Project's Overview
Online Book Store is a complete MERN Stack e-commerce application designed for online book browsing, customer accounts, cart and wishlist management, Cash on Delivery orders, inventory management, reviews, enquiries, notifications, website content, and administrative reporting.
The platform provides a public storefront where customers can browse books, search the catalog, apply filters, view book details and reviews, add books to a cart or wishlist, manage multiple Indian delivery addresses, place Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, track order status, and review eligible purchased books. Administrators manage categories, authors, publishers, books, stock, customers, orders, COD payment status, reviews, enquiries, banners, website settings, and reports.
The order workflow includes stock-aware cart quantities, delivery-address selection, transactional stock deduction, order confirmation, packing, shipping, delivery, cancellation with stock restoration where applicable, COD payment tracking, notifications, and post-delivery customer reviews.
This project is suitable for B.Tech, M.Tech, BCA, MCA, BE, ME, BSc, MSc, Computer Science, IT, Web Development, E-Commerce, and MERN Stack students looking for a practical final year project, major project, or minor project based on an online bookstore, book management, e-commerce, inventory, order management, React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
