The Handmade Goods Marketplace is an e-commerce platform that facilitates the buying and selling of handmade items. Sellers can list their creations, set prices, and manage orders, while buyers can browse products, make purchases, and communicate directly with sellers. The platform is designed to support a wide range of handmade goods, from jewelry and clothing to home decor and art.
This website allows for users to create an account where they can purchase and sell products online. On our home page has an area where we feature our seller of the month and a featured item of the month from that store. The user can click on the featured item and it will bring you right to that item details page. You can also select Shop and it will bring you into the store. On the shop page you get a breakdown of all the items available in the shop. The seller page has access to the products being sold in that shop by the seller who is logged in, and you can add products as well. Once you have added items to your cart you can go to the cart page and "checkout" (not a functional financial transaction). This allows users to purchase and sell items on our website. Our project is unique because we only sell handmade items.
