Abstract

Due to hectic schedules and long working hours, many people find it challenging to allocate time for traditional shopping in today's fast-paced world. This often leads to a preference for online shopping, as it provides convenience and flexibility. However, despite its benefits, online shopping still lacks a seamless experience where customers can easily access a wide range of products, manage their shopping preferences, and make hassle-free payments—all from the comfort of their homes. To address this, the "Cart to Doorstep" project was developed. This web application aims to create an efficient and user-friendly online shopping platform that streamlines the shopping experience for customers, sellers, and admins. The application lets customers shop anytime and anywhere, offering product browsing, secure payment options, and order tracking features. Sellers can easily manage inventory, apply discounts, and fulfil customer orders. Administrators oversee the system, ensuring smooth operations and verifying the working locations and sellers. The key contribution of this project is to bridge the gap between convenience and quality in online shopping. By integrating a wallet system for easy payment, product reviews, and real-time order tracking, this application provides a more personalised and engaging shopping experience. Moreover, its flexible architecture allows sellers to reach a broader audience while controlling their product offerings and pricing. Ultimately, the project enhances the overall shopping experience by offering a centralised, efficient, and easily accessible platform for all users, ensuring that customers can enjoy their shopping experience from start to finish without the need to visit physical stores.
