eBazarHaat is a full-featured e-commerce website for grocery shopping. It sells everyday groceries, fresh produce, beverages, snacks and personal-care products. Customers can fill a weekly grocery basket from home and place their order in a few steps. The store team runs the catalog, stock, promotions and order fulfilment from one admin dashboard.
One codebase runs three products: a customer storefront, an admin panel and a REST API for a companion mobile app.

Customer Storefront
A fast, mobile-friendly shop front built to make grocery shopping simple.
- Home page with a promotional image slider, a Flash Sale section with struck-through original prices, a Top Sale section, and a row of products for each category with a "See more" link.
- Category and sub-category browsing with SEO-friendly, slug-based URLs.
- Product details pages with an image gallery, pack size and variants, regular and discounted prices, and customer reviews.
- Quick View pop-up so shoppers can check a product and add it to the cart without leaving the list.
- Site-wide product search.
- Newsletter sign-up pop-up to collect subscribers for offers and new-arrival updates.
- Lazy-loaded images and a responsive layout for good performance on phones, tablets and desktops.
- Social sharing of products.
- Content pages: About Us, Contact Us (with an embedded map), Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Customer Account and Checkout
- Registration and login with email/phone and password, plus one-click login with Google or Facebook.
- Email verification and a secure password reset flow with branded email templates.
- Customer dashboard with profile management, password change and account deletion.
- Address book for saving shipping and billing addresses.
- Shopping cart with real-time quantity updates, ideal for building a full grocery basket.
- Wishlist for saving regular buys and favourite products.
- Coupon codes: apply or remove discount codes at checkout.
- Order flow: add delivery details, review the order summary with shipping cost, choose Cash on Delivery and place the order.
- Stock check at checkout: items that sold out while in the basket are flagged before the order is confirmed.
- Order history with full invoice details and status tracking (Pending, Processing, Completed, Cancelled).
- Product reviews and ratings from customers.
Admin Panel (Back Office)
A role-based admin dashboard built on a polished, responsive admin theme with light, dark and semi-dark layouts.
- Analytics dashboard with charts and key business metrics.
- Staff user management: create and manage admin accounts with roles, access codes and online/last-login tracking.
- Store setup: manage store name, logo, contact details, footer content, map, currency and default shipping cost.
- Social media links and homepage slider management.
- Catalog management:
- Categories and sub-categories
- Brands
- Products with descriptions, pack sizes, variants, purchase price, selling price and discounts, plus SEO meta title, keywords and description
- Drag-and-drop multi-image upload with automatic resizing and thumbnail generation
- Inventory management: record stock deliveries with dates and remarks so shelf quantities stay accurate.
- Order management: review invoices and line items, then complete or cancel orders in one click. Order and payment statuses update automatically.
- Coupon management: create fixed-amount ("spend X, save Y") or percentage coupons, with expiry dates, total-usage limits, per-user limits and automatic expiry/limit tracking.
- Newsletter subscriber list.
- Data tables with search, sorting, pagination and export to CSV, Excel, PDF and print.
- Audit trail: every record stores who created, updated and deleted it, and soft deletes prevent data from being lost by accident.
Mobile App REST API
A JSON API that powers the eBazarHaat mobile app, secured in two layers:
- API key verification on all public endpoints so only the official app can use them.
- JWT authentication for customer-specific actions, with token refresh and logout.
API features include:
- Register, login, register-and-login, Facebook login, email/phone availability check, and forgot password
- Category and sub-category menus
- Product listing, products by category or sub-category, and product details
- Customer profile and address updates
- Order placement and order history
- Create, update and delete reviews
- Device registration for push notifications and analytics
- Remote app settings endpoint so app behaviour can change without publishing a new app release
Security and Engineering Highlights
- Separate authentication guards for customers (web), staff (admin panel) and the mobile app (JWT), each protected by its own middleware.
- Hashed, obfuscated IDs in public URLs, so internal database IDs are never exposed.
- CSRF protection, server-side validation and hashed passwords throughout.
- A normalised relational database with foreign keys and soft deletes across 20+ tables: products, images, stock, carts, wishlists, invoices, orders, coupons, reviews, devices and more.
- Orders are stored as invoices with line items, keeping a snapshot of each product at purchase time so order history stays accurate even after prices change.
- Profit is tracked per order line by storing purchase price alongside selling price.
- Clean, modular routing split into Storefront, Admin and API route groups.
