This system allows the administrator to view, add, edit and delete the different categories, sub categories and the products in the system’s database. It also allows customers to view the web content, order products online, fill customer registration forms and also subscribe to the newsletter.

The developed system is now favoring other modes of payment such as pay pal that is more convenient to customers and the business owners. Online shopping is the process whereby customers directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time, with or without an intermediary service, over the Internet. If an intermediary service is present the process is called electronic commerce, E-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services on the Internet, by the use of the World Wide Web. In developed economies consumers find the World Wide Web a great place for bargain-hunting, with most goods available at lower prices than in a bricks-and-mortar store.
