E-commerce web application using Django:

Ecommerce project made with Django and basic HTML & CSS. I have used both class-based and functional views throughout the project, PostgreSQL for database, Celery for handling emails and Django-Filter for category filtering. API's for admin side are included in the app named api. For payment integration, I have used Paypal's API.

Features:

Admin side:

• Add new products.
• Edit details of the existing products.
• Delete existing products.
• View all orders.
• Change order status.
• Filter orders based on their status.
• View the order details.

User side:

• Registration and authentication.
• Add and remove products to cart.
• Update the quantity of cart.
• Payment can be done with paypal.
• Products can be filtered by category.
• Search filter.
• Confirmation email after order successfully placed.
• View complete order history.
• View order details.
• Update profile details.

Technology stack:

1. Python 3.6.5
2. Django REST Framework 2.1
3. PostgreSQL 13.1 Database
4. Google Chrome
