Original Abstract Submitted
A server apparatus receives item identification information generated based on an item from a terminal apparatus, and generates a list of items to be purchased based on the received item identification information. Also, when receiving a quantity change request of an item included in the list of items to be purchased, the server apparatus determines whether or not a subject item of the quantity change request is an item prohibited to change a quantity, and transmits information indicating that the quantity is unchangeable to the terminal apparatus when the subject item of the quantity change request is the item prohibited to change the quantity.
