DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MULTI VENDOR ONLINE SHOPPING SYSTEM


ABSTRACT

Multi Vendor Online Shopping System is application software that is controlled by multiple vendors or sellers which showcase various types of goods available for sales and dispatch. Shopping is the process of purchasing items in exchange for money. Shopping intranet simply means using a private computer network, which uses the internet protocol in managing a shopping centre in a campus. The aim of the study is to design and implement a Multi Vendor Online Shopping System for FPNO. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will display goods and services in the store, automate every sale effectively without mixing product prizes and store product detail using a secure database. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is as a result of the various challenges encounter in showcasing and delivering goods and services to different client around the globe where every business transaction involves an on presence for transaction to be successfully executed. The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. This software will help to make shopping stress-free and fun in the sense that you will place an order and it will be delivered at your desired location without stress. This software automates the existing system and provides more security. It will reduce pressure mounted on sellers from the buyers, and ensure transaction convenience. The contribution of this project work to the growth of ICT which fully means information and communication technology in Nigeria is to promote the use of shopping intranet for different campus as an educational tool. The expected result is an online Multi Vendor Online Shopping System that will process customer’s selected items in a shopping mall or supermarket, and the system will generates an accurate bill for payment purpose.


CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Multi Vendor Online Shopping System is application software that is controlled by multiple vendors or sellers which showcase various types of goods available for sales and dispatch. A shop is a place where various types of goods are packed and sold. Shopping is the process of purchasing items in exchange for money. Shopping intranet simply means using a private computer network, which uses the internet protocol in managing a shopping centre in a campus environment. It will be used by the students, staffs and management of the school including the school book shop. The place where it will be used is within the campus environment, through the software to be developed called a Multi Vendor Online Shopping System for FPNO where you can select and purchase what you want at any time of the day.

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.


1.2 Background of Study

An online shopping is the trading of products or services using computer networks, such as the Internet (Wikipedia, 2015). Electronic commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems.

1.4 Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of the study is to design and implement a Multi Vendor Online Shopping System for FPNO. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will:

  1. Display goods and services in the store.
  2. Automate every sale effectively without mixing product prizes.
  3. Store product detail using a secure database.

1.5 Significance of Study

This software will help to make shopping stress-free and fun in the sense that you will place an order and it will be delivered at your desired location without stress. This software automates the existing system and provides more security. It will reduce pressure mounted on sellers from the buyers, and ensure transaction convenience. The contribution of this project work to the growth of ICT which fully means information and communication technology in Nigeria is to promote the use of shopping intranet for different campus as an educational tool.

This study will also be of immense benefit to small and medium scale enterprises and other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work.
