Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method for completing an online purchase via a fundraiser implemented online. This allows for an efficient manner of receiving donations to provide funds for a desired purchase, where each donation may be directly channeled to the purchase balance. Once the balance is met, the purchase may be automatically effected. For example, a computer-implemented method for effecting a purchase, configured according to the invention, provides, in electronic digital form, a user interface to initiate a fundraiser to provide funds for the purchase. Upon receiving, in electronic digital form, a user input via the user interface, a fundraiser structure, in electronic digital form, may be created based on the user input to enable receipt of a donation to pay for a portion of the purchase.
