Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for programmatically generating and/or revising deal offers for a merchant based on one or more merchant self-service indicators. In providing such functionality, the system can be configured to, for example, facilitate registration and verification of merchant identities, monitor and analyze various deal offers for merchants with similar merchant self-service indicators, that enable the system to determine the relative successfulness of a deal offer for a merchant and/or category of merchant. In some embodiments, the system may be further configured to revise the deal offer programmatically and/or upon receiving the merchant's approval of the programmatically generated proposed edits to the deal offer.

Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for providing a self-service interface

Embodiments provide a computer-executable method, computer system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for programmatically analyzing a consumer review. The method includes programmatically accessing, via a network device, one or more consumer reviews for a commercial entity or a commercial object. The method also includes executing a consumer review processing engine to programmatically identify an attribute descriptor in the one or more consumer reviews, and executing the consumer review processing engine to programmatically generate a sentiment score associated with the one or more consumer reviews. The method further includes storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable storage device, the attribute descriptor and the sentiment score in association with the commercial entity or the commercial object.

Method and system for programmatic analysis of consumer reviews

Embodiments provide a computer-executable method, computer system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for programmatically processing text information to generate attribute descriptors contained therein. The method includes programmatically accessing, via a network device, a textual unit, the textual unit associated with a commercial entity or a commercial object. The method also includes executing a text processing engine to programmatically generate an attribute descriptor from the textual unit. The method further includes storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable storage device, the attribute descriptor in association with identification of the commercial entity or the commercial object.

System and method for programmatic generation of attribute descriptors

System, methods, and computer program products are provided herein for supporting electronic testing. An example of a method includes receiving a first electronic inquiry, determining parameters of the market analysis test based at least in part on the first electronic inquiry, determining a first configuration change for at least one first merchant device based at least in part on the parameters of the market analysis test, transmitting the first configuration change to the at least one first merchant device to initiate a change in configuration of the at least one first merchant device, receiving electronic marketing information comprising first electronic data related to the first configuration change, determining a correlation between at least one of the parameters of the market analysis test and the electronic marketing information, and transmitting an electronic notification of the correlation to a first merchant associated with the at least one first merchant device.

Method and apparatus for providing automated market analysis testing

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to improve utilization of fine print for a document. An example method includes receiving information identifying a location and a domain associated with the document, and identifying, based on the received location and domain, a set of fine print clause data structures relevant to the location and the domain. The method further includes transmitting an indication of the set of identified fine print clause data structures to the developer device, and receiving an indication of a selection of a subset of the set of fine print data structures. Finally, the method includes causing generation of a visual representation of the document that displays fine print clauses corresponding to the subset, wherein the location of the fine print clauses in the visual representation is based on a categorization of the fine print clause data structures corresponding to the fine print clauses.

Structured fine print

Provided herein are system, methods and computer readable storage media in facilitating the determination of provider parameters, such as a provider margin, for a promotion of the provider's goods, services, and/or the like in an agreement between the provider, also known as a merchant, and a promotion and marketing service that is configured to illustrate or otherwise inform consumers of the availability of one or more instruments for a promotion. In providing such functionality, the system may be configured to, for example, receive provider characteristic data, determine historical provider information, receive provider promotion structure data, determine a provider profile, determine a positive return on investment threshold, and transmit a provider parameter.

Method for determining provider parameters including a provider margin

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to improve generation of fine print for promotions. The method includes receiving identifying information that identifies one or more locations and either a product or service, transmitting the identifying information, and receiving, based on the identifying information, information including a set of relevant fine print clause data structures. The method further includes displaying, by a user interface, one or more fine print clauses from the relevant fine print clause data structures and generating, using a processor, a configured fine print data structure based on the displayed fine print clauses and input received via the user interface. Finally, the method includes transmitting the configured fine print data structure. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Fine print builder

Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for programmatically generating and/or revising promotion offers for a merchant based on one or more merchant self-service indicators. In providing such functionality, the system can be configured to, for example, facilitate registration and verification of merchant identities, determine promotion content and parameters based on merchant self-service indicators, and monitor and analyze promotion offers for merchants with similar merchant self-service indicators. The system may determine the relative successfulness of a promotion offer for a merchant and/or category of merchant. In some embodiments, the system may be further configured to revise the promotion offer programmatically and/or upon receiving the merchant's approval of the programmatically generated proposed edits to the promotion offer.

The method, apparatus and computer program product described herein is configured to train and deploy a predictive model that is configured to generate a predicted ROI value for a provider with respect to a current promotion or a future promotion. An example embodiment may comprise receiving input indicative of one or more attributes of a provider or a promotion. The example embodiment may further comprise generating at least one of a predicted return on investment (ROI) value or a predicted ROI component value based at least in part on the one or more attributes of the provider or the promotion and a ROI prediction model. The method may further still comprise generating a merchant impact report including the at least one of the predicted ROI value or the predicted ROI component value for the promotion.

Method and apparatus for return on investment impact reporting

The unified payment system, product and method provide an effective and efficient way to better communicate to a merchant the value of running a promotion and determine a deal structure that works for the merchant, the customer, the promotion system, or any combination thereof. The unified payment system, product and method provide real-time ROI calculations that a merchant and sales representative can collaboratively simultaneously work on to identify a deal structure for the merchant to select. In this way, the merchant and sales representative may arrive at a mutually acceptable payment plan.
