1.Introduction
BigCommerce platforms and React work hand-in-hand to create dynamic ecommerce
experiences that encourage customers to move along the purchase path. Component-
based development means that sites are delivered quickly and can pivot easily to react
to shifting market needs.

1.1 Purpose
In the context of E-Commerce, React can be used to build dynamic, responsive E-
Commerce web applications that provide a seamless user experience. A React E-
Commerce application typically involves building a product listing page, a
shopping cart, a checkout page, and a payment processing system, among other
things

1.2 Scope
ReactJS enables you to develop ecommerce websites that function smoothly across
various platforms like web browsers, mobile devices, and native mobile apps. This
broadens your audience reach and optimizes your online presence.

1.3 Control Machanisms:

A couple solutions will let you kickstart your e-commerce

development with React:
•Moltin — An API-based e-commerce solution. It allows you
to use React natively to power your applications.
•Cezerin — A React & Node.js-based e-commerce platform.
Enables the creation of PWAs.
•Reaction Commerce — Open-source, real-time platform.
Built on Node.js, but plays nice with React.
There are also a few frontend platforms into which you can
integrate e-commerce functionalities, like Next.js, a lightweight
framework for static and server-rendered apps.

The one I’ve chosen for this post? Gatsby. I’ll integrate it with
our shopping cart for developers, Snipcart. Result should be a
neat, React-powered e-commerce app.

2. Overall Description
2.1 System Overview

1. Set up your development environment

To begin the creation of ecommerce application, create a solid foundation by setting up

your development environment. Install Node.js and npm or yarn, which are essential
tools for managing JavaScript projects. Choose a code editor like Visual Studio Code,
which offers numerous extensions for React development.
2. E-commerce Architecture

A well-structured e-commerce platform requires careful planning and design. Take the
time to outline your application's architecture, considering factors such as component
hierarchy, database schema, routing structure, state management approach, API
endpoints, and project requirements.

3. Core Features

Build the essential features that form the backbone of your e-commerce website. A
product catalog with filters and sorting options allows users to easily browse and find
products. Implement a user-friendly shopping cart component that enables users to
add, remove, and view products. This is because building user interfaces creates a real
difference.

4. State Management

Effective state management is crucial for maintaining data consistency throughout your
application. Have a basic understanding of state management and choose a solution
that aligns with your project's complexity and your team's expertise.

5. Database and Backend

Select a backend solution that meets your scalability needs and budget. Consider using
RESTful APIs with Express.js for custom backend development, or leverage GraphQL
with Apollo Client for a flexible query language.

6. Payment Method

Integrate a reliable payment gateway like Stripe or PayPal to enable secure payment
processing. Implement a secure checkout flow to protect user payment information.
Offer different payment methods to cater to different customer preferences. Handle
errors and confirmations gracefully to provide a smooth user experience.

7. Performance

Optimize your website for speed and efficiency to improve user experience and
conversion rates. Use code-splitting, image optimization, and caching to reduce load
times. Consider using a content delivery network (CDN) to distribute content closer to
users. Minify and bundle assets to reduce their size.
 8. Security

Implement robust security measures to protect your user data and maintain trust in
your business. Use SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt data in transit. Implement JWT
authentication to secure user sessions. Protect user authentication against CSRF attacks
using CSRF tokens. Sanitize user input to prevent malicious code injection. Encrypt
sensitive data like credit card numbers. Conduct regular security audits to identify and
address vulnerabilities.

9. Testing and QA

A comprehensive testing strategy using the React testing library is essential to ensure
your e-commerce website functions correctly and provides a positive user experience.
Write unit tests to verify individual components and functions.

10. Deployment and Monitoring

Once your e-commerce website is developed and tested, deploy it to a production

environment. Choose a hosting provider that meets your scalability and performance
requirements. Set up a CI/CD pipeline for a continuous deployment process. Use error
tracking tools to monitor your ecommerce web application for errors and performance
issues. Implement analytics to track user behavior and website performance.

2.2 Functional Requirements

Top 5 Functional Requirements for E-Commerce Site Development

• E-Commerce Site Development Security Requirements:

• User Interface Requirements.

• Content Management Requirements.

• Integration Requirements.

• SEO Requirements.
2.2 Non-Functional Requirements
1. Performance
 For increasing the traffic on your website, you have to give special attention to the
performance in the non-functional requirements documentation. The focus should be
on loading the e-commerce store as fast as possible regardless of the number of
integrations and traffic on your website. You can set up the speed benchmark,
maximum SKUs which you want to add, or any other performance indicator best for
your business. Don’t consider the 3rd party system delivery time, because the
developers will not have control over the 3rd party API calls.

2. Scalability
 Last but not the least, you have to look for a future-proof solution considering the
scalability. It will define how the website can grow and increase its features and
functionality without impacting the performance of your website. You must be able to
add more memory, servers, or disc space for making more transactions on your
website. On the server side, while entering new markets you may need to add
localization features. Overall, this NFR accounts for painless business expansion and
has both hardware and software implications.

3.Usability:

 Regardless of the size of your business, the website of your business should be easy
to use for even a non-technical user. Do you know that a general user takes just 0.05
seconds to figure out whether the website is worth its time or not? Thus you have to
give special attention to the design of your homepage, CTAs, and easy checkout to
get past those milliseconds of doom. The usability of a website is also defined by:
How easily a user can achieve their target in a single page visit
How quickly they can perform tasks in the store
The memorable & intuitiveness of the design
Number and types of errors users make

4. Security:

Security comes with utmost importance if your site is dealing with monetary transactions,
users’ financial and sensitive data. Using an SSL certificate and data privacy policy will
create trust among the users for your website and convert the customers into brand
advocates. It is also considered for the different admin roles by which you can control
who can create, see, copy, change or delete information. Depending upon the location of
your business, security also refers to compliance with customer data protection rules such
as GDPR in Europe.
5. Maintainability:

The operational costs for maintenance are the tricky part of planning a business
budget. Thriving the website maintenance from the initial development means cutting
the time & cost to determine and resolve the faults of the system in the future. Well, it
sounds sad but there is no way to avoid issues in the future and you have to look for a
website development company that can maintain your website.

3.Specific Requirements
3.1 Software Architecture
In any typical product development process, we need to understand the product’s
purpose, its target audience, and the specific features it needs to serve its users
effectively.
Once the product specifications are established, the next step is to translate these
requirements into a functional design. This design serves as a blueprint that guides the
development team in building the app.
We will follow a similar approach. We’ll identify the necessary pages for our e-commerce
app and create a visual flow diagram to represent the user journey through these pages.
This diagram will act as our roadmap throughout development, ensuring we build a
cohesive and user-friendly app.

Here are some key components we need to outline for our e-commerce app:

•Landing page: A page where users can browse the listed products.

•Product page: Each product should have a dedicated page for detailed
descriptions.

•Checkout page: A necessary page for users to finalize their purchases.

•Login page: A page where users can log into the app.
 •Dashboard page: A page where users can create their products.

•Product add page: A page where the products can be listed.

•Thank you page: A page to acknowledge users after they have made a
purchase.

Refer to the following image.

3.2. User Interface

The user interface (UI) of your E-Commerce website plays a critical role in the user
experience. A well-designed UI can make the shopping process intuitive and enjoyable,
leading to higher user engagement and conversion rates. React, with its component-
based architecture, allows for the creation of modular and reusable components, making
it an excellent choice for building the UI of your E-Commerce web application.
For instance, you might have a Navbar component that contains navigation links, a
ProductCard component that displays a product's image, title, and price, and a Cart
component that shows the items in the user's shopping cart.

3.3 Application Instructions

These include email, online catalogs, shopping carts, Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI), file transfer protocol, web services and mobile applications. These approaches
are used in B2C and B2B e-commerce activities, as well as other types of outreach.

3.4 Simulation Diagram

The structure of your React eCommerce website will depend on your specific
requirements, but a typical eCommerce web application might include pages for
product listing, product details, shopping cart, and checkout.

Let's start by creating a components directory in our src folder. This is where we'll
store all our reusable components. For instance, we might have a Product component
that displays product information and a Cart component that manages the shopping
cart.

3.5 Testing the Simulation

 Assemble all components as per the wiring diagram.
 Upload the Arduino code to the board.
 Test the wheelchair simulation by moving the joystick to control
direction and speed.

4.Result
The aim of the project is to help handicapped and elderly people. To attain this, we
use Bluetooth control techniques. This works very quickly whenever user use these
features the sensors react fast and follow the commands immediately. The smart
wheelchair project successfully integrates voice recognition and gesture control
technologies, providing an effective mobility solution for individuals with
disabilities. The design emphasizes safety through obstacle detection and aims for
high usability and reliability in real-world applications. So, we can say that the
system we make is a life changer for handicapped and elderly people.

5.Conclusion
This project successfully showcases the potential of Arduino-based technology in
transforming traditional wheelchairs into smart mobility. By focusing on user
centric design, safety, and adaptability, we have developed a solution that
addresses the unique challenges faced by wheelchair users. Future research and
development will aim to further refine these features and explore additional
applications of assistive technology in improving quality of life for individuals
with mobility challenges.
