1. A method of accessing one of a plurality of shopping related functions via a multi-panel user interface, the method comprising:
- displaying a single expanded panel of a multi-panel user shopping interface on an electronic display of a computing device;
displaying a plurality of collapsed panels of the multi-panel user shopping interface on the electronic display, wherein at least one of the plurality of collapsed panels includes an icon to facilitate performing a shopping-related function; and
receiving an indication of a user selection of the icon and in response thereto;
determining with the computing device a shopping-related function from the plurality of shopping-related functions based on an association of the icon and the shopping-related function; and

15. A multi-panel user interface, comprising:
-
a single expanded panel disposed on an electronic display of a computing device; a plurality of collapsed panels disposed substantially aligned with the single expanded panel on the electronic display, wherein a first region of the plurality of collapsed panels is adapted to cause a collapsed panel to expand and the expanded panel to collapse in response to a user selection of the first region; an icon disposed on one of the collapsed panels, wherein the icon is associated with a shopping related function; a data set of shopping related functions that facilitates associating the icon with a shopping related function; and a set of computer instructions for causing the computing device to execute a shopping related function that is associated with the icon without causing the one of the collapsed panels to expand in response to a user selection of the icon.
