Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant. One or more in-store customers located at the merchant are identified. The one or more in-store customers are filtered based on courier qualification criteria.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computing system, notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant;

identifying, by the computing system, one or more in-store customers located at the merchant; and

filtering, by the computer system, the one or more in-store customers based on courier qualification criteria.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a social graph limitation.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a courier rating limitation.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising filtering the one or more delivery orders based on delivery qualification criteria.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, wherein the delivery qualification criteria comprise a geographic limitation.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, wherein the delivery qualification criteria comprise at least one of:

a social graph limitation, a remote customer rating limitation, or a product-based limitation.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, further comprising ranking the one or more delivery orders based on the delivery qualification criteria.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising providing a filtered, ranked subset of the one or more delivery orders to the one or more in-store customers.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising ranking the one or more in-store customers based on the courier qualification criteria.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising assigning one of the one or more in-store customers to deliver at least one of the one or more delivery orders based on the filtering and the ranking of the one or more in-store customers.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform;

receiving notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant;

identifying one or more in-store customers located at the merchant; and

filtering the one or more in-store customers based on courier qualification criteria.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a social graph limitation.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the method further comprises filtering the one or more delivery orders based on delivery qualification criteria.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the method further comprises ranking the one or more in-store customers based on the courier qualification criteria.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the method further comprises assigning one of the one or more in-store customers to deliver at least one of the one or more delivery orders based on the filtering and the ranking of the one or more in-store customers.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

receiving notification of one or more delivery orders made with a merchant;

identifying one or more in-store customers located at the merchant; and

filtering the one or more in-store customers based on courier qualification criteria.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the courier qualification criteria comprise a social graph limitation.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the method further comprises filtering the one or more delivery orders based on delivery qualification criteria.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the method further comprises ranking the one or more in-store customers based on the courier qualification criteria.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the method further comprises assigning one of the one or more in-store customers to deliver at least one of the one or more delivery orders based on the filtering and the ranking of the one or more in-store customers.
