2. Content
The project aims to develop an online platform for grocery shopping, enabling users to
search for products, purchase items, and manage shopping carts. Admins have additional
functionalities such as managing product categories and inventory.

3. Introduction, Objective & Class Diagram

Introduction
The Grocery Store project is a web-based application designed to streamline online grocery
shopping.

Objective
To provide a seamless and user-friendly platform for customers to buy groceries online
while allowing admins to efficiently manage inventory.

Class Diagram
The system consists of two primary roles (User and Admin) and interacts with the database
to store user and product details.

4. Methodology
The development follows an MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture using Flask for
backend processing and Jinja2 templates for frontend rendering. User authentication and
session management are handled using Flask modules. The application follows a relational
database schema to manage user, product, and transaction data.

5. Tools Used
Backend: Flask (Python framework)
Frontend: Jinja2, CSS, Bootstrap
Database: SQLite, SQLAlchemy
Version Control: Git
6. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Project

Advantages
- Provides a digital solution for grocery shopping.
- User-friendly interface with smooth navigation.
- Efficient inventory management for admins.

Disadvantages
- Limited to a single database (SQLite) which may not scale well.
- Lacks advanced security features for high-volume transactions.

7. Application of the Project


- Can be used by small and medium-scale grocery stores to facilitate online ordering.
- Acts as a foundation for developing a more advanced e-commerce platform.

8. System Architecture
The Grocery Store application is built on an MVC framework, where Flask acts as the
controller, handling requests and responses, while Jinja2 serves as the view layer. The
database (SQLite) is used to store information about users, products, and transactions.

9. Use Case Diagram


Use case diagrams illustrate how different users (Admins and Customers) interact with the
system.

10. Workflow Explanation


1. A user registers or logs into the system.
2. The user browses products and adds them to their cart.
3. The admin manages the product database by adding or removing products.
4. The user proceeds to checkout and makes a payment.
5. Order details are stored in the database for future reference.

11. Security Aspects


To ensure data security, the following measures can be implemented:
- Using hashed passwords for authentication.
- Implementing role-based access control.
- Securing the database with encryption techniques.

12. Future Enhancements


1. Integrating a payment gateway for secure transactions.
2. Expanding to support multiple vendors and dynamic pricing.
3. Implementing AI-based product recommendations.
4. Adding real-time order tracking for customers.
