DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB-BASED PRICE CHECKING SYSTEM FOR THE E-COMMERCE MARKETPLACE
Abstract
The rapid expansion of e-commerce has intensified price competition across
online marketplaces, making it increasingly difficult for consumers to identify
the most cost-effective purchasing options. This study presents the design and
implementation of a web-based price checking system developed to support
real-time price comparison within the e-commerce marketplace. The proposed
system aggregates product price information from multiple platforms,
including Jumia, Konga, and Amazon, thereby enabling users to compare prices
and make informed purchasing decisions. The system was implemented using
modern web technologies—HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and ReactJS—
to ensure responsiveness, scalability, and cross-platform accessibility on both
mobile and desktop devices. A modular system architecture with simulated
API-based data retrieval was adopted to emulate real-time pricing and product
availability. System performance was evaluated using functional and
performance testing metrics, including response time, price accuracy, and user
experience. The results indicate that the system provides a fast, reliable, and
user-friendly interface for price comparison, contributing to improved
transparency and consumer trust in online shopping. This study highlights the
effectiveness of web-based price comparison systems in enhancing consumer
decision-making and promoting efficiency within e-commerce ecosystems.
