❖Introduction to proposed system
➢ INTRODUCTION
The online bookstore is a form of e-commerce and book sales industry
in one form ,this site content for online textbook system that allows
ordinary users to conveniently at home , use the internet feature , easy
to find the books you want , cost savings, trading books can be launched
immediately, so online bookstore in today's area of development is
extremely rapid. Online bookstore is the main function of this site,
customer can connect to the Internet through the computer into the
online bookstore and then check the book information, if you need to
purchase should be registered and select their own books, submit order
by filling order form. With the online bookstore system, customer do not
need to blindly go to various places to find their own books in this
pandemic period, but only a computer connected to the Internet, in the
search box, type you want to find of the book information retrieval, you
can efficiently know whether the site has its own books, if you can
online direct purchase, if not, you can change the home bookstore to
continue to search or provide advice to the seller in order to supply, This
greatly facilitates every consumer, saving time and labor

➢ PROPOSED SYSTEM
This application based on the internet that aims to all the levels of management providing
information of an organization. This system can be used and information management
system for the bookstore. we can see that nearly everything is very much possible to
perform within a single click , so this application will help you to computerized the system of
online bookstore management , so that readers can access the system online and search the
books that they want. A user visiting the website can see a wide range of books arranged in
respective categories . the user may select desired book and view its price when user search
specific book on the website , once he selected the book , the selected books will be
displayed in tabular form, he then has to fill in form and book is ordered by user. Day-byday
taste, preference and choices are varying regarding different factors such as the Internet
emergence However, this development needs some more understanding related to the
consumer’s behavior. The Bookshop Management System automates all operations in a
bookshop. Generally it includes the Order Processing, Stock Management and Accounts
Management before managing a bookshop understand the concept of automation. In
automation of any operation we make a system which do work automatically as the
respective events occurs, for which it is meant. The proposed system consists of the
following goals & has the scope as follows:

P a g e 8 | 53
❖Basic Functionality or scope

➢ Secure Transactions:
• Ensure robust security measures to safeguard users' personal and
financial information during online transactions, building trust and
confidence in the platform.

P a g e 10 | 53
 ❖Limitation:-
➢ Books can be purchased online through COD (Cash on Delivery) method.
Recommendation system provides best rated book to the user for
purchase. For large number of data, larger server are needed to run the
programs smoothly and efficiently which we cannot implement in our
local server. This project is limited to only cash on delivery method of
payment. Only highest rated books are recommended as this system
does not facilitates hybrid recommendation techniques

➢ Shipping Costs and Logistics: If you're selling physical books, shipping costs
can be a significant barrier, especially for international orders. Handling
logistics efficiently and cost-effectively can be challenging.

➢ Inventory Management: Maintaining accurate inventory records and

ensuring stock availability can be tricky, especially if you're dealing with
multiple suppliers or dropshipping arrangements.

➢ Competition: The online book market is highly competitive, with established

players like Amazon dominating the industry. Standing out from the
competition and attracting customers can be difficult.

➢ Technical Challenges: Running an online store requires technical expertise to

set up and maintain the website, manage transactions securely, and handle
customer data responsibly. Technical issues such as website crashes or
payment processing errors can affect the user experience and damage your
reputation.

➢ Customer Trust and Reputation: Building trust with customers, especially if

you're a new or lesser-known brand, can take time. Negative reviews or
experiences can spread quickly online and impact your reputation.

➢ Digital Rights Management (DRM): If you're selling digital books (e-books),

managing DRM to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution can be
complex and may require additional investment in software or services.

P a g e 11 | 53
➢ Market Saturation: Depending on your niche or target market, you may find
that certain genres or authors are already oversaturated with competitors,
making it harder to carve out a unique selling proposition.

➢ Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Operating an online business requires

compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements, including data
protection laws, tax regulations, and copyright laws. Failure to comply can
result in fines or legal action

➢ Setting up an online bookstore can be an exciting venture, but like any business, it
comes with its own set of limitations. Here are some common limitations you might
encounter:

P a g e 12 | 53
❖Hardware Software Requirement
➢ Hardware Requirement
• 20 GB HDD free Soace
• 256 MB RAM
• Pentium IV or above processor
• Monitor
• Keyboard:Standard
• Mouse:Optional
➢ Software Requirement
• MS-office-2007 or above
• SQL Server
• Operating System:Windows 7 or above

 Introduction to Development
Environment
❖What is PHP
➢ PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is A general purpose scripting
language. It is used for the development of web pages. Using web-
based software applications it creates dynamic content that
interacts with databases.
➢ Today every popular website you will come across will be made of
PHP taking advantage of the development of its language. Due to
its open-source language feature, it allows you to fetch several
forums, discussions, and blogs. Using this technology developers
can look out for guidance and troubleshooting.
➢ Therefore if you’re new to business and just starting up with your
idea you can take complete advantage of PHP. For example
content management systems (CMS) like WordPress and Joomla or
e-commerce solutions like Magento, Ubercart, and Zen Cart. The
beauty of using PHP is that it provides a wide array of ready-made
solutions.
➢ User Authentication and Authorization: PHP can handle user
registration, login, and authentication processes securely. You can use
PHP frameworks like Laravel or Symfony to implement robust
authentication systems.

➢ Product Management: PHP can be used to create a backend system

for managing book listings, including adding new books, updating
existing ones, and removing out-of-stock items.

➢ Checkout Process: PHP can manage the checkout process, including

collecting shipping and billing information, calculating taxes and
shipping costs, and processing payments securely using payment
gateways like Stripe or case.

➢ Order Management: PHP can handle order processing, including

storing order details in a database, sending confirmation emails to
customers, and updating inventory levels after a successful purchase.

P a g e 14 | 53
➢ Search : PHP can power search functionality on your bookstore
website, allowing users to search for books by title, author, genre, or
other criteria. You can use PHP frameworks or libraries like Elasticsearch
for more advanced search capabilities.

➢ Content : PHP can be used to create and manage static pages on your
website, such as an About Us page, Contact page. You can use PHP-
based content management systems like WordPress or Joomla for
easier content management.

➢ Responsive Design: PHP can generate dynamic HTML content based

on user requests, allowing you to create responsive designs that adapt
to different screen sizes and devices.

P a g e 15 | 53
❖MY SQL:-

➢ Write, Run & Share MySQL queries online using OneCompiler's

MySQL online editor and compiler for free. It's one of the robust,
feature-rich online editor and compiler for MySQL. Getting started
with the OneCompiler's MySQL editor is really simple and pretty
fast. The editor shows sample boilerplate code when you choose
language as 'MySQL' and start writing queries to learn and test
online without worrying about tedious process of installation.

➢ MySQL is a open-source, free and very popular relational database

management system which is developed, distributed and
supported by Oracle corporation.
➢ KEY FEATURES:

• Open-source relational database management systems.

• Reliable, very fast and easy to use database server.
• Works on client-server model.
• Highly Secure and Scalable
• High Performance

P a g e 16 | 53
❖JavaScript

➢ JavaScript: The Definitive Guide

This book is ideal for programmers who want to take their
understanding of JavaScript to the next level. It begins with all
the basic foundations of JavaScript to advanced topics like web
platforms and Node. js.

➢ JavaScript is a programming language that adds interactivity to

your website. This happens in games, in the behavior of
responses when buttons are pressed or with data entry on
forms; with dynamic styling; with
animation, etc.

➢ js makes responsive design easier. JavaScript has become

integral to the Internet experience as developers build
increased interaction and complexity into their applications.
Search engines, ecommerce, content management systems,
responsive design, social media and phone apps would not be
possible without it.

P a g e 17 | 53
 System Planning
❖Requirement Gathering

➢ As stated by the customer, security is not a concern of this

project. As such, it is beyond the scope of this system to encrypt
personal user data, encrypt credit card information, prevent
unauthorized login attempts, or any other concern of this
nature. Additionally, the system is not responsible for the
following:

➢ Verifying the email address provided by a user

• Storing additional information about a book beyond simply
the title, name of author, and price
• Allowing users to edit their account details (username,
password, mailing address, etc)
• Allowing customers to order multiple copies of a book in a
single order
• Providing individual product pages (one page for every item in
the inventory)
• Allowing the manager to update login credentials or other
information about the

manager Additionally, the system may need to later be

extended to provide additional functions. One such example is
added support for visually impaired users. In many cases a
screenreading program is used and ensuring that page-layout
reads from top-left to bottom-right in a logical manner would
be required.

P a g e 18 | 53
❖Feasibility Study

➢ Feasibility to a project determines whether it is possible to develop the

project. Feasibility study is test of a system proposal according to its
workability, impact on the organization, ability to meet user needs and
effective use of resources. All the projects are feasible given unlimited
resources and infinite time! Ergo, feasibility study means an evaluation of
benefits versus costs incurred in developing project, where cost includes
manpower, time, resources and money.

➢ A feasibility study is carried out to select the best system that meets
performance requirements. Only by spending the time to evaluate the
feasibility do I reduce the chances for extreme embarrassment at later
stage of the system project.

➢ There are three main factors, which determine the feasibility of the
projects. They are discussed as follows.

1. Operational Feasibility Study:

➢ The Operational Feasibility is the determination of your system’s minimum

configuration used and the machine’s eligibility.

➢ Operational feasibility measures how well the solution will work in the
organization and how will end-user & management feels about the system.

➢ Proposed system is helpful for all the users who joined this community.

➢ This study resultant we that it requires a Web-browser, Pentium processer,

a system with adequate peripherals, macromedia or adobe Photoshop,
etc.

2. Technical Feasibility Study:

P a g e 19 | 53
➢ The study is related to any technical terms manner is to be mentioned in
the Technical Feasibility Study.
➢ It consists of all the database storage facility, accessing facility, for the
restore of data; etc. It needs a high speed processer in GHz with the advent
in technology.

➢ According to the entire infrastructure, the system seems to be Technically

Feasible.

3. Economical Feasibility Study:

➢ The main part of among all the three areas of Feasibility Study is the
Economical Feasibility Study.

➢ Whenever, anything is started one must see its benefits and loses. To
check such things we have to the related to the financial status of the
project.

➢ The developer has to be in the budget and has to develop the project. The
additional cost incur is the manpower
