(Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the database tables.
 ● Database Layer: The database layer stores all the data related to users, products,
orders, and transactions. MySQL is used as the database management system,
providing a reliable and scalable solution for data storage.

System Architecture Diagram: The system architecture diagram visually represents the
flow of data and interactions between the different layers of the platform. It illustrates how
the user requests are processed by the presentation layer, passed to the business logic layer,
and then to the data access layer, which interacts with the database to retrieve or store data.

3.2 Data Flow Diagrams (DFD)

Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) are used to represent the flow of data within the system. They
help in understanding how data moves through the platform and how different components
interact with each other.

Level 0 DFD (Context Diagram): The Level 0 DFD provides an overview of the entire
system, showing the interactions between the external entities (users and administrators) and
the system. It highlights the key processes, such as user registration, product browsing, order
placement, and payment processing.

Level 1 DFD: The Level 1 DFD breaks down the main processes into sub-processes,
providing more detail about how data flows through the system. For example, the "Order
Processing" process is divided into sub-processes such as "Add to Cart," "Checkout,"
"Payment," and "Order Confirmation."

Level 2 DFD: The Level 2 DFD further decomposes the sub-processes into individual tasks,
showing the detailed flow of data between different components. This level of detail helps in
identifying potential bottlenecks and optimizing the system’s performance.

3.3 Database Design

The database design is a critical aspect of the system, as it determines how data is stored,
retrieved, and managed. The database schema is designed to support the platform’s
functionality, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagram: The ER diagram represents the relationships between

different entities in the database. The key entities include Users, Products, Orders, and
Payments. Each entity is associated with specific attributes, such as user ID, product name,
order date, and payment status. The relationships between these entities are defined by
foreign keys, ensuring referential integrity.

Database Schema: The database schema defines the structure of the database tables,
including the columns, data types, and constraints. For example, the Users table includes
columns for user ID, username, password, email, and role (customer or admin). The Products
table includes columns for product ID, name, description, price, and stock quantity.

3.4 User Interface Design

The user interface (UI) design focuses on creating an intuitive and responsive experience for
both customers and administrators. The design follows best practices for usability,
accessibility, and mobile-friendliness.

Wireframes: Wireframes are used to plan the layout and structure of the web pages. They
provide a visual representation of the UI elements, such as navigation menus, product
listings, and forms. Wireframes help in organizing content and ensuring a consistent design
across the platform.
