Since there are many types of product webpages for displaying products that can be purchased by clicking on them, and they are not the focus of this new model improvement, they will not be described in detail.

For the convenience of description, only the group buying of one of the products in the product webpage will be taken as an example below.

The group purchase management module 4 includes a group purchase initiation unit 41 , a group purchase management unit 42 , and a group purchase selection unit 43 . When a consumer logs in with a consumer account and purchases one of the commodities on the commodity webpage, the group purchase initiation unit 41 will display an inquiry page on the commodity webpage to ask whether to initiate a group purchase for the commodity , and will jump to a group buying web page corresponding to the product when an option to initiate a group buying in the inquiry page is clicked.
