E-Commerce Website for Online Nursery Store Plants & Accessories

Online Nursery Store overcomes lots of challenges when compared to an offline store. A separate website for plants and their accessories helps customers to view various kinds of products. It offers all the required features to the customers that let them buy, rate, and leave comments on all the products that are available in the store. Therefore, the idea of Blooming Delights An E-Commerce Website is to provide features to customers like view descriptions, compare prices, can comment on customization ideas, and can follow planting tips that promote gardening. The website recommends customers with the most purchased products, highest-rated products, and recently added products. A chatbot is developed that answers product or order-related queries to customers. After the order is placed, an order confirmation report can be viewed by the client for review.

Problem statement:

But sometimes people do not know specific information about certain plants and the seller does not have technical skills. Build an online nursery store website so that customers can compare prices, view descriptions, and add reviews to a product that helps the customers for a pleasant shopping experience. After the order is placed, an order confirmation report can be viewed by the client for review.

Objective:

The main objective of this E-Commerce Website project is to create an online nursery store website that helps customers compare prices, view descriptions, can comment on customization ideas, and can follow planting tips that promote gardening.
