This project is a lightweight yet powerful e-commerce solution built for small and medium businesses that want to sell products online without the complexity of a full checkout and payment gateway system. Instead of a traditional checkout, the platform integrates direct WhatsApp communication, allowing customers to place orders and ask questions instantly.

The website provides a user panel where customers can browse products, add items to their cart or wishlist, and manage their accounts. When ready to purchase, customers can simply click the “Order via WhatsApp” button, which sends the product details directly to the seller’s WhatsApp for quick processing.

This approach ensures faster communication, lower development costs, and easy adoption for businesses that rely on direct customer interaction. It blends the convenience of e-commerce with the personal touch of direct messaging.
