Abstract

In some examples, a computing device may receive, from a first user device, a communication indicating a request to create a combined order for items offered by one or more merchants. For example, the combined order may enable a plurality of users to independently purchase individual ones of the items from the one or more merchants. The combined order may be created having an initial condition and may be accessible by the plurality of users for adding items to the combined order. At least one selection of a respective item may be received from each user of the plurality of users. For instance, each selection may change the condition of the combined order. In addition, the computing device may process the items added to the combined order as a single order to perform at least one action.
