ABSTRACT: A grocery shop is a retailing shop where a general
range freshly packed food products are available. On an everyday life people
have to use a grocery shop to get their livelihood items. To buy the necessary
products people visit a grocery shop, collect the products from different
shelves and then pay for the item and proceed. But many times this process does
not seem very convenient. People nowadays are very busy. In their busy schedule
they always forget to make time for grocery shopping. Some people try to avoid
it because of traffic jam, just to avoid gathering of people. Moreover, in this
global COVID-19 pandemic it can turn into a life threat for a person or family
as well as a nation. Considering all the issues and reasons behind the issues
we think online grocery store can be the
best solution to all the problems. This paper presents the development of web-based
online grocery store where people can do shopping using a computer or a smart
phone sitting at their home very easily. Though online shopping has been known
as a rapidly growing business, and although online grocery shopping has not
followed these same growth patterns in the past, it is now being recognized for
its potential. There will be an admin panel and a user panel. Users have to use
a Gmail to log in and create an account to do shopping.Admin always use their Gmail to
maintain the product availability, the website, the customers and more. This
system is user friendly and it can make people life very easy, safe and time-saving
specially in the e-commerce demanding period of this COVID-19 crisis.
