ShopConnect E-commerce Platform

This repository contains the implementation of ShopConnect, a robust e-commerce platform developed as part of the Web Technologies course (Summer 2023-24) at AIUB. The platform is designed to serve three distinct user roles: Admin, Merchants, and Customers. Each role is assigned specific features, ensuring a seamless and secure environment for product management, ordering, and user interactions.

Key Features:

• Admin: Admins hold the highest control over the platform, allowing them to manage users, merchants, and products. They can:

  • Add, view, update, and delete products.
  • Manage user accounts (customers and merchants).
  • Oversee merchant activity and product listings.

• Merchants: Merchants manage their own products and orders. They can:

  • Add, view, update, and delete products.
  • View and manage customer orders related to their products.

• Customers: Customers can explore the product catalog, place orders, and manage their profiles. They can:

  • View all products.
  • Place and track orders.
  • View order history and update account information.

Technologies:

The project follows the MVC architecture, providing a clear separation between the interface, logic, and database operations. The system includes the following features:

• Login and Registration for all users.
• Profile Management for viewing and updating personal details.
• Order Management for merchants and customers, ensuring smooth transaction and order tracking.

Installation:

Clone the repository and follow the setup instructions provided in the documentation to get the platform running locally.
