Abstract– Now-a-days the ongoing phase of Covid-19, Shop
keepers faced lots of problems selling their products and had
to go through much loss. So, here comes the Solution to
the problem, we have created an e-commerce website which
can be beneficiary in such ongoing circumstances. The other
benefit of our website is that when we visit an ad or any other
e-commerce website, manyoftheusers leavethesitebecauseof
slowloading and the speed at which the website is working.So,
here we give you the solution to this problem too, as we have
created a website that is faster than Walmart itself. The
website is created using MERN stack which isthemostpopular
field nowadays in the development world. We have also
provided online transactions for the products that the user
buys using PayPal. “The main advantage of e-commerce over
traditional commerce is the user can browse online shops,
compare prices and order merchandisesittingat homeontheir
PC. For increasing the use of e-commerce in developing
countries the B2B e-commerce is implemented for improving
accessto global markets for firms in developing countries. For
a developing country advancement in the field of e-commerce
is essential. The study approach demonstrates the
significance of E-commerce for business software in emerging
nations”[1].
1. INTRODUCTION
It is true that technology has become an essential tool for
online marketing nowadays. However, there arenumerous
small shops and grocery stores with mostly offline business
model in our town/city recently. Withthiscommerce model,
it will bring a lot of bad experiences for both buyers and
sellers. For instance,the seller has the product want to offer
but the buyer may not know it, or the buyer may urgently
need topurchase something, but the store is out of stock.
Moreover, onlineshopping helps customers tochooseawide
range of products, prices andthey can compare them to each
other easily. Encountering the inadequacies and the
weaknesses of the offline business model, making a website
application for searching and buying things for each shop is
very necessary right now. Recently, there have been many e-
commerce sites exported such asAmazon,e-bayorthestores
that can sell products via social media channels like
Facebook. However, customers still find it difficult to choose
the products they want because of the large variety of
products on these sites and not focus on specific things.
Moreover, the sellers have to spend a highamount of money
on marketing or paying for fees. From there disadvantages,
implement an online e-commerce web application for small
grocery stores helps retailers can manage products on their
own systems and not depend on the 3rd party website. For
the customers, they can quickly search the products if it is
available and come to store to pick it up and they can contact
directly to the shop owner to learn more about the products
that they are looking for. In order to make a website that can
acquire the needs of both customers and retailers, MERN
(MongoDB, Express.js framework, ReactJS library, NodeJS
platform) is one of the powerful stacks that can help us to
develop an e- commerce web application.
1.1 PROBLEM DEFINITION
Internet access required: When participating in the EC, to be
able to buy and sell, you need a device connected to the
internet. Currently, most people have internet access but, in
many areas, it is still very limited. Not enough to trust:
Products and services that cannot be seen, touched, held or
felt directly, arenot allowed to try as a prudent buyer. Doubt
in both buyers and sellers leads to many incomplete
transactions, especially when they have dealt withuntrusted
partners before. Limited payment methods: Currently, the
most popular payment method in Vietnam when buying
goods online is to receive and pay. Payment gateway in
Vietnam is growing quite strong, but not reliable enough for
users to use as the mainpayment method. Therefore, it also
contributes toteething.Inadditional,onlinesellersconfronta
slew of extra issues: technical, competitors, payment, etc. In
the misuse, there are some sets of signatures inthe database
and the systemalways tries to match If there is a connection
between the inbound attack and the attack tendencies
contained in the system, then the attack is detected.
1.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVE
This site's goal is to create an e-commerce Java web
application fora small business, where the store owner (also
called the administrator or admin) can sell goods over the
internet. In the application, the admin will be able to manage
products, customers, and orders, while the customerswillbe
able to order andpayfor products.Also, the buyers will have
the opportunity to subscribe to an email list in orderto get
announcements about new arrivals and sales promotions.
Furthermore, there will be an email notification after
completing an order or subscribing to an emaillist.

2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Customers would have to go to typical "brick and
mortar" establishments to buy products and services well
before introduction of e-commerce and the internet, and
vendors would have to find a venue to offer their wares, but
due to the arrival of e-commerce and the internet some
decades ago shoppers do not have to visit these stores to
makea purchase, neither dothesellers havetofinda placeto
locate their stores. Infact, buying and selling without any
form of e-commerce is unthinkable, complicated and
cumbersome to many these days.
E-commerce, which is now an integral part of many
businesses, is used primarily to boost sales revenue, to
attract new customers and to survive in today’s competitive
business environment.
Also, it has benefitted the customers as they now have easy
access to a wide range of goods and services at anytime and
anywhere in the world. Amazon and eBay are well-known e-
commerce enterprises.
2.1 HISTORY OF E-COMMERCE
Electronic commerce started in the 1960s when Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) was used by companiesto carry out
their daily business transactions electronically. In 1979,
Michael Aldrich invented online shopping from which the
term teleshopping was coined. In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee
invented the World WideWeb, and thereafter he was able to
establish communication between a Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) client and a server through the internet,
leading to the advent of Amazon and eBayinthe1990s.These
two prominent online stores have revolutionized the e-
commerce market since their inception as more and more
online shops spring up every day.
2.2 TYPES OF E-COMMERCE
Basically, there are four types of E-commerce-
Business to Business (B2B)
A situation where transaction take place between
companies. For example, a computer manufacturing
company selling computers to another company.
Business to Consumers (B2C)
This takes place when a business sells directlytoconsumers.
an example is when a customer buys a product fromamazon
web store.
Consumer to Business (C2B)
This happens when a individual or end user sells goods or
services to companies. this is reverse B2C. an example is
when a paid amazon advert is hosted on a consumer’s
website.
Consumers to Consumer(C2C)
Involves business transaction between consumers. an
example is when a consumer wants to sell a use product to
another consumer on E-bay.
2.3 WHY E-COMMERCE WEB APPLICATION?
In today’s business world, it has become inevitable for any
small, medium orlargeenterprisetohaveane-business store.
The following are some of the reasons a business should
have an online presence. To break the barrier posed by
physical limitations. To reach more shoppers in order to
increase revenue. To make products available to customers
24/7 globally.Toallowshopperspurchasegoodsattheirown
convenience, with just some mouse clicks. To reduce the
operational cost of running a business. To provide better
customer relations.
3. SCOPE OF PROJECT
“The potential for e-commerce development is enormous.
Now a days one can buy products online through some sites
like Flipkart and Amazon. In the age of e-commerce
everything from gym equipment to laptops are available
online. E-Commerce is a super set of business cases”[2]. It
includes E-trading, E-Franchising, E-Mailing, E-Engineering
etc. Scope of e-commerce can be enumerated as follows:
1. Exchange of digitized information.
2. Technology-enabled.
3. Customers retention.
4. Accounting.
5. Supplier integration.
6. Support the exchange.
4. PROBLEM STATEMENT
“Analysis is concerned withunderstandingandmodeling the
application and domain within which it operates. The initial
input to the analysis phase is problem statement, which
describes the problem to be solved, and provides a
conceptual view of the proposed system” Subsequent dialog
with the customer and real-world background knowledge
are additional inputs to analysis. The output from analysisis
a formal model that captures the three essential aspects of
the system: the assets and their interactions, the dynamical
intake of authority, and the constraint-based functional
transformation of data.

The gap between system engineering and software analysis
design is bridged by necessary analysis. System
requirements study include gathering, classifying,
organizing, prioritizing, and validating requirements.
Requirement analysisconsistsofuserrequirementsAnalysis
is concerned with understanding and modeling the
application and domain within which it operates. The initial
input to the analysis phase is problem statement, which
describes the problem to be solved, and provides a
conceptual view of the proposed system.
SOFTWARE PROCESS MODEL
“Every software developed is different and requires a
suitable SDLC approach to be followed based on theinternal
and externalfactors. WechooseWaterfallModelassoftware
process model”[3],because
- It is useful for the projects in which the
requirements are well understood.
- It has sequential nature.
“In a waterfall model, each phase must be completed before
the next phase can begin and there is no overlapping in the
phases Waterfall model is the earliest SDLC approach that
was used for software development. The waterfall Model
illustrates the software development process in a linear
sequential flow”[4]; hence it is also referred to as a linear-
sequential life cycle model.
The Sequential phases in Waterfall Model:
 FeasibilityStudy:Feasibilitystudyisperformed
by, considering the factors such as development
cost, operating cost, responsetime, development
time, accuracy and reliability.
 “Requirement Analysis: All possible
requirements of the system to be developed are
captured in this phase and documented in a
requirement specification doc”[3].
 System Design: This phase examines the
requirements specifications from the previous
phase and prepares the system design. “System
Design helps in specifying hardware and system
requirements and also helps in defining overall
system architecture.
 Implementation: With inputs from system
design, the system is first developed in small
programs called units, which are integrated in
thenext phase. Eachunit is developedandtested
for its functionality which is referred to asUnit
Testing.
 IntegrationandTesting:Alltheunitsdeveloped
in theimplementationphaseareintegratedintoa
systemafter testingof eachunit. Post integration
the entire system is tested for any faults and
failures.
 Deployment of system: Once the functional
and non-functional testing is done, the product
is deployed in the customer environment or
released into the market”[3].

5. METHODOLOGY
Through Online Shopping a person who wants to buy is a
lifestyle e-commerce web application, “which retails various
fashion and lifestyle products. This project allows viewing
various products available enables registered users to
purchase desired productsinstantlyusingpaymentmethods.
This project provides an easy access to Administrators and
Managers to view orders placed using pay later and instant
pay options. In order to develop an e-commerce website, a
number of technologies mustbe studiedandunderstood”[5].
6. ARCHITECTURE
Below figure shows the System Architecture of the system.
The admin will first input the product detailsto the system.
The admin will have the control and access to all the
information in the system such as user, product orderdetails
as well as the details of the customers logged in. The
customer is then asked for his login details on the login page
and afterwards he/she is able to select the product. The user
can then check the availability of the product, as per the user
requirements, user will select the product and then he can
add to cart. The user can now enter his shipping address and
the payment method. The user can even review the product.
The user then can confirm is order and then the payment is
done.

7. FUTURE SCOPE
The project “46shops” has a very vast scope in future. The
project can be implemented on intranet in future. “Project
can be updated in near future as and when requirement for
the same arises, as it is very flexible in terms of expansion.
With the proposed software of database Space Manager
ready and fully functional the client is now able to manage
and hence run the entire work in a much better, accurateand
error free manner”[7].
The following things can be done in future:
a) The current system can be extended to allow the
users to create accounts and save products in to the
wish list.
b)The users could subscribe for price alerts which
would enable them to receive messages when price
for products fall below a particular level.
c)“Multiple shipping and billing addresses can be
saved by the user. They can utilize the frictional
pressure feature to select shipping and billing
details while settle up process”[6].
d)And many features can be added this project to
make it more robust.
