SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ELECTRONIC NEWSFEED USER INTERFACES

Abstract:

Systems, apparatus, and methods for providing local promotions are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include an apparatus, such as a server or distributed servers, including processing circuitry configured to provide an electronic newsfeed to consumer devices based on tracking consumer device location. For example, the processing circuitry may be connected with merchant devices and consumer devices via a network. The processing circuitry may transmit an electronic newsfeed user interface to a consumer device, determine a real-time consumer device location, determine whether the real-time consumer device location is within a predetermined distance of a merchant location associated with a merchant account, and in response to determining that the real-time consumer device location is within a predetermined distance of the merchant location, update the electronic newsfeed user interface.
