TRADEIFY
E-commerce website with bidding feature.
Tradeify, an e-commerce website with an added feature of bidding. A user can approach this website either to buy/sell products with a fixed price or to buy/sell things through bidding.
WHAT’S TRADEIFY?
Tradeify is an e-commerce website that lets you buy and sell stuff. But here’s the cool part: they also have auctions! You can either buy or sell your products at a fixed price, or you can join the fun and bid on them.
Here’s how auctions work: Sellers can put their stuff up for auction by setting a time limit and a starting price. If you’re interested, you can bid on the product by saying how much you’re willing to pay and waiting until the auction ends. The person who bids the highest wins the product!

WHY WE PLANNED?
The basic intention of an “e-commerce” was for improving and testing our development skills. An e-commerce website will be a project that will be neither easy nor hard to work with. As for a web developer, building an e-commerce website as the project is very necessary cause it will deals with every aspects of the web development i.e. UI designing, processing, database etc.
But we both needs a feature in our project that make the project stands out from other projects. So in addition we introduced a bidding feature to this project where sellers can sell products through an auction.
HOW WE BUILT
As this was not a personal project, we got a time limit for the development. Also this was our first full-stack project. While developing this project we surely don’t know how are these datas like images are handled and get stored in a professional way. So we figured out how to store these datas in our own way - store the relative path of the images in the database. Turns out this was how to store the images in a professional way.
