E-Commerce Platform

Overview

This project is a full-fledged E-Commerce Platform built using Spring Boot for the backend and React.js for the frontend. It provides seamless product management, order processing, and secure user authentication. The platform ensures efficient data handling with Hibernate and PostgreSQL while leveraging Maven for dependency management.

Features

• User Authentication & Authorization: JWT-based role-based authentication for secure access.
• Product Management: CRUD operations for products, categories, and inventory.
• Order Processing: Secure order placement, tracking, and history management.
• Admin Dashboard: Manage users, orders, and product listings efficiently.
• Shopping Cart System: Add-to-cart, remove, and checkout functionalities.
• Secure Payments: Integration with third-party payment gateways.
• RESTful APIs: Efficient API endpoints for data exchange and frontend interaction.
