    Abstract: A pickup location may be enabled to continue to operate when communication over a network is not available. When communication is not available, a pickup location may not be able to send a confirmation that a user has dropped off an item for a return or to send a request to have the item retrieved by a carrier. The pickup location may be enabled to assign a stored access code that was previously sent to a carrier and which will allow the item to be retrieved by the carrier who has arrived at the pickup location for reasons other than a request to retrieve the item. A retrieval confirmation from the carrier may be utilized to allow a refund or replacement process to be initiated, and to update capacity information for the pickup location, if the carrier meets a certain confidence threshold requirement based on past performance.

    Abstract: Content such as a customized advertisement or message may be presented to a user at a pickup location. The content may be presented utilizing an audiovisual or other device of the pickup location, or on a user's mobile device when the user arrives at the pickup location. An advertisement that is presented to the user may be selected based on factors such as past purchases made by the user, a current item in an order or an item available for purchase in a store that is near the pickup location. A message that is presented to the user may be from a gift purchaser who ordered an item for the user, a manufacturer or vendor of an item, or the user with a reminder for a task that is to be performed when the user is at the pickup location.

    Abstract: A pickup location may be enabled to continue to operate when communication over a network is not available by preemptively synchronizing certain data. For the delivery of an item, order data such as the expected tracking identification for an item may be sent to the pickup location before the item is delivered. An access code that will be used by the user for retrieving the item from a storage compartment at the pickup location may also be generated and synchronized between the pickup location and a remote computing resource before the item is delivered. A delivery of an item as confirmed by a carrier may be reported to a user when communication with the pickup location is unavailable if the carrier meets a certain confidence threshold requirement based on past performance.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed allowing a buyer to directly build a shopping cart(s) on a supplier's portal (such as website, applications) without initiating any shopping request from company's network or system (such as eProcurement system). A standard cXML document can be used to transmit a Punchout Order Message (POOM) address to a customer system where the POOM can be retrieved. Additionally, a buyer identifier (e.g., an email address) can be included in the cXML document so that the customer system can verify the buyer making purchases. An address is returned to the supplier's portal, which can be used by the buyer to complete the purchase. In one example, the address directs the buyer to log into the customer system to verify the purchase.
