Abstract

The aim of designing up the electronic shopping facility is to make the search, view, and order of the products to be faster and efficient with minimum errors. In this project a simple online shopping facility is designed and developed. The system consists of user-friendly interfaces written in ASP VBScripts. The facility will receive input in the firm of atomic values; perform some calculations on the input to produce an output (total cost of order). The calculations will be the user triggers. In developing the shopping facility, the electronic commerce architecture and technology were used in order to document the system. The various interfaces that enable the customer to buy online and the shop owner to maintain the system were developed. To manage the customers’ transactions the database was developed for storage of users’ profiles and debit card information for registered users, and accepts the data of new customers. The checkout is provided for the customers to fill the facility with the products. The shopper requires providing the shipping details. Also, OSS provides features for ordering, setup and online debit card.
