ABSTRACT:
A system and method for screening purchases and sorting the types of products sought to be purchased over a computer network, such as the Internet, is disclosed. The invention includes providing a user interface for a customer to access an automated seller facility, the facility having two types of product categories, unrestricted and restricted. Access to the facility takes place over a global computer network, with the user interface configured to allow the customer to enter customer data for the purpose of purchasing products from the automated seller facility. The invention next includes receiving the customer data, comprising an account number and a product order from the customer, and specifying a desired product to be purchased over the computer network. The invention further includes determining whether the product desired by the customer falls within the restricted product category, and if it does, the system provides for checking whether the customer is in fact an authorized buyer of such a restricted product. A customer authorization code is only issued if the customer is an authorized buyer of restricted products or if the desired product falls within the unrestricted product category. The authorization code therefore indicates that both the customer and the product order have been accepted to purchase the desired product. Conversely, if the customer and product order have not been accepted, the product order is rejected.
