Amazon - Online Shopping System

Amazon (amazon.com) is the world’s largest online retailer. The company was originally a bookseller but has expanded to sell a wide variety of consumer goods and digital media. For the sake of this problem, we will focus on their online retail business where users can sell/buy their products.

Features

We will be designing a system with the following requirements:

1. Users should be able to add new products to sell.
2. Users should be able to search for products by their name or category.
3. Users can search and view all the products, but they will have to become a registered member to buy a product.
4. Users should be able to add/remove/modify product items in their shopping cart.
5. Users can check out and buy items in the shopping cart.
6. Users can rate and add a review for a product.
7. The user should be able to specify a shipping address where their order will be delivered.
8. Users can cancel an order if it has not shipped.
9. Users should get notifications whenever there is a change in the order or shipping status.
10. Users should be able to pay through credit cards or electronic bank transfer.
11. Users should be able to track their shipment to see the current state of their order.

Rough Solution (LLD-Machine Coding)

Basic Entity

• Admin: Mainly responsible for account management and adding or modifying new product categories.
• Guest: All guests can search the catalog, add/remove items to the shopping cart, as well as become registered members.
• Member: Members can perform all the activities that guests can, in addition to which, they can place orders and add new products to sell.
• System: Mainly responsible for sending notifications for orders and shipping updates.

Final Code

public class Address {
  private String streetAddress;
  private String city;
  private String state;
  private String zipCode;
  private String country;
}

public enum OrderStatus {
  UNSHIPPED, PENDING, SHIPPED, COMPLETED, CANCELED, REFUND_APPLIED
}

public enum AccountStatus {
  ACTIVE, BLOCKED, BANNED, COMPROMISED, ARCHIVED, UNKNOWN
}

public enum ShipmentStatus {
  PENDING, SHIPPED, DELIVERED, ON_HOLD,
}

public enum PaymentStatus {
  UNPAID, PENDING, COMPLETED, FILLED, DECLINED, CANCELLED, ABANDONED, SETTLING, SETTLED, REFUNDED
}

// For simplicity, we are not defining getter and setter functions. The reader can
// assume that all class attributes are private and accessed through their respective
// public getter methods and modified only through their public methods function.
