2.2 Flowcharts.
• Customer registration: The customer will use his particular data e-mail and password to
log into the shop. After submitting the form, the html5 checks if all the fields have been
filled correctly. If the condition is not met the customer remains on the same page but if
the fields are correctly filled the customer login information is sent to the database to
check if the data entered into the areas are same as the ones used to register to the
database.

Fig 2.1: Customer registration


• Admin registration: The Administrator will use his particular data such as name, e-mail,
and password. After submitting the form, the html5 checks to see if all the fields entered
by the adminis correct. If the filed are not correctly filed, or conditions are not met the
admin remains on the same page but if all requirements are met admin's information
goesto the database and saves the data in the "Admins" in the database. After that, the
administrator is directed to the admin webpage to log in.

CHAPTER 3:

IMPLEMENTATION

3.1: TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES USED

• REACT: React is a popular and widely used JavaScript library for building user
interfaces (UIs). It was developed by Facebook and has gained significant popularity due
to its efficiency and reusability in creating interactive and dynamic web applications. The
main concept behind React is the creation of reusable UI components. Components are
building blocks that encapsulate both the structure and behaviour of a particular part of a
user interface. This modular approach allows developers to create complex applications by
combining and reusing smaller, self-contained components. React utilizes a virtual DOM
(Document Object Model) to efficiently update and render components. When changes
occur in the application's data or state, React updates only the necessary parts of the
DOM, resulting in faster and more efficient rendering compared to traditional DOM
manipulation. One of the key advantages of React is its ability to build single-page
applications (SPAs) that provide a seamless user experience without the need for page
reloads. React also supports server-side rendering (SSR), which improves initial page load
times and enhances search engine optimization (SEO).
• HTML: stands for hypertext markup language is the standard markup language used for
creating web pages and applications. It provides the structure and content of a web page
by defining the elements and their relationships within the document. HTML uses a tag-
based syntax, where tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< >) and are used to mark up
different parts of the content. These tags define the structure and semantics of the web
page elements, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, lists, tables, forms, and more.
• CSS: stands for cascading style sheets is a stylesheet language used to describe the
presentation and visual appearance of a web page written in HTML or XML. It is
responsible for the styling, layout, and design aspects of a web page, enhancing its visual
appeal and user experience. In summary, CSS is a powerful styling language that works in
conjunction with HTML to control the visual appearance and layout of web pages. It
offers flexibility, control, and creativity in designing attractive and user-friendly websites.
• Node JS: is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment built on
Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. It allows developers to run JavaScript code outside the
browser, enabling server-side and command-line application development In summary,
6
Node.js extends JavaScript to the server-side, providing a powerful and efficient platform
for building scalable, event-driven applications. Its asynchronous nature, extensive
package ecosystem, and cross-platform compatibility make it a popular choice for web
and network application development
• Express JS: is a minimalistic and flexible web application framework for Node.js. It
provides a set of features and tools to build web applications and APIs quickly and
efficiently. Express.js simplifies the process of handling HTTP requests, routing,
middleware integration, and managing application logic
• Mongo DB: is a popular open-source NoSQL database that uses a flexible
documentoriented data model. It is designed to store, retrieve, and manage structured and
unstructured data with high scalability and performance. In summary, MongoDB is a
flexible and scalable NoSQL database that offers high performance and allows for easy
data modeling and retrieval. When combined with Express.js, developers can build
powerful and efficient web applications that store and retrieve data using MongoDB's
document-oriented approach.

upcoming or overdue payments. This can help reduce late payments and improve cash
flow for businesses.
3. Credit Notes and Refunds: Enable the creation of credit notes or refunds within the
website, allowing users to handle situations where adjustments or refunds are
necessary. This feature can help maintain accurate financial records and streamline the
refund process.
