Description

AN END TO END E-COMMERCE SYSTEM AND A METHOD TO
OPERATE THE SAME
BACKGROUND
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an e-commerce platform, and more particularly to an end to end e-commerce system and a method to operate the same.
[0002] E-commerce is a process of buying or selling of one or more products or one or more services through a means of a communication medium. Further, the e- commerce platform is a system or a platform which supports and enables the process of buying and selling the one or more products or the one or more services between a plurality of retailers and a plurality of consumers.
[0003] One such type of e-commerce platform allows one or more customers to view and select one or more products offered by one or more retailers through a user interface module. Further the one or more customers select the one or more products to be delivered using either by scanning a barcode of the corresponding one or more products or search for the one or more items from the e-commerce platform. Consequently, based on the selection of the one or more products by the one or more customers, a delivery person is allotted by the one or more retailers to deliver the one or more products to the one or more customers. However, in such system, the one or more customers and the one or more retailers cannot keep a track of a movement of the delivery person. Further, such system uses a traditional way for making payments which requires the one or more customers and the one or more retailers must trust a third party through which the transaction has to take place, hence such system may not be secure at times.
[0004] Hence there is a need of an improved end to end e- commerce system and a method to operate the same to address the aforementioned issues.
