Day 11 Hour 3-4: Implementing E-commerce

Introduction to e-commerce functionality in web applications

In this session, we delve into the world of e-commerce, a crucial element of any online business. E-commerce functionality in a web application typically includes a variety of components, such as product listings, a shopping cart, order processing, and payment integration.

Product listings are the heart of any e-commerce site. They include the display of products, each with its own description, images, price, and other relevant details.

The shopping cart, on the other hand, is a temporary storage for the products that the user intends to purchase. It allows users to add, remove, or change the quantity of products before proceeding to checkout.

Order processing involves managing the flow of orders from the moment they are placed until they are fulfilled. This includes handling order confirmations, shipping details, and tracking information.

Payment integration is another important aspect of e-commerce. It involves incorporating a secure method for users to pay for their orders. This usually requires integrating with a third-party payment processor like PayPal or Stripe.
