Abstract
In one example, a method includes transitioning, by a server system, from a full checkout procedure of a website to a reduced functionality checkout procedure of the website. The full checkout procedure includes calculations corresponding to a set of parameters associated with an electronic commerce transaction. The reduced functionality checkout procedure includes calculations corresponding to a subset of the parameters associated with the electronic commerce transaction. The method further includes receiving, by the server system and from a client device, a request to complete the electronic commerce transaction via the website, and in response to receiving the request to complete the electronic commerce transaction, executing, by the server system, the reduced functionality checkout procedure.

Abstract
In general, network traffic-based electronic commerce (e-commerce ) techniques are described. The techniques may potentially prevent website crashes caused by traffic spikes. An example method includes determining, by a computing device, a level of network traffic associated with accessing a website that provides one or more e-commerce capabilities, and comparing the level of network traffic against a threshold traffic level. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the level of network traffic exceeds the threshold traffic level, determining whether a purchase request received via the website identifies a limited time offer (LTO) that is currently available via the website, and when the purchase request identifies the LTO, denying the purchase request with respect to the LTO at an add-to-cart stage.

Abstract
A most recently viewed item is displayed in a display element, which is positioned next to at least one other element on a web page. The display element is expanded so that the element covers the at least one other element on the web page and so that at least one other recently viewed item appears in the display element. The display element is contracted so that only the most recently viewed item appears in the display element and so that the at least one other element on the web page is visible.

Abstract
In one example, a private profile page is displayed to a user having a user profile registered with a vendor. In this example, the private profile page includes a list of unviewed products, a product list, and information about a local retail store. As a further example, the user selects a public profile preview function and, in response, the user is presented with a preview of information associated with the user profile. In another example, a social network selection page is displayed to a user having a first profile registered with a vendor. The social network selection page includes a social network selection function for selecting a second profile of the user in a social network. In this example, the user indicates a social network and a second profile registered with the indicated social network is linked to the first profile.
