DYNAMICALLY DETERMINING CROSS-SELL AND UP-SELL ITEMS FOR COMPANION SHOPPERS

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for presenting a companion shopper with one or more additional items to cross-sell and/or up-sell based on selected items of a first user and a predicted checkout time for the first user. The computer-implemented method includes detecting one or more items for purchase associated with the first user, and recognizing a second user paired with the first user. The computer-implemented method further includes determining one or more additional items to present to the second user, based on one or more of the following: the detected one or more items already selected by the first user, one or more item requirements of the second user, and current pricing and available promotions. The computer-implemented method further includes presenting the determined one or more additional items to the second user.
