1.Introduction

Electric commerce, or e-commerce refers to the purchasing and selling of goods and services as well
as the transmission of money and data through an electronic network. The type of the e-commerce
that we choose for our company is business-to-consumer(B2C) which is occurs when companies offer
goods, services or information to customers directly. Our project goal is to create a database for an
online store. This project is used to e-commerce web applications similar those found on Amazon,
eBay, or Shopee. We create this project for end-users like customers or web developers to create the
system to store user data. There are 11 tables in this database such as CART_ITEM,
ORDER_DETAILS, ORDER_ITEMS, PAYMENT_DETAILS, PRODUCT, PRODUCT_CATEGORY,
PRODUCT_INVENTORY, SHOPPING_SESSION, USER_PAYMENT and USERS which are linked to
one another according to the specific business rules. In doing so, the system’s purchase data might
be simpler to manage and less likely to result in errors or problem. As a result, whenever user makes
a transaction, the system will identify their user id to verify they are the ones utilizing it. Then, when
they attempted to make a purchase, they already had the option saved, such as their debit card
information, so the transaction was completed in a minute or even seconds. Following that, the details
of the order that had been placed do contain some essential information such as user id to determine
with certainty who is placing the order, and the product id to determine which item they are going to
buy. Next, after placing the order, customers must keep track of its progression until they got the
actual product.

1.1 Purpose

1.2 Scope
Scope of e-commerce platform is to perform quickly and easily satisfying the expectations of our
clients. Clients may utilise them to access anything with only a mouse click or even with fingertips.

Omnichannel presence and support

People nowadays use a variety of channels for their research, deliberation, and purchases. They thus
anticipate flawless operation across various channels and devices. Therefore, e-commerce
companies should prepare to be multichannel. Consumers need to be able to get the material they
want when they want and where they want it.

Customer encounter

The function of e-commerce firm greatly depends on the quality of the customer experience, both in-
person and online. It makes sense why it's one of the top trends in digital marketing today.

Mobile Friendly

Nowadays, many people use their smartphone to shop online. This online purchase that made on
smartphone has been popular a few years ago because of more convenient than desktops. So that
many people are using their smartphone to shop online and easy to fulfil their wants and needs. The
main scope of e-commerce is a mobile-first approach. Companies that do not make their e-shops
mobile friendly will lose a lot of business opportunity A responsive e-store websites for mobile devices
is important to ensure that the user will be able to see and interact with that element without having to
interact with the view. So that, the users can enjoy using an excellent interface on the e-commerce
site. Then, a seamless shopping experience should be provided across devices. In this case, the
customer behaviour on the desktop is reflected on the mobile site. If customer wants to add items to
their shopping cart on the desktop, the information needs to be updated as well on the mobile phone.
