AM BOOK STORE PROJECT

by: Ariel Elbahar and Moses Corcias

About this project...

the am book store is an e-commerce web app for books. right now there is only us as admins so only we can actually sell stuff.

a user can log in to our system and search for books and add what he wants to the cart and ofcourse in the end - pay for it via visa or paypal. user can see all his purchase history and can update his details.

an admin user can do CRUD ops on the books in the store and see all the users orders and process them.
