DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONLINE SHOPPING CART SYSTEM FOR AN ONLINE STORE


ABSTRACT

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. The business-to-consumer aspect of an online shopping is the most visible business use of the World Wide Web. The primary goal of an online shopping site is to sell goods and services online. This project deals with developing an e-commerce website for online shopping. It provides the user with a catalogue of different goods and services available for purchase in the store. In order to facilitate online purchase a shopping cart is provided to the user. The reason for writing this project work on this topic is to create software that will automate shopping for the school campus using the intranet. The research methodologies to be used include SSADM which fully means structured system analysis design methodology and prototyping. The programming languages to be used include Adobe Dreamweaver cs5, PHP which fully means hypertext preprocessor and MYSQL which fully means structured query language. 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 online shopping cart system for different store or campus as an educational tool.


CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

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 campus shopping intranet where you can select and purchase what you want at any time of the day.

Chapter one introduces the research work and the problem definition of the research, and to know the aim of this research work, research justification tells us why it is important to research on this topic; it also covers areas like scope and limitation of study which entails the boundary of this work. Definition of terms gives summarize what each chapter entails.


1.2 Background of Study

An E-commerce is the trading in 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. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web for at least one part of the transaction's life cycle, although it may also use other technologies such as e-mail. Every business that want to shoot online, irrespective of it's types need an e-commerce software product that fits your online store's unique needs and requirements. For the past years e-commerce has been the trend for most business spanning across different cities and countries. Where product and service can be deliver through their web service and delivery is done using different transport medium like ship,car or through post office.

This work is an attempt at delivering an online shopping cart system capable of delivering goods and services on demand, using a small Mobile outlet as a case study.


1.3 Problem Definition

This research work was undertaken to solve 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.


1.4 Aim and Objectives of Study

In view of the problems mentioned above, this project is aimed at implementing an online shopping cart system for a mobile shop will exclusively:

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

1.5 Research Methodology

This research work “Design and implementation of computerized shopping cart system for a GSM/Mobile shop”. The system will be a web-based application and will be implemented on a relational database system (MySQL). Html (hypertext markup language), CSS (cascading style sheet) and Java Script will be used to design the web-user interface, php (hypertext pre-processor) will be used as the serve- side script language to link the interface and the database and Ajax technology for automation of the cart system.


1.6 Scope and Limitations of the Study

This research work is to develop a system capable of handling sales by automating in itself a cart system that stores all sales details prior to when the user request close the sales service.

The system will also incorporate in its design a billing system that will display the total sales and product at the close of each transaction.
