 1. INTRODUCTION
E-commerce, or electronic commerce, refers to the buying and selling of goods and services over
the internet. It involves a digital platform that facilitates online transactions between businesses
(B2B), businesses and consumers (B2C), consumers and consumers (C2C), and sometimes
between businesses and government entities (B2G). E-commerce encompasses a wide range of
activities and processes, all aimed at enabling online trade.
Here your online shopping experience meets convenience, reliability, and style! We are
thrilled to bring you a curated selection of products designed to enhance your lifestyle, all
available at your fingertips.

2. OVERVIEW OF E-COMMERCE SYSTEM

An e-commerce system is a digital platform that enables the online buying and selling of goods
and services. It provides a complete infrastructure for businesses and consumers to interact,
including features like product catalogs, shopping carts, payment gateways, and order
management. Users can browse products, make purchases, and track orders, while businesses can
manage inventory, process payments, and handle customer service. These systems are designed
to be user-friendly, secure, and scalable, supporting a wide range of transactions from Business-
to- Consumer (B2C) to Business-to-Business (B2B) and even Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C). E-
commerce systems leverage technologies like encryption, search engines, and APIs to ensure
seamless operations, offering global reach, convenience, and efficiency in the marketplace.

3. OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this project is to provide information about essential and suitable products
for buyers, empowering communities by increasing their access to goods, services, and
economic opportunities through convenient online platforms.
The objective are as follows:

1. To provide solutions for regular people who do not have time for physical shopping
2. To reduce long queues at checkout counters to minimize customer frustration.

 5.2 Non-Functional Requirements:
1. Performance:
a. Response time: The system should respond to user actions within a certain
time frame (e.g. page load time).
b. Scalability: The system must efficiently handle the growing number of users
and businesses.
2. Security:
a. Data Security: Ensure that user data and payment information is stored and
transmitted (e.g., using encryption).
b. Authentication: Used strong control measures to secure accounts.

3. Resources Used:

b. Accessibility: Ensure disabled access to the program.

4. Reliability:
a. Availability: The system should have maximum uptime and be available to
users around the clock.
b. Error handling: Errors must be handled and documented properly to avoid
system failure.

5. Backup and Recovery :

a. Data Backup: Important data should be backed up regularly to prevent loss.
b. Disaster recovery: System recovery strategies in the event of a catastrophic
failure.

6. Feasibility Study:
A feasibility study evaluates whether the proposed E-commerce system can be developed and
implemented effectively within the given constraints.

6.1 Technical:
The E-commerce system will be developed using modern, widely used technologies to ensure
reliability and support:
 Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP and MySQL as the database.
 Hardware: Initially, the system will be hosted on a local system. If needed it can be
migrated to cloud hosting for scability and broader accessibility.

These technologies are well-supported and familiar to developers, which minimizes technical
challenges

6.2 Operational
This project is feasible to operate. The current mode of operation provides adequate throughput
and response .This system is simple, reliable, easy to maintain and fully operational. Admin of
the
4
system can add and manages categories, sales and product. Personnel having simple computer
knowledge can manage the system.

6.3 Economic
This project is designed to utilize the skills we've acquired during this period, making it both
feasible and cost-effective. We're leveraging freely available resources from the internet,
minimizing the need for significant financial investment. External personnel will be engaged for
project development, while administration and user operation will be managed internally by us.
