Abstract

Example embodiments provide a multi-currency cart and checkout. In example embodiments, a currency accepted and a payment option for each item in a multi-currency cart is identified. A plurality of currency groups is generated based on the currency and payment options, whereby each currency group comprises one or more items having a same payment option and accepting a same currency. A multi-currency checkout user interface (UI) is presented on a client device that presents the plurality of currency groups and a pay selector for each of the plurality of the currency groups. An updated multi-currency checkout UI is presented in response to processing payment for a selected one of the plurality of currency groups. The updated multi-currency UI comprises a confirmation for payment for the selected one of the plurality of currency groups and remaining currency groups of the plurality of currency groups.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

one or more hardware processors; and

a memory storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising;

determining a currency accepted for each item in a multi-currency cart;

determining a payment option for each item in the multi-currency cart;

generating a plurality of currency groups based on the currency and payment option for each item in the multi-currency cart by grouping one or more items having a same payment option in a same currency together for each currency group; and

causing presentation of a multi-currency checkout user interface (UI) on a client device, the multi-currency checkout UI presenting the plurality of currency groups generated from the multi-currency cart.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a selection of a currency group from the plurality of currency groups; and

processing payment for the selected currency group.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise:

causing presentation of an updated multi-currency checkout UI in response to completion of the processing payment for the selected currency group, the updated multi-currency UI comprising one or more remaining currency groups of the plurality of currency groups awaiting payment processing.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a selection of a currency group from the plurality of currency groups; and

in response to receiving the selection of the currency group, causing presentation of a group checkout user interface (UI) for the selected currency group, the group checkout UI removing non-selected currency groups.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the determining the currency comprises:

accessing a listing for each item; and

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the determining the currency or the payment option comprises:

accessing metadata associated with each item, the metadata indicating the currency accepted for each item or the payment option accepted for each item.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the determining the payment option comprises:

accessing a listing for each item; and

parsing the listing to detect the payment option accepted for each item.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a selection of an area of the multi-currency checkout UI associated with a currency group from the plurality of currency groups; and

in response to the selection of the area, expanding out the area of the multi-currency checkout UI associated with the selected currency group to show details of the items within the selected currency group.

9. A method comprising:

determining a currency accepted for each item in a multi-currency cart;

determining a payment option for each item in the multi-currency cart;

generating, by a hardware processor, a plurality of currency groups based on the currency and payment option for each item in the multi-currency cart by grouping one or more items having a same payment option in a same currency together for each currency group; and

causing presentation of a multi-currency checkout user interface (UI) on a client device, the multi-currency checkout UI presenting the plurality of currency groups generated from the multi-currency cart.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving a selection of a currency group from the plurality of currency groups; and

processing payment for the selected currency group.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

causing presentation of an updated multi-currency checkout UI in response to completion of the processing payment for the selected currency group, the updated multi-currency UI comprising one or more remaining currency groups of the plurality of currency groups awaiting payment processing.

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving a selection of a currency group from the plurality of currency groups; and

in response to receiving the selection of the currency group, causing presentation of a group checkout user interface (UI) for the selected currency group, the group checkout UI removing non-selected currency groups.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining the currency comprises:

accessing a listing for each item; and

parsing the listing to detect the currency accepted for each item.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining the currency or the payment option comprises:

accessing metadata associated with each item, the metadata indicating the currency accepted for each item or the payment option accepted for each item.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining the payment option comprises:

receiving a selection of an area of the multi-currency checkout UI associated with a currency group from the plurality of currency groups; and

in response to the selection of the area, expanding out the area of the multi-currency checkout UI associated with the selected currency group to show details of the items within the selected currency group.

17. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

determining a currency accepted for each item in a multi-currency cart;

determining a payment option for each item in the multi-currency cart;

generating a plurality of currency groups based on the currency and payment option for each item in the multi-currency cart by grouping one or more items having a same payment option in a same currency together for each currency group; and
