The problem Freshmart Web Application solves

Earlier, Grocery shopping would take a lot of time and human efforts, since one needed to visit various vendors personally and compare and find fresh groceries at a suitable price. Thus, as a solution to this, Freshmart serves as a platform where customers can find fresh groceries from the comfort of their homes. The products are classified into 3 main categories- Fruits and Vegetables, Oils and Foodgrains, Dairy and Bakery, thus making it easier for users to browse for a particular product. The main highlight of the application is that it offers product comparison i.e a same product sold by various sellers at different price is displayed to the user, which helps them in making an informed decision and find the product most suitable for them. Customers can also add products to a Cart and place their orders through the application and thus, have a hassle-free shopping experience.

Challenges I ran into

Some difficulties were faced in implementing Product Comparison feature, but was successfully resolved using PHP functionalities. Also, rendering all the product details Category-wise and product images dynamically was a tough task but was implemented by storing the data in the MySQL database. Some hurdles were faced while implementing Cart but Session handling in PHP was used to dynamically manage the Cart.
