Abstract
One method includes receiving information identifying multiple products or services offered by one or more vendors and a set of criteria for each vendor, identifying base content to be presented to a user, selecting one or more of the products or services based on the criteria and the base content, and sending supplemental content associated with the selected product(s) or service(s) to an endpoint associated with the user for display with the base content. Another method includes receiving a request from a vendor associated with an e-commerce website and issuing a sub-account of a merchant processing account to the vendor in response to the request. The e-commerce website is associated with a merchant having the merchant processing account allowing the merchant to perform electronic transactions with a merchant processor, and the sub-account allows the vendor to transact directly with customers and to perform electronic transactions with the merchant processor.
