The drag-and-drop WEB site navigation system implements a drag-and-drop paradigm that allows customers to easily select WEB merchants from a plurality of WEB merchants, browse the merchant's products, select product(s) for purchase, select a recipient from the customer's personal address book to receive product and purchase the product. The customer can simply use the drag-and-drop mode of selection to perform each step of this process, to thereby minimize the use of the keyboard of the terminal device. In one embodiment of the system, the customer can access a centralized WEB site that has stored therein a profile of the customer's interests and/or the recipient's interests to thereby enable the customer to select WEB merchants from a list of customer/recipient preferences. The centralized WEB site can also maintain an address book for the customer, listing potential recipients for the purchases, as well as customer information to thereby eliminate the need to repetitively input information as the customer traverses a number of merchant's WEB sites and purchases products for multiple recipients.
