Abstract
Disclosed is e-commerce processing for an event-centric online shopping transaction. The e-commerce processing involves receiving an identification or selection of an event from a device of a customer, and the disclosed methods and systems use the identified and/or selected event to populate, without item-related input from the customer, an online shopping cart with items for purchase in an e-commerce computing environment. The e-commerce processing can be accomplished without any party to the transaction having to add items to the online shopping cart on an item-by-item basis.
