Hi I'm not sure if this is useful but here in China realtime chat function for buying stuff is commonplace. I heard a stat that something like 40% of all sales on Tmall are closed via chat - be it wechat or aliwangwang. In terms of location based and in app purchase they have moved fast too.

If you need to look at consumer behavior (which for many comments here seems to be a question) it might help to look at what they are doing.
