Systems, apparatus, and methods for providing an interactive self-service interface for receiving selection of selectable location indicators and generating an impression object based on the selection

Abstract

Systems, apparatus, and methods for providing an interactive self-service interface with selectable location indicators are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include an apparatus or distributed apparatuses including processing circuitry configured to provide an interactive self-service merchant interface to a merchant device. The interactive self-service merchant interface may be configured to receive at least one selection of one or more selectable merchant location indicators associated with a merchant account. The processing circuitry may be configured to generate an impression object based at least in part on the at least one selection of the one or more selectable merchant location indicators, determine a real-time consumer device location associated with a consumer device, and transmit the impression object to the consumer device.
