Project Overview

Online shopping is an electronic commerce application of the internet. From a

business standpoint, customers usually find the products more appealing on websites
because all of the details are available there. People are doing a lot of online shopping
these days because there are a lot of options, there's a lot of price competition, and it's
simple to find what you're looking for. For sellers, their product gains access to a global
market, increasing the number of customers and improving customer relationships. In
addition, web stores allow small businesses to launch their products on a global scale.
So, the students come up with making this rational project which aimed to create a
virtual shop environment for users, accessible via the internet. Although the concept of
developing online shopping websites is not new in the electronic market the students
acknowledge this new way of shopping as it is convenient anytime and anywhere
specifically now that the pandemic is still on our land, less seller-consumer contact, less
Covid attack.

This project is developed by third year Information Technology students. It was

created with all aspects in mind, including data loading, complexity, and user credential
security. This system involves its own database to be maintained. As the information or
details about the products are stored in the database for the server-side functionalities.
The Server process is for dealing with the customer’s detail and the items that are
shipped to different locations based on the addresses provided by the customers. The
application design contains two modules one is for the customers who wish to buy the
articles. And another is for the store owners who maintain and updates the information
regarding the articles and about the customers. The end-user to use this product are the
common people for whom the application is to be hosted on the web and the admin
maintains the database. The application that is deployed on the customer’s database
like RDBMS, the information regarding the items is highlighted and forwarded from the
database for the customer (front view) based on the choice through the menu list and
based on all these searches and transactions the database of all the products is
updated at the end of each transaction.
 The entries for products, into the application, can be made through various
screens designed for various levels of users. As soon as, the authorized personnel feed
the relevant data into the system, several reports are generated based on the security
policy used. The following are some of our system's key features that set it apart from
others: On the home page, show all of the available shopping categories like popular,
Trends and such. It can also display all sub-categories associated with any particular
item on the home page like similar search. Admin has the authority to add new details to
the item list as needed. The administrator has the authority to remove items at any time.
Allows the administrator to change the price of each item as needed or desired. Each
item's description can be updated by the administrator. Allow the administrator to view
information about each customer who Checkout the item list. It is designed to provide a
web-based application that would make searching, viewing and selection of a product
easier. The search engine provides an easy and convenient way to search for products
where a user can Search for a product interactively and the search engine would refine
the products available based on the user’s input. The user can then view the complete
specification of each product. They can also view the product reviews and also write
their own reviews.
 Program Module Description

Online shopping as defined by Master Card Worldwide Insights (2008) is the

process of purchasing goods and services from merchants who sell over the internet.
Generally, it is also known as internet buying, electronic shopping, online purchasing, or
internet shopping. The primary goal of e-commerce is to reach maximum customers at
the right time to increase sales and profitability of the business. Functions of e-
commerce include buying and selling goods, transmitting funds or data over the
internet. The main objective of this application is to make it interactive and its ease of
use. It would make searching, viewing and selection of a product easier. It contains a
sophisticated search engine for users to search for products specific to their needs. The
search engine provides an easy and convenient way to search for products where a
user can Search for a product interactively and the search engine would refine the
products available based on the user’s input. The user can then view the complete
specification of each product. They can also view the product reviews and also write
their own reviews. The application also provides a drag and drop feature so that a user
can add a product to the shopping cart by dragging the item in to the shopping cart. The
main emphasis lies in providing a user-friendly search engine for effectively showing the
desired results and its drag and drop behavior.
