Abstract:
This project aims to develop an Online Shopping Website that provides users with a simple,
efficient, and secure platform to buy products online. The system will allow customers to browse,
select, and purchase products while administrators can manage inventory and orders efficiently.
Problem Statement:
In traditional shopping, customers need to visit physical stores, which requires time and effort.
Small businesses also face challenges in reaching customers outside their locality. Hence, there is
a need for an online shopping solution that saves time, increases accessibility, and improves
customer satisfaction.
Objective:
The main objective of this project is to design and implement a user-friendly e-commerce website
where customers can browse products, add them to a cart, and securely purchase them. It also
provides an admin panel for managing products, categories, and customer details.
Proposed System:
• A centralized online shopping system accessible through a web browser.
• Users can browse categories, search products, and view detailed information.
• Shopping cart and secure checkout process.
• Admin dashboard for product and order management.
• Integration with online payment gateways.
System Architecture:
The system follows a client-server architecture. - The client (frontend) is built using HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript. - The server (backend) is developed using PHP/[Link]/Python. - The database
(MySQL/MongoDB) stores product, user, and order details. - Communication happens via HTTP
requests and responses.
Scope:
• User registration, login, and profile management.
• Product browsing, searching, and categorization.
• Shopping cart and order checkout system.

Feasibility Study:

training.
• Economic Feasibility – Development cost is minimal as open-source tools are used.
Technology Used:
