ABSTRACT
This research work is focused on the development of an online shopping system using Destiny Electronics in Ikot Ekpene local government area as a case study. The study is necessary because of lack of adequate means to serve the large populace within the state and beyond its environs as a single physical sales outlet could down play on its sales the growth of the business in general. In view of these problems, the objective of the study are to design a system to display all available items in showroom to the and enable customers to choose their desired products and make purchase. To design a system that will enable the administrator view complaints and orders. The design methodology used is object oriented and analysis design methodology (OOADM) while the programming language used is PHP (pHp Hypertext Pre-processor) and the database used is MYSQL.
