponding movement of the visual representations for each of the selectable checkout options that are selected being along the same path on the single page as the movement of the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier,

wherein the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier comprises an icon of the selected item identifier which is displayed upon the user selecting the item for purchase from the item listing and the visual representation of the selection of one of the selectable checkout options comprises an icon of the selected checkout option such that upon selection of the selectable item identifier, the icon of the selected item identifier moves along the path on the single page and upon selection of the selected checkout option, the icon of the selected checkout option is attached adjacent to the icon of the selected item identifier and moves along the path on the single page.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the selectable checkout options for the item further comprise at least one selectable billing address option and at least one selectable shipping address option.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the checkout option display module is further configured to cause at least one of the selectable checkout options to be unavailable for selection in response to a different one of the selectable checkout options being selected, the different one of the selectable checkout options being of a different type than the at least one of the selectable checkout options being caused to be unavailable for selection.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the checkout option display module is further configured to generate the single page using checkout options presented over multiple web pages of a checkout process for an item listing, each one of the checkout options presented over the multiple web pages being used to generate a corresponding one of the selectable checkout options.

5. A computer-implemented method comprising:

causing to be displayed, on a device, a single page for an item listing, the single page comprising a selectable item identifier for enabling a user to select an item for purchase from the item listing and a plurality of selectable checkout options for the item, the plurality of selectable checkout options comprising different types of selectable checkout options, the selectable checkout options for the item comprising at least one selectable payment instrument option;

receiving an indication of a selection of the item identifier and an indication of a selection of one of the selectable checkout options, the selection of the item identifier being indicated by an interaction with the item identifier by the user, and the selection of the one of the selectable checkout options being indicated by an interaction with the one of the selectable checkout options by the user;

causing to be displayed, on the single page, a visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier and a visual representation of the selection of one of the selectable checkout options;

causing to be displayed, on the single page, movement of the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier and movement of the visual representation of the selection of one of the selectable checkout options in response to user input; and

causing a visual representation for each of the selectable checkout options that are selected to be displayed on the single page and to be displayed as being attached to the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier, the visual representation of the selectable item identifier and the visual representation of the one of the selectable checkout options being separate representations from the item identifier and the one of the selectable checkout options, movement of the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier along a path on the single page being matched by a corresponding movement of the visual representation for each of the selectable checkout options that are selected, the corresponding movement of the visual representations for each of the selectable checkout options that are selected being along the same path on the single page as the movement of the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier,

wherein the visual representation of the selection of the selectable item identifier comprises an icon of the selected item identifier which is displayed upon the user selecting the item for purchase from the item listing and the visual representation of the selection of one of the selectable checkout options comprises an icon of the selected checkout option such that upon selection of the selectable item identifier, the icon of the selected item identifier moves along the path on the single page and upon selection of the selected checkout option, the icon of the selected checkout option is attached adjacent to the icon of the selected item identifier and moves along the path on the single page.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the selectable checkout options for the item further comprise at least one selectable billing address option and at least one selectable shipping address option.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising causing at least one of the selectable checkout options to be unavailable for selection in response to a different one of the selectable checkout options being selected, the different one of the selectable checkout options being of a different type than the at least one of the selectable checkout options being caused to be unavailable for selection.

8. The method of claim 5, further comprising generating the single page using checkout options presented over multiple web pages of a checkout process for an item listing, each one of the checkout options presented over the multiple web pages being used to generate a corresponding one of the selectable checkout options.
