Nwachukwu C.B., F.E. Onuodu . An Enhanced Online Shopping System using M-Wallet. International Journal of Computer Applications. 183, 8 ( Jun 2021), 36-47. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921379
E-commerce is a generally accepted business paradigm in this era of technological evolution. This paradigm fosters the sale, purchase or transfer of funds over an electronic network, basically over the internet. The development of e-commerce gave rise to new terms such as e-payment etc. E-payment is the general method adopted for payments of the e-commerce transaction. There are several e-commerce systems currently available, however these platform has a major issue of lack of secure and efficient payment platform for easy transaction without any glitch. Some of the payment platforms in existence have been hijacked by fraudsters and used to dupe customers who dare to carry out e-payment using their channels. In this work, an enhanced online shopping using M-Wallet has been developed and implemented. The system used encryption algorithms such as MD-5 algorithm to guarantee confidentiality of user’s information. The Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) was adopted in this approach. The system was implemented using Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) and MySQL as database. The proposed system had a total performance score of 40% based on certain parameters, while the existing system had a performance score of 26%. This system will be beneficial to e-vendors, e-online shoppers and the research community.
