App Features
Login/Sign up
The user is able to login to the Mini Amazon store or sign up for a new account. Django authentication is used to ensure security and robustness of the web application.
Search and Filter
Users have the convenience of searching for various product categories available in the web store, such as gloves, enhancing their browsing experience. Additionally, a user-friendly categories dropdown feature allows for effortless filtering of desired items, ensuring a seamless shopping experience.
Place Orders
The user can buy products by placing an order where they specify their address (a Cartesian coordinate), product, product count, and their email. Once the order is placed, a confirmation email will be sent to the user.
Check Order Status
The user can check the status of any of their orders. The time that takes to process the orders depends on the speed of the world simulator, whose details can be read in this repo:

Contact
To facilitate effective communication between users and the Mini Amazon store, a user-friendly email functionality is incorporated, allowing users to easily send emails for inquiries or concerns. This feature ensures seamless interactions and fosters better customer support, enhancing overall user satisfaction.
