provide, to a user device, a first webpage that is associated with a content producer, wherein the first webpage includes:
a navigational link indicative of a second webpage associated with a first seller of an item; and
first information regarding the item;
at a first time, determine input indicative of selection of the navigational link by the user device;
in response to the input selecting the navigational link that indicates the second webpage associated with the first seller: automatically and without user input, direct the user device to a linked interface associated with a second seller of the item;
in response to access by the user device to the linked interface, use a computing device associated with the linked interface to acquire first data from the user device, wherein the first data includes:
a first identifier indicative of the content producer;

a third identifier indicative of the first seller; and merchant website; and
a fourth identifier indicative of the user device;
after the first data is acquired, automatically and without user input, redirect the user device from the linked interface to access the second webpage associated with the first seller, wherein the second webpage offers the item for purchase;
