Abstract
Described herein are techniques for initiating item fulfillment at least partly in response to the users performing gestures on touchscreens of client devices. For instance, a user may operate a client device that renders content associated with an item offered by an offering service. The user may thereafter request to acquire the item by performing a gesture on a touchscreen of the client device. The offering service may receive the request and a representation of the gesture and, in response, may determine whether or not to initiate fulfillment of the item at least partly with reference to the received representation of the gesture.
