E-COMMERCE APPLICATION

Abstract

E-commerce has revolutionized the way businesses operate, allowing customers to browse, compare, and purchase products online. This project focuses on developing a web-based E-Commerce application using Java, providing a seamless and secure platform for online transactions. The application aims to offer an intuitive user interface, secure payment options, and a robust backend to manage products, users, and orders efficiently. The system will be designed to handle high traffic and ensure data integrity through efficient database management.

The key features of this application include user authentication, product catalog management, shopping cart functionality, secure payment gateway integration, order tracking, and an admin panel for inventory and user management. Additionally, the platform will be optimized for performance, scalability, and security to cater to various business needs.

This document outlines the essential hardware and software requirements necessary for developing and deploying the E-Commerce application.
