Abstract
Methods and systems for subscription to retail browsing sessions. While two users are independently browsing the same merchant's store in parallel, the system may enable sharing or cross-sharing of commerce event data from a first user's browsing session to be injected into the other user's browsing session, so that the other user may follow along with the first user's browsing activity. The sharing may be dependent upon the first user enabling a live browse event and the other user subscribing to it. The sharing may be dependent upon subscribers having an active browsing session in the same merchant store as the first user's browsing session. To the extent that a subscribing user navigates to a different merchant or store, the sharing of commerce event data may be stopped or reduced to reflect the fact that the two users are no longer browsing the same merchant location in parallel.
