For example, the administrator terminal 400 can change the criteria for determining the ranking among the plurality of distribution centers to the inventory quantity in the delivery subject and the delivery distance in accordance with the manager input for selecting the inventory quantity.

Subsequently, the administrator terminal 400 transmits a reference change command to the server 100 (S1085). The reference change command may include information for instructing to change, for example, a criterion for determining a rank among a plurality of distribution centers, from a delivery subject and a delivery distance to an inventory amount.

The server 100 receiving the reference change command determines the order among the plurality of distribution centers according to the changed reference (S1087). At this time, the server 100 can determine the order of the first, second and third distribution centers based on the stock quantity.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, administrator convenience can be provided by changing a criterion for determining the ranking among a plurality of distribution centers according to an administrator input.

The shopping service providing method according to the embodiments can be implemented as a computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like.
