For details in this regard, refer to the foregoing description.

In step S730, the electronic device may check first information related to a price corresponding to an item selected by the user from among at least one item of interest. Here, the first information may include a scheduled payment price and discount information corresponding to an item selected by the user from among items of interest.

In step S740, the electronic device may provide a cart page displaying information related to the identified name and option in a corresponding area and displaying the first information in an area adjacent to the purchase icon.

Here, the cart page may display information related to a name and options displayed in the same area in the item detail page and displayed in a different area. For example, even if a name and an option are displayed in the same area on an item detail page, the electronic device may distinguish the name and option and display them in different areas of the cart page.

Alternatively, the electronic device may display information related to the name and options in the same area or in separate areas according to the comparison between the number of texts of the name and options and a reference value. For example, if information related to a name and options is displayed in the same area on an item detail page and the number of texts for it is greater than or equal to a reference value, the electronic device may display the related information in a separate area on the cart page, unlike the item detail page. can For another example, if information related to the name and options is displayed in the same area on the item detail page and the number of texts for this is smaller than the reference value, the electronic device may display the information related to the name and options in the same area on the cart page as well. there is.

Also, when the buy icon displayed on the cart page is selected, the electronic device may provide a bottom page displaying second information including the first information while overlapping with a partial area of the cart page. At this time, the second information is information on the delivery price of the item, information on services provided to users (buyers) who have subscribed to a specific service, information on points provided when purchasing, and additional information when paying using a specific payment method. It may include at least one of information about the applied discount price and first information. Here, the specific payment method may be characterized in that it is matched with a payment method previously registered by the user among a plurality of payment methods to which a discount can be applied to at least one item. If there are a plurality of matching payment methods, the electronic device may identify and display a payment method having the largest additional discounted price among the plurality of payment methods.

Also, the electronic device may check a category corresponding to the item selected by the user from among items of interest, and display delivery information based on the category. Specifically, when an item corresponding to a plurality of categories is selected by the user, the electronic device may manage the layout of the cart page so that each item is classified according to category. For example, the electronic device may manage the layout of the cart page so that items corresponding to a first category are displayed and items corresponding to a second category are displayed. In this case, the electronic device may manage the layout of the cart page to display related delivery information together in an area displaying a category corresponding to each item without displaying delivery information for each item.
