Abstract
The disclosed technology provides for incentivizing a user to pick up an order at an fulfillment location. A method can include receiving, at a mobile device, information for picking up an order at a fulfillment location and and incentization information from a server system, where the incentivization information includes information for an incentive associated with picking up the order at the fulfillment location during an incentivization window. The method can include changing a display of the computing device to display information for picking up the order during the incentivization window, receiving a second communication from the computing device indicating that the computing device has arrived at the fulfillment location, and changing the display of the computing device to display a confirmation of the incentivization information based on whether the particular timepoint at which the computing device arrived at the fulfillment location is within the incentivization window.
