Abstract:
1. A virtual shopping mall management system for supporting a transaction between a member store in a virtual shopping mall and a member and performing a process of modifying order information, comprising: a modified information receiving unit that receives modified information on the order information from a terminal of the member store, after a notice of acceptance of the order information has been transmitted to a terminal of the member; a calculation unit that calculates a difference between a first charge amount before modification on the order and a second charge amount after the modification on the order; a change approval request mail transmitting unit that transmits an electronic mail for requesting approval of the modified information to the terminal of the member, when the difference between the first charge amount and the second charge amount exceeds a threshold amount, and omits transmission of the electronic mail for requesting approval of the modified information to the terminal of the member, when the difference between the first charge amount and the second charge amount does not exceed the threshold amount such that communication and processing load on a server of the virtual shopping mall management system is reduced; an approval/disapproval information receiving unit that receives approval information on the change from the terminal of the member; and an order determining unit that determines modification of the order information when the approval/disapproval information receiving unit receives approval information; wherein the virtual shopping mall management system, in response to the received approval information, automatically and directly requests a predetermined settlement institute, by bypassing any communication with the terminal of the member store, to perform a settlement process related to the transaction upon receiving approval information from the terminal of the member such that communication and processing load on the server of the virtual shopping mall management system is reduced, wherein when the order information is modified on a modification page at the terminal of the member store and a selection to store the modified order information is selected on the modification page. the virtual shopping mall management system transmits a settlement request page to the terminal of the member store to be displayed. and wherein when a selection requesting for the settlement process is selected on the settlement request page at the terminal of the member store, the change approval request mail transmitting unit transmits the electronic mail for requesting approval, when the difference between the first charge amount and the second charge amount exceeds the threshold amount, and the virtual shopping mall management system immediately requests the predetermined settlement institute to perform the settlement process without receiving the member's approval, when the difference does not exceed the threshold amount.
