Abstract
Sever-based order persistence and/or fulfillment is described herein. Server(s) associated with a payment processing service may receive, from a first point-of-sale (POS) device located at a first physical location of a merchant, a record identifying an item that a customer intends to purchase from the merchant. The server(s) may change an inventory status of a data item corresponding to the item in an inventory data structure associated with an inventory of the merchant to indicate that the item is reserved for the customer. Subsequently, the server(s) may receive, from a second POS device remotely located from the first POS device, a request for the item and may determine that the inventory status of the data item indicates that the item is reserved for the customer. The server(s) may manage the inventory such to enable the merchant to determine how to fulfill the multiple requests from multiple disparately located customers.
