Description

An e-commerce platform that handles complex state management using Redux.

User Story

As a user interested in online shopping, I would like an application that allows me to track items I want to buy in a virtual shopping cart that updates when I add or remove items, and a platform that accepts my payment online for my purchases.

Features

When first visiting the homepage, users can browse items for purchase and use filters to search for items.

Users can view specific items for more information.

Users can add and remove items from their cart and view their cart to see updated items.

If a user leaves the web page, the items will be saved in their cart for when they return.

Users are prompted to log in to check out from their cart. After signing up or logging in, users are able to purchase the items from their cart.
