 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Ecommerce or "electronic commerce" is the trading of goods and services online. The internet
allows individuals and businesses to buy and sell an increasing amount of physical goods, digital
goods, and services electronically. We have built “EVARA” the name of our website.

Some businesses sell exclusively online or use ecommerce to expand the reach of their other
distribution channels. Either way, ecommerce is thriving and can be a profitable venture. Let’s
dive into the details of how ecommerce works and find out if it’s right for you. Ecommerce
offers people the convenience of shopping from their computers, phones, tablets, and other
devices. They visit websites, social media pages, and other virtual channels to find what they’re
looking for. Entrepreneurs, startups, small and medium-sized businesses, and large retailers can
all use ecommerce to reach customers across the globe.

Selling online might be a business’s sole revenue source, or it might be part of a multi-channel
selling strategy. For example, a large brick-and-mortar retailer might adopt an online sales
channel, or an entrepreneur might sell a small number of specialty handcrafted goods through a
social media site like Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest.

Another ecommerce example is social media commerce. Some websites like Facebook support
online purchases. A business that generates revenue solely through its presence on social media,
or entrepreneurs who supplement their income using social media marketing techniques, are also
engaging in social media commerce.

Other ways you can participate in e-commerce include building standalone websites, or setting
up shop on an established selling website. For example, you can create a storefront to represent
your brand in the Amazon store.
How does ecommerce work?

Ecommerce works by connecting sellers with customers and allowing exchanges to take place
online. It can work in many different ways and take many forms. Here’s a general overview of
how the process can look:
● The seller chooses online selling channels, like a website or social media, and
promotes products or services for sale.
● Customers find the products or services and place orders.
● A payment processor enables the exchange of the goods or services electronically via
payment options like credit cards or digital currencies.
● The customer receives a confirmation email or SMS along with a printable receipt.
● If the transaction is for goods, the seller ships the products and sends the customer a
tracking number via email or SMS. If the transaction is for a service, the service
provider can reach out to schedule and complete the service.

Along the way, many ecommerce tools and technologies work together to help make online
purchases possible. On the technical side, the transaction can depend on data, logistics,
warehousing, supply chains, and other systems and processes.

What types of e-commerce are there?

Ecommerce takes as many different forms as there are various ways to interact with online
channels. For example, sellers and buyers exchange goods and services through m-commerce,
enterprise commerce, and social selling destinations like Amazon Live.

A few common business models are:

● B2C: Businesses sell to individual consumers, sometimes called the “end customer.”
● B2B: Businesses sell to other businesses. Often the buyer resells products to the
consumer.
● C2B: Consumers sell to businesses. C2B businesses allow customers to sell to other
companies.
 ● C2C: Consumers sell to other consumers. Businesses create online shopping
destinations to connect customers.
● B2G: Businesses sell to governments or government agencies.
● C2G: Consumers sell to governments or government agencies.
● G2B: Governments or government agencies sell to businesses.
● G2C: Governments or government agencies sell to consumers.

Business models can also vary. You might make direct sales, offer customer subscriptions, or
earn money through affiliate marketing and other methods.

Fig 1.1
What are the advantages and disadvantages of ecommerce?
It’ll depend on your business goals, your intended audience, and other factors. Here are some
considerations.

Benefits of ecommerce

1)Accessibility and convenience

Ecommerce owes its rapid growth in part to the ease of access to products and speed of placing
purchases. Once set up, an online store is open 24 hours a day without the need to be monitored
or staffed like a physical store.
Customers can browse a broad selection of offers from around the world, from anywhere with an
internet connection, and place purchases with just a few clicks.

2)Direct access to customers

The internet gives businesses direct-to-consumer access along with the ability to build
relationships with specific audiences and earn customer loyalty. You can tailor your brand image
and marketing to fit customer wants and needs right down to special offers and personalized
product recommendations.

3)Global marketing reach

In the past, a business’s reach was limited by the number of people able to physically enter
through a store’s front doors. Today, the internet allows you to reach customers across the world.
Make use of a wide variety of digital marketing and advertising options like cost-per-click (CPC)
ads and virtual bundles to reach a diverse new mix of customers. Creating and maintaining a
website can be less expensive than running a brick-and-mortar store. We can start an online
business channel without leasing retail space, hiring a team of employees, or having a large
warehouse. Benefit from low overhead when you don’t need to pay rent or worry about building
maintenance.

4)Advances in technology
A wide range of specialists and businesses, including Software as a Service (SaaS) providers, are
continually innovating and finding new ways to improve the online shopping experience.
Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly play a role in helping with
tasks from managing stock levels and storage to delivery and returns. Customers can also make
voice-assisted purchases, enjoy personalized shopping experiences, and try out products with
augmented reality. A low barrier to entry can translate to high competition. It’s important to
select products with care and conduct thorough competitor research to zero in on profitable
product ideas.
5) High Competition
Once you find success in a niche, be on the lookout for counterfeiters and other forms of
infringement. Look into ways of dealing with bad actors like Amazon’s Report a Violation tool.
Available to brands registered in Amazon Brand Registry, a free resource to help you build and
protect your brand, this tool lets you search the Amazon catalog for potential violations of your
active trademarks, copyrights, and patents.

Fig 1.2

Challenges of e-commerce

1)Limited interaction with customers and products

If your business relies on interacting with customers in person, it could be a challenge to expand
into ecommerce. Alternatively, if you prefer communicating with customers via email or phone,
this drawback might be a huge plus. But keep in mind customers could be deterred by a limited
ability to test out or try on products. You’ll also need a system for handling returns or exchanges.
2) Reliance on technology
While technology can be a major benefit, technical difficulties can negatively impact sales. Just
as a hiccup in your supply chain can prevent timely delivery of products, internet issues or a hard
drive failure could cost you time and money. Remember, for every technical issue you might
encounter, there’s probably a solution or a preventative measure you can take, like backing up
your data regularly. You can also lean on the reliable infrastructure of an established store like
Amazon.

3)Data security concerns

Placing a purchase online and sharing payment details and other sensitive information can be a
big barrier for customers. To earn customer trust and convert shoppers to buyers, transparently
share details on your privacy policy and security precautions, like secure payment processing and
how you safeguard personally identifiable information. You can communicate this via your web
presence and in your terms and conditions.

4)Difficulties with Returns

Another disadvantage is that it can be difficult to return products that have been bought online.
This is because businesses often require the product to be returned in its original packaging,
which may not be possible if the product has been used. There may also be shipping costs
involved in returning the product.

5)Lack of Trust

There may be a lack of trust among consumers when it comes to buying goods and services
online. This is because they may be afraid of being scammed or not receiving the product that
they ordered.

 CHAPTER -4

E-Commerce Website And Technologies Used

Designing and developing of “EVARA” our e-commerce website involves creating a

user-friendly platform for businesses to sell products or services online. Here’s an overview of
the designing process and how eCommerce websites work. E-Commerce web design aims to
encourage visitors to make purchases using the correct colors, fonts, images, text, and graphics.
An eCommerce website should be user-friendly, making it easy for users to navigate and find the
products they are after. It should establish trust and create a strong brand identity.

About The Technologies

1) HTML(Hypertext Markup Language):

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the core language for creating web pages. It structures
content using tags and is the foundation for web development.

1. Purpose: Used to create and structure web content such as text, images, links, and
multimedia.

2. Syntax: Uses opening and closing tags (e.g., <p>...</p> for paragraphs).

3. Main Tags:

• <html>: Defines the entire HTML document.

• <head>: Contains metadata (e.g., <title> for the page title).

• <body>: Contains visible page content like headings (<h1>), paragraphs (<p>),
links (<a>), images (<img>), etc.
 ★ Simple HTML structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>Welcome to learning HTML.</p>
<a href="https://example.com">Visit Example</a>
</body>
</html>

Key Features of HTML:

1. Structure:
• HTML provides the basic structure of a webpage, which is then enhanced with
CSS (for styling) and JavaScript (for interactivity).
2. Elements and Tags:
• HTML uses elements enclosed within tags like <html>, <body>, <h1>, etc. Tags
are often paired (e.g., <p>...</p>) to denote start and end of content.
3. Hyperlinks:
• The <a> tag is used to link pages together, making it the “HyperText” in HTML.
4. Media Support:
• HTML allows embedding images, videos, and audio using <img>, <video>, and
<audio> tags.
5. Cross-Platform:
• HTML is platform-independent and supported by all modern web browsers.
HTML Elements Categories:

1. Headings: <h1> to <h6> for titles or headings.

2. Paragraphs: <p> for text.
3. Links: <a> for hyperlinks.
4. Lists: <ul> (unordered), <ol> (ordered), and <li> (list items).
5. Images: <img> to display pictures.
6. Tables: <table>, <tr>, <td>, etc., for tabular data.
7. Forms: <form>, <input>, <textarea>, <button> for user input

2) CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used to control the visual appearance and
layout of a web page. It works alongside HTML to enhance the design and presentation of web
content.

Key Features of CSS:

1. Separation of Content and Design:

• CSS allows you to separate content (HTML) from design (CSS). This makes the
code cleaner and easier to manage.
2. Styling Capabilities:
• CSS can style elements with colors, fonts, layouts, animations, and more.
3. Cascading Rules:
• Stylesheets follow a cascading hierarchy where the last rule applied takes
precedence, allowing for flexible design.
4. Responsive Design:
• CSS makes websites adaptable to different screen sizes and devices using media
queries.
5. Reusability:
• One CSS file can be linked to multiple HTML files, reducing redundancy.
How CSS Works:
CSS works by applying styles to HTML elements using selectors.

Example:

HTML:
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>This is an example of CSS.</p>

CSS:
h1 {
color: blue;
font-size: 36px;
}
p{
color: gray;
font-size: 18px;
}

Output:
The <h1> will appear in blue and larger text, while the <p> will appear in gray and smaller text.

Ways to Apply CSS:

1. Inline CSS: Styles written directly within an HTML element.

<h1 style="color: red;">Hello, World!</h1>
2. Internal CSS: Styles written inside a <style> tag in the <head> section of the
HTML document.
<style>

h1 { color: green; }
</style>
Advantages of CSS:

1. Improves Design: Allows for detailed styling of web pages.

2. Reduces Code Duplication: Styles can be reused across multiple pages.
3. Responsive Layouts: Adapts designs for various devices and screens.
4. Faster Page Load: With external CSS, styles are cached, reducing load time.

3) JavaScript(JS):

JavaScript is a lightweight, cross-platform, single-threaded, and interpreted compiled

programming language. It is also known as the scripting language for webpages. It is well-known
for the development of web pages, and many non-browser environments also use it.
JavaScript is a weakly typed language (dynamically typed). JavaScript can be used for
Client-side developments as well as Server-side developments. JavaScript is both an imperative
and declarative type of language. JavaScript contains a standard library of objects, like Array,
Date, and Math, and a core set of language elements like operators, control structures, and
statements.
● Client-side: It supplies objects to control a browser and its Document Object Model
(DOM). Like if client-side extensions allow an application to place elements on an
HTML form and respond to user events such as mouse clicks, form input, and page
navigation. Useful libraries for the client side are AngularJS, ReactJS, VueJS, and so
many others.
● Server-side: The server side work involves things like communicating with the
database, manipulating files and generating responses. With the runtime environment
Node.js that allows JavaScript to run outside a browser and Frameworks like
Express.JS, JavaScript is now being widely used on the Server side.
● Imperative language – In this type of language we are mostly concerned about how it
is to be done. It simply controls the flow of computation. The procedural
programming approach, object oriented approach comes under this as async await we
are thinking about what is to be done further after the async call.
● Declarative programming – In this type of language we are concerned about how it is
to be done, basically here logical computation requires. Her main goal is to describe
the desired result without direct dictation on how to get it as the arrow function does.
How to Link JavaScript Code in HTML ?
JavaScript can be added to HTML file in two ways:

● Internal JS: We can add JavaScript directly to our HTML file by writing the code
inside the <script> tag. The <script> tag can either be placed inside the <head> or the
<body> tag according to the requirement.
● External JS: We can write JavaScript code in another files having an extension.js
and then link this file inside the <head> tag of the HTML file in which we want to
add this code.

Features of JavaScript
According to a recent survey conducted by Stack Overflow, JavaScript is the most popular
language on earth. With advances in browser technology and JavaScript having moved into the
server with Node.js and other frameworks, JavaScript is capable of so much more. Here are a
few things that we can do with JavaScript:

● JavaScript was created in the first place for DOM manipulation. Earlier websites were
mostly static, after JS was created dynamic Web sites were made.
● Functions in JS are objects. They may have properties and methods just like other
objects. They can be passed as arguments in other functions.
● Can handle date and time.
● Performs Form Validation although the forms are created using HTML.
● No compiler is needed.

Applications of JavaScript
● Web Development: Adding interactivity and behavior to static sites JavaScript was
invented to do this in 1995. By using AngularJS that can be achieved so easily.
● Web Applications: With technology, browsers have improved to the extent that a
language was required to create robust web applications. When we explore a map in
Google Maps then we only need to click and drag the mouse. All detailed view is just
a click away, and this is possible only because of JavaScript. It uses Application
 Programming Interfaces(APIs) that provide extra power to the code. The Electron and
React are helpful in this department.
● Server Applications: With the help of Node.js, JavaScript made its way from client
to server and Node.js is the most powerful on the server side.
● Games: Not only in websites, but JavaScript also helps in creating games for leisure.
The combination of JavaScript and HTML 5 makes JavaScript popular in game
development as well. It provides the EaseJS library which provides solutions for
working with rich graphics.
● Smartwatches: JavaScript is being used in all possible devices and applications. It
provides a library PebbleJS which is used in smartwatch applications. This
framework works for applications that require the Internet for their functioning.
● Art: Artists and designers can create whatever they want using JavaScript to draw on
HTML 5 canvas, and make the sound more effective also can be used p5.js library.
● Machine Learning: This JavaScript ml5.js library can be used in web development
by using machine learning.
● Mobile Applications: JavaScript can also be used to build an application for
non-web contexts. The features and uses of JavaScript make it a powerful tool for
creating mobile applications. This is a Framework for building web and mobile apps
using JavaScript. Using React Native, we can build mobile applications for different
operating systems. We do not require to write code for different systems. Write once
use it anywhere!

Limitations of JavaScript
● Security risks: JavaScript can be used to fetch data using AJAX or by manipulating
tags that load data such as <img>, <object>, <script>. These attacks are called
cross-site script attacks. They inject JS that is not part of the site into the visitor’s
browser thus fetching the details.
● Performance: JavaScript does not provide the same level of performance as offered
by many traditional languages as a complex program written in JavaScript would be
 comparatively slow. But as JavaScript is used to perform simple tasks in a browser,
performance is not considered a big restriction in its use.
● Complexity: To master a scripting language, programmers must have a thorough
knowledge of all the programming concepts, core language objects, and client and
server-side objects otherwise it would be difficult for them to write advanced scripts
using JavaScript.
● Weak error handling and type checking facilities: It is a weakly typed language as
there is no need to specify the data type of the variable. So wrong type checking is not
performed by compile.

Why JavaScript is known as a lightweight programming language ?

JavaScript is considered lightweight due to the fact that it has low CPU usage, is easy to
implement, and has a minimalist syntax. Minimalist syntax as in, has no data types. Everything is
treated here as an object. It is very easy to learn because of its syntax similar to C++ and Java.

A lightweight language does not consume much of your CPU’s resources. It doesn’t put excess
strain on your CPU or RAM. JavaScript runs in the browser even though it has complex
paradigms and logic which means it uses fewer resources than other languages. For example,
NodeJs, a variation of JavaScript not only performs faster computations but also uses fewer
resources than its counterparts such as Dart or Java.

Additionally, when compared with other programming languages, it has fewer in-built libraries
or frameworks, contributing as another reason for it being lightweight.

4) Node.JS

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows

developers to run JavaScript code on the server side. Created by Ryan Dahl in 2009, Node.js has
revolutionized server-side programming by offering an efficient, event-driven, and non-blocking
I/O model.

It’s a powerful tool used for various types of projects. Here are explore some key aspects:

● JavaScript Runtime: Node.js runs on the V8 JavaScript engine, which is also the
core engine behind Google Chrome.
● Single Process Model: A Node.js application operates within a single process,
avoiding the need to create a new thread for every request.
● Asynchronous I/O: Node.js provides a set of asynchronous I/O primitives in its
standard library. These primitives prevent JavaScript code from blocking, making
non-blocking behavior the norm.
● Concurrency Handling: Node.js efficiently handles thousands of concurrent
connections using a single server. It avoids the complexities of managing thread
concurrency, which can lead to bugs.
● JavaScript Everywhere: Frontend developers familiar with JavaScript can
seamlessly transition to writing server-side code using Node.js.
● ECMAScript Standards: Node.js supports the latest ECMAScript standards.

Fig 4.2
Why Node.JS?

Node.js is used to build back-end services like APIs like Web App, Mobile App or Web Server.
A Web Server will open a file on the server and return the content to the client. It’s used in
production by large companies such as Paypal, Uber, Netflix, Walmart, and so on.

Reasons to Choose Node.js

● Easy to Get Started: Node.js is beginner-friendly and ideal for prototyping and agile
development.
● Scalability: It scales both horizontally and vertically.
● Real-Time Web Apps: Node.js excels in real-time synchronization.
● Fast Suite: It handles operations quickly (e.g., database access, network
connections).
● Unified Language: JavaScript everywhere—frontend and backend.
● Rich Ecosystem: Node.js boasts a large open-source library and supports
asynchronous, non-blocking programming.

Fig 4.3
How Node.JS Works?
Node.js accepts the request from the clients and sends the response, while working with the
request node.js handles them with a single thread. To operate I/O operations or requests node.js
use the concept of threads. Thread is a sequence of instructions that the server needs to perform.
It runs parallel on the server to provide the information to multiple clients. Node.js is an event
loop single-threaded language. It can handle concurrent requests with a single thread without
blocking it for one request.

Advantages of Node.JS
● Easy Scalability: Easily scalable the application in both horizontal and vertical
directions.
● Real-time web apps: Node.js is much more preferable because of faster
synchronization. Also, the event loop avoids HTTP overloaded for Node.js
development.
● Fast Suite: NodeJS acts like a fast suite and all the operations can be done quickly
like reading or writing in the database, network connection, or file system
● Easy to learn and code: NodeJS is easy to learn and code because it uses JavaScript.
● Advantage of Caching: It provides the caching of a single module. Whenever there
is any request for the first module, it gets cached in the application memory, so you
don’t need to re-execute the code.

Fig 4.4
 What is Node.JS file?

Node.js files contain tasks that handle file operations like creating, reading, deleting, etc.,
Node.js provides an inbuilt module called FS (File System).

Application of Node.JS
Node.js is suitable for various applications, including:

● Real-time chats
● Complex single-page applications
● Real-time collaboration tools
● Streaming apps
● JSON APIs

Common Use Cases of Node.JS

Node.js is versatile and finds applications in various domains:

1. Web Servers: Node.js excels at building lightweight and efficient web servers. Its

non-blocking I/O model makes it ideal for handling concurrent connections.

2. APIs and Microservices: Many companies use Node.js to create RESTful APIs and

microservices. Express.js simplifies API development.

3. Real-Time Applications: Node.js shines in real-time scenarios like chat applications,

live notifications, and collaborative tools. Socket.io facilitates real-time

communication.
4. Single-Page Applications (SPAs): SPAs benefit from Node.js for server-side

rendering (SSR) and handling API requests.

5. Streaming Services: Node.js is well-suited for streaming data, whether it’s video,

audio, or real-time analytics.

Node.JS Ecosystem
Node.js has a vibrant ecosystem with a plethora of libraries, frameworks, and tools. Here are
some key components:

1. npm (Node Package Manager): npm is the default package manager for Node.js. It

allows developers to install, manage, and share reusable code packages (called
modules). You can find thousands of open-source packages on the npm registry.
2. Express.js: Express is a popular web application framework for Node.js. It simplifies

routing, middleware handling, and request/response management. Many developers

choose Express for building APIs, web servers, and single-page applications.
3. Socket.io: For real-time communication, Socket.io is a go-to library. It enables

bidirectional communication between the server and clients using WebSockets or

fallback mechanisms.
4. Mongoose: If you’re working with MongoDB (a NoSQL database), Mongoose

provides an elegant way to model your data and interact with the database.
