Overview

Buyers around the world want to support small businesses — but they face the challenges of scattered product information, product catfishing, and limited ways to confidently place an order.

This project focuses on creating a mobile e-commerce platform that makes discovering, browsing, and purchasing from small businesses globally just as easy as shopping with major online retailers, while still giving buyers a sense of connection to the makers behind the products.

Problems

Finding small businesses’ products online is often inconvenient. Many business owners rely on social media posts or word-of-mouth, making it difficult for buyers to:

  • Browse what’s available across multiple businesses in one place
  • Compare prices or product options easily
  • Place an order with confidence and secure payment options

Without a simple and trustworthy way to shop from small businesses, users often default to large e-commerce platforms where the process feels straightforward and reliable — even though users would often prefer to buy from small businesses.

Solutions

This project creates a mobile e-commerce platform designed for a seamless small business shopping experience. The app allows buyers to:

  • Discover unique products from small businesses around the world in a single, organised space
  • Browse and compare items with intuitive filters, categories, and search tools
  • Purchase with confidence through a secure, step-by-step checkout flow

By making small business shopping simple, accessible, and trustworthy, this solution empowers buyers to support small businesses worldwide while enjoying a smooth, enjoyable experience.
