In e-commerce, web content (such as a checkout page) may include delivery time information associated with a product. To obtain the delivery time information, the computer may send an application programming interface (API) request to the fulfillment network. However, a fulfillment network is often delayed in responding to an API request. Also, there may be data privacy concerns with this approach. Alternatively, precomputed delivery time information may be sent from the fulfillment network, but this may result in a large amount of data that must be stored. In some embodiments, a data structure may be generated that includes a product-to-schedule mapping and a set of delivery schedule tables. Each of the delivery schedule tables may be based on a respective different set of one or more categories to which multiple ones of a plurality of products map. Computer memory resources may be saved.

Systems and methods for progressively providing checkout options during a checkout transaction are provided. During a transaction process, a user interface with an options category having a set of checkout options is provided. Requests associated with the checkout options are transmitted, with at least one of the transmitted queries being transmitted to a remote third-party. One or more of the checkout options are identified as a first set of options and others are identified as a second set of options. The user interface is updated to display the first set of options and a selectable UI element prior to display of the second set of options, where all of the second set of options are hidden from display prior to selection of the selectable UI element. The checkout transaction is completable using one of the options from the first set of options without display of the second set of options.
