INTRODUCTION
This project deals with developing a Virtual website ‘E-commerce Website’. It provides the user
with a list of the various products available for purchase in the store. For the convenience of online
shopping, a shopping cart is provided to the user. After the selection of the goods, it is sent for the
order confirmation process. The system is implemented using Python’s web framework Django.
To build a Django e-commerce web application, it is necessary to study and understand many
technologies.
In the digital age, e-commerce websites have transformed how people shop for products and
services. An e-commerce platform allows businesses to showcase their products online, and
customers can easily browse, select, and purchase items from the comfort of their homes.
Python, known for its simplicity and robustness, combined with Django, a powerful web
framework, provides an excellent toolkit to build secure, scalable, and feature-rich e-commerce
applications efficiently.

Why Use Python and Django for E-commerce:
