DYNAMIC GENERATION OF LOCATION-SPECIFIC USER INTERFACES

Abstract:

Systems and methods for modifying features of a user interface of an online store in a manner based on a location of a customer are provided. The preferences for the features are identified for various geographical regions. The modification may be performed in real time, in the sense that the modification is not performed until a customer from a different region attempts to access the store. When this happens, the features of the online store are modified based on preferences or trends associated with a geographical region within which the customer is located, and a revised user interface is presented to the customer. The overall effect is that the store with the new revised user interface emulates stores created by merchants native to the customer's region.
