Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling gifting of a gift product on a merchant store front determine eligibility of an abstract product available for purchase on the merchant store front to be selected as a gift product, the abstract product representing a set of all available SKUs for a given product, a gift product representing a subset of all available SKUs for a given abstract product, and the subset including less than all available SKUs for the given abstract product and greater than one available SKU for the given abstract product; generate and place an embedded widget on the merchant store front to determine gift intent to initiate a gift transaction of the gift product; assign at least one representative SKU to represent the gift product; and mimic an orchestrated transaction between a user and the merchant store front prior to final selection of a specific SKU of the gift product.
