Systems and methods for purchasing items using a payment processing service (PPS) that checks inventory of merchant(s) and generates interactive components displayed by a third-party platform. Inventory data for merchants is stored by the PPS. The PPS receives an indication of input to a graphical user interface (GUI) presented by the third-party platform. The input represents a desire of a customer to purchase an item from a brick-and-mortar store of a particular merchant. The PPS determines that the merchant does not have the item available but determines it is available at a similar merchant's store. The PPS generates an interactive component comprising an image of the item and a selectable control to be used to initiate purchase from the similar merchant. The interactive component is displayed via the GUI, overlaid with customer-specific item variant information. Selection of the component allows the customer to add the item to a cart.

Computer-implemented methods and system for customized interactive image collection based on customer data

Auto-generation of multi-merchant interactive image collections is described. A plurality of interactive images associated with multiple merchants can be accessed. An interactive image of the plurality of interactive images can depict one or more items offered for sale by a merchant and individual items of the one or more items can be associated with individual selectable controls. A selectable control can enable a customer to view item information associated with an individual item with which the selectable control is associated. A subset of interactive images of the plurality of interactive images can be included in an interactive image collection. The subset of interactive images can be associated with two or more merchants. The subset of interactive images can be presented via a display of a device to enable the customer to add at least the individual item to a virtual cart via an interaction with the selectable control.

Customer data can be accessed and a subset of interactive images of the plurality of interactive images can be selected based at least in part on the customer data. The subset of interactive images can comprise a personalized lookbook that can be presented via a display of a device to enable the customer to add the individual item to a virtual cart via an interaction with the selectable control.
