According to an exemplary embodiment, the first interface tool set can sequentially display an item in the first list. When the first list includes a plurality of items, the electronic device 100 can sequentially allocate each of the plurality of items to the first list. For example, when the electronic device 100 determines an item in the shopping cart list to be allocated to the first list, the electronic device 100 can allocate the item to the first list based on an original order or a reverse order of the items in the shopping cart list. An order of items in a shopping cart list may be determined based on a time when an item is added to the shopping cart. An order of items in a shopping cart list may be determined based on an order of time when the items are added or a reverse order of time. According to an exemplary embodiment, the first interface tool set may display only a portion of the items in the first list. For example, an item that is not displayed may be sequentially displayed on the first interface tool set based on a user input received by the electronic device 100 from the client terminal. Alternatively, the first interface tool set may be configured to display at least some of the items in the first list frequently and/or continuously in sequence.

According to various exemplary embodiments, the electronic device 100 may combine a plurality of different references described above for determining items to be allocated to the first list or apply a plurality of references simultaneously. As an example, the electronic device 100 may only allocate an item that satisfies all of the plurality of references specified in the references described above to the first list. As another example, the electronic device 100 may allocate an item that satisfies at least one of the plurality of specified references to the first list. According to an exemplary embodiment, the electronic device 100 may set a priority in the references used to determine items to be allocated to the first list. The electronic device 100 may determine an order in which the items included in the first list are displayed in the first interface tool set based on the priorities in the references. The electronic device 100 may sequentially display the items in the first list based on the priorities in the references. For example, a delivery type reference and a delivery schedule type may be a first reference and a second reference, respectively. In this example, when a priority higher than a priority of the second reference is assigned to the first reference, and when an item in the shopping cart list that satisfies the first reference or the second reference is assigned to the first list, the electronic device 100 may assign a third item that satisfies the first reference and a fourth item that satisfies the second reference to the first list and display the third item before the fourth item in the first interface tool set.
