1. A method comprising:
providing a user interface (UI) for configuring seed item listings in a seed item listing database, the UI presenting a seed post map with a plurality of regions, each region comprising one or more subregions inside the region, the UI presenting each subregion with a first color indicating that a seed item listing is available for purchase without a discount rate by an end-user in the subregion, a second color indicating that the seed item is available for purchase with a discount rate by the end-user in the subregion, and a third color indicating that the seed item is unavailable for purchase by the end-user in the subregion, the UI providing:
a first option for selecting a region or a subregion as available in response to receiving a first input type entered with a computer mouse, the UI changing a format of the region or subregion in response to detecting the first input type,
a second option for selecting a region or a sub-region as unavailable in response to receiving a second input type entered with the computer mouse, the UI changing the format of the region or subregion in response to detecting the second input type, the UI enabling configuring the regions and sub-regions to be available or unavailable without opening additional windows, and
a third option for selecting a region or sub-region to configure a discount rate for the selected region or sub-region in response to receiving a third input type entered with the computer mouse, the UI causing presentation of a pop-up window for entering the discount rate and shipping cost for the region or subregion in response to receiving the third input type, each seed item listing in the seed item listings database being configurable to be available, available with the discount rate, or unavailable for each region and sub-region;
receiving, from a network site end-user, a seed item search request specifying a geographic location;
accessing the seed item listing database;
determining, using one or more processors of a machine, which seed item listings are available for purchase in the geographic location based on each seed item being available without a discount rate and based on each seed item being available with the discount rate in the regions and sub-regions of the geographic location; and
causing, on a user device of the network site end-user, a presentation displaying the seed item listings that are available for purchase in the geographic location.
