==Original Abstract Submitted==

techniques are described herein for effectuating a transaction by an intermediary. an example method can include receiving a first message from a second device, the first message comprising a request for a first item, wherein the first message is received by a backend process executing on the first device. a second message that includes a request for a first information associated with the first item, can be transmitted. a third message comprising the first information associated with the first item can be received. a fourth message comprising a request to initiate a transaction for the first item can be transmitted to a third device. a fifth message can be received from the third computing device, the fifth message comprising a confirmation of the transaction based at least in part on the fourth message.
