In some examples, a system receives, from a user device, an indication of a first item for a first order for delivery from a first merchant location to a delivery location. The system may determine one or more second merchants within a threshold distance of at least one of: the first merchant location, the delivery location, or a route between the first merchant location and the delivery location. The system may determine, based at least on past order information, second items of the one or more second merchants having a higher likelihood of being selected for bundling with the first item than other ones of the items of the one or more second merchants. Further, the system may send, to the user device, second merchant information to cause the user device to present a user interface including the second items having the higher likelihood of being selected for bundling.
