Claim 14:
15. A method, comprising:
detecting, by a device, entry of a first user device into a merchant area by determining that a location of the first user device is within a geofence associated with a geographic area of the merchant area,
wherein the geofence is defined by a plurality of location coordinates,
the plurality of location coordinates including latitude and longitude coordinates,

wherein the first user device is associated with a first user,
wherein the geographic area of the merchant area is associated with a merchant, and

transmitting, by the device, a first notification or a second notification based on the duration of the first user,
wherein transmitting the first notification or the second notification comprises:
when the duration satisfies a threshold value, transmitting the first notification to a second user device based on an election by the first user to share information with the second user device; and
when the duration does not satisfy the threshold value, transmitting the second notification to the second user device upon detecting location coordinates of the second user device into the geofence,
wherein the second notification providing information relating to a sale for the merchant.
