Buy and Sell Textbook Platform

Challenge

We developed a comprehensive e-commerce platform for a US client, enabling users to buy and sell textbooks easily. The platform offers a robust search and filter system allowing users to browse books by Category, Price, Type, and more.

The admin portal provides extensive control over book management, delivery logistics, user and seller management, category organization, and payment processing. This ensures that administrators can monitor and manage every aspect of the platform efficiently.

The platform was built with a secure and scalable architecture using CodeIgniter for the backend, PHP and MySQL for database management, and HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and jQuery for the frontend. These technologies work together to deliver a seamless and user-friendly experience for both buyers and sellers.

Key Features:

  • Book Listings: Users can list both new and used textbooks for sale, with detailed descriptions, condition ratings, and prices.
  • Book Search & Filters: Integrated a search functionality with filters like category, price range, condition, and location to help users find the right book easily.
  • Secure Payments: The platform supports multiple payment gateways, including Stripe and PayPal, ensuring secure and reliable transactions.
  • User Accounts: Created user profiles for buyers and sellers to manage their listings, track orders, and communicate with other users.
  • Order Management: Developed an intuitive dashboard for tracking purchases, sales, and managing orders for both buyers and sellers.
  • Rating & Reviews: Implemented a review system to allow buyers to leave feedback for sellers, ensuring trust and transparency.
  • Mobile-Friendly: The platform is fully responsive, offering seamless functionality on both desktop and mobile devices.

The platform simplifies textbook trading, making it easy for users to buy and sell textbooks while ensuring security and convenience through integrated payment gateways.
