This is the backend for the Murife online shopping community app where our API exists.
Murife shopping website is used to help customers make the right choice when it comes to purchasing products online. The site gives the user an avenue to search for a product, compare the product's cost and marginal benefits based on prices, ratings, mode of payment etc, and decide which product they want and from which online shop.
