The url for the app is https://superstore.pythonanywhere.com/

This is website store that I built that allows the user to replicate the functionality off any online web store. For example it allows the user to browse through the store, add items to a basket, update or delete the items in your basket, add and delete items to the store's database (you have to be an admin to do so), checkout by filling in your details and picking the method of payment.

Although you need to be admin in order to add or delete the items from the database, I have added an admin dashboard that does not require authorization to view certain things. From this dashboard you can check the number of items left, customers purchased orders and so much more.

Disclaimer The is not a real store but a demonstration store and because of that it does not take any real money, credit cards, etc but it does replicate the buying functionality found in any web store. The pictures used were taking from Topshop and the NeXT website in order to demonstrate the functionality of the store.

5. Type the command "pip install -r requirements.txt" (making sure you are in the root directory) this will install all the dependencies on your virtual environment

6. (First time use only) Open a command terminal make sure you are in the forum root folder and type the command:

   1. python app.py db init
   2. python app.py db migrate
   3. python app.py db upgrade
