Inspiration

Going to shopping with friend or family is always fun, but how do we go for shopping in a group in online e-commerce? Well we have a solution, introducing Social Shop an e-commerce platform where you along with your friends or family can visit for group shopping. Our aim is to improve online experience and make it as intuitive and interactive as we shop offline in groups!

What it does

Through the platform shoppers’ friends or family members become involved in the shopping experience through a small chat section where they can share product details directly through the e-commerce portal and have a conversation with them, and they can also poll between the products which they like. They will get reward for adding members for chat. We have provided a smart chatbot assistant and the platform is also available in multiple languages.

How we built it

We decided to combine our knowledge into the most efficient way possible, by using the MERN stack:

  • Frontend - React.js
  • Backend - Node.js & Express
  • Database - MongoDB

Each of us knew how to complete a specific section of the project utilizing our skills to the maximum

Challenges we ran into

Time Constraint!! We strictly followed time limits! Check our git commits!! Team constraint! We are only 3 team members. To integrate application was a pain, and still not completely resolved. But we are anyways going to fix it and make it look awesome! Also, used MongoDB Atlas (Cloud DB) for the 1st time!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have created an entire, fully-fledged web application in a tiny fraction of the time which is usually required for such projects

What we learned

We learned a lot about collaborating together as part of a team, using GitHub and it's many features to their fullest potential

What's next for SocialShop
