In this state, if the buyer clicks the upward arrow A1, as if one slot of the slot machine rotates downward by one turn, as shown in FIG. 4B, The displayed commodity TC is placed in the third slot S3 and the commodity P3 contained in the third slot S3 is displayed in an exchangeable form below the third slot, The commodity BC which has been displayed in an exchangeable form beneath the third slot S3 disappears and another commodity among the commodities of the list is displayed in an exchangeable form on the third slot S3. On the other hand, if the buyer clicks the downward arrow (A2), the commodity in which one slot of the slot machine appears to rotate one round up is also replaced.

FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of an electronic commodity sales service that can be performed in the electronic commodity sales system of FIG.

The electronic goods sale service shown in FIG. 1 includes: a step S110 of creating a goods list screen according to a first condition inputted by the purchaser and transmitting the created goods list screen to the purchaser; (S120) receiving a selection of a product from the buyer, creating a bundled shopping cart screen containing the selected first product in a first slot of the bundled shopping cart, and transmitting the created bundled shopping cart screen to the buyer; A step S140 of creating a product list screen displaying a discounted product and a product list contained in the first slot of the bundled shopping cart and transmitting the created product list screen to the purchaser as a product list screen according to a second condition inputted by the purchaser, ; A bundle shopping cart screen for receiving a selection of a second product from the buyer and containing the selected second item in a second slot of the bundle shopping cart, wherein a discount effect is displayed at the time of bundling with the first item contained in the first slot Creating a bundled shopping cart screen and transmitting it to the purchaser (S160); And a step S180 of performing settlement with a discounted amount in the bundle purchase according to the settlement instruction of the buyer.
