Yash001

Hi ,

Mobile application is new for me. I am curious to know. Which is the best design for project?
I would like to create online store application for android, Iphone.

I did some research. I am confuse in between two design. few place I found they are directly calling to Database, and few place I found UI should call to cloud base application and could base application is calling to Database.

Approach 1.

Approach 2.

Here I mention few requirements which I am trying to archive.

User should create the account.
User should create the cart from his account or as guest.
We would like to accept the payment on credit card, debit card, cash on delivery and paypal.
if new offer are available then user should get notification.
if user are login in his account then they can see history of order.
user can set the favourite order so that they can that order next time quickly
if order is in certain amount then avoid the delivery charge.
delivery charge should change with respect to area range.
delivery date and expected time should show while placing order.
if item is out of stock then user can see out of stock.
user should add the tip the want to add.
owner and customer can do chat with help of order number.
user should filter item with respect to Brand, dollar amount, and number of pack.
user should search item with respect from search bar.
customer should put the item review.
customer can get reward points if order from account.
customer can see how much discount they get while placing order such as(special offers, )
customer should get ordered receipt in email.

If any other approach are good for my project then I am happy to accept that approach.
I totally new for mobile application and cloud store. Welcome for any suggestion or good documents.

Hi,

You should start by designing your website (and ensure you have a proper REST API) and then your mobile application.

You have projects like cutelyst that can help get the low level stuff up and running.

As for building a shopping cart, you should search for what is already existing. There's no real use re-implementing the wheel.
