Abstract

The present invention relates to an opportunity-based ordering platform system. By applying the steps of the present invention, the seller'"'"'s capability is more competitive and the buyers have an opportunity to purchase goods with a lower price. The system comprises a red tag goods bidding platform, a blue tag goods redeem platform, a membership system, and a charging system. Wherein, the red tag goods bidding platform mainly provides the product catalogs, the goods bidding closing time, the interval number of the good'"'"'s bidding, and the red tag points that should be deducted when placing the bid, as well as the function for the buyers to place the bid. After the goods bidding is closed, the system searches and selects a bid order that has a unique bid interval number and assigns the owner of that bid order as both the bid winner and the lucky draw winner. The lucky draw winner can purchase the goods with only 10% of the product'"'"'s current market price. For those users that had placed their bids on the red tag area'"'"'s goods but do not win the bid, their red tag points on the bid are completely transferred to the blue tag points, which can be used to redeem the goods with equivalent value on the blue tag goods redeem platform later. The blue tag goods redeem platform mainly provides the product catalogs, the blue tag points that is required to redeem the goods, and the function for the buyers to redeem the goods. The red tag points are obtained from the charging system, in which the stored cash amount is transferred to the red tag points, and the red tag points can be directly applied on the red tag goods bidding platform and the blue tag goods redeem platform.
