Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using wireless beacons to manage shopping lists. One of the methods includes receiving, from a user, a selection of one or more items available for purchase at a physical store location of a store. A user device receives a signal from a wireless beacon installed in a particular section of the physical store location, wherein the signal emitted by the wireless beacon identifies the particular section of the store. If one or more items in the shopping list are located in the particular section, the one or more identified items that are located in the particular section are presented on a display device of the user device such that they appear above one or more items in the shopping list data that are not located in the particular section.
