Plant Shopping in PHP Application Projects
Abstract
The Plant Shopping System is a PHP–MySQL based web application that provides an online platform for customers to buy plants, seeds, gardening tools, and related accessories directly from sellers or nurseries. This system allows administrators to manage product listings, inventory, pricing, and customer orders. Customers can browse various categories, compare prices, add items to their cart, and pay securely online. By digitizing plant shopping, the system enhances accessibility, reduces manual effort, and improves the overall shopping experience for gardening enthusiasts.
Existing System
Currently, plant shopping is mainly done offline through nurseries or local markets. Customers must physically visit stores to check plant availability, compare prices, and make purchases. Inventory records are maintained manually by sellers, leading to stock inaccuracies and delays in replenishment. This manual process also limits the seller’s reach to local buyers only and makes it difficult for customers to find specific or rare plants. Lack of digital payment options and home delivery further reduces convenience.
Proposed System
The proposed Plant Shopping System automates the entire plant purchase process using PHP and MySQL. Administrators or sellers can register and list products with detailed descriptions, images, pricing, and availability. Customers can register, log in, search or filter plants by type, price range, or category, and place orders online. The system supports secure payments, order tracking, and notifications for customers about delivery status. It also provides reports to sellers on sales trends, inventory levels, and customer preferences. By offering a centralized, secure, and user-friendly platform, the system increases seller reach, improves customer convenience, and brings transparency to the plant shopping experience.
