Abstract

A gift transaction system with a buyer interface is disclosed. The buyer interface facilitates personalization by a buyer of a gift package to send to a recipient. A method of operating a gift transaction system with the buyer interface includes: determining gift intent of a buyer account to send a gift item in a gift transaction; generating a buyer gift interface to receive a recipient contact entry of a recipient in response to the determined gift intent; generating an interactive gift notification to the recipient contact entry to receive a confirmation of the gift transaction; and sending a notification to a merchant store to ship a gift package to the recipient in response to receiving the confirmation.
