Sopiko: E-commerce website for buying and selling books

Abstract

Sopiko is an e-commerce web application developed for buying and selling books through an online platform. The main purpose of this project is to provide an easy, fast, and reliable system where users can purchase new or old books and also sell their used books to other users. In today’s digital world, many students and readers face difficulties in finding affordable books in nearby stores. Traditional book purchasing methods consume more time and effort. Sopiko solves this problem by creating a centralized online marketplace where books are available at different price ranges and categories. The website provides separate functionalities for buyers, sellers, and administrators. Buyers can search books, view details, compare prices, add products to the cart, and place orders online. Sellers can upload book details, set prices, manage stock, and track orders. The admin manages users, products, categories, and overall website activities. The system also includes features like user registration, secure login, payment integration, order management, and feedback systems to improve user experience. The project is developed using modern web technologies to ensure better performance, responsiveness, and security. Sopiko aims to encourage book reading by making books more accessible and affordable for everyone. It also promotes the reuse of old books, reducing wastage and supporting environmental sustainability. The platform can be useful for students, teachers, professionals, and book lovers who want a convenient way to buy or sell books from anywhere at any time.
