Claim 0:
1. A method, performed by a browser application running in a communicable client computing device of a user through a callable routine set of one or more routines callable by the browser application, for automating an in-context delivery of one or more benefit-conveying (BC) codes of an e-commerce site when the user is performing an online shopping session through a series of web pages provided by, or otherwise affiliated with, the e-commerce site using the browser application, the client computing device comprising a processor, a memory, and a network interface device for communication through one or more communication networks, the client computing device communicable with a backend server of a BC aggregator entity having access to one or more databases aggregating and storing BC codes of a plurality of e-commerce sites, the method comprising steps of:
identifying, through calling one or more routines of the callable routine set, a current web page as a BC context for the e-commerce site displayed by the browser application during the online shopping session, the current web page containing such content about a current purchase order made during the online shopping session that the current web page is identified as the BC context including a BC code input field as well as a first user interface (UI) button disposed there-adjacent and configured to, when being acted on, cause an application of a contemporaneous BC code deemed entered there-inside against the e-commerce site;
creating and displaying, through calling one or more routines of the callable routine set, at least one attention-catching user interface (UI) element having at least one visual item identifying the BC aggregator entity and indicating to the user that the at least one attention-catching UI element is provided by the BC aggregator entity to catch attention of the user and make the user aware of potential benefit-receiving operation materialized through a use of the BC code input field triggered by the user acting on an actionable UI element associated with the at least one attention-catching UI element; and
receiving, in response to the BC context being identified, through calling one or more routines of the callable routine set, one or more BC codes of the e-commerce site from the backend server, and causing, in response to the first UI button being acted on, at least one of the received one or more BC codes being applied against the e-commerce site for receiving potential benefits applicable to the current purchase order through the use of the BC code input field.
