PENGEMBANGAN WEBSITE E-COMMERCE UNTUK UMKM RACHMA OLSHOP MENGGUNAKAN FRAMEWORK LARAVEL

Abstract

The advancement of information technology and the internet has significantly impacted various aspects of life, including shopping habits. Rachma Olshop, an MSME that sells household necessities, has so far relied solely on WhatsApp for sales operations. Selling through WhatsApp statuses presents limitations, such as a 24-hour display duration and restricted customer reach; moreover, Rachma Olshop only serves customers around Demak with Cash on Delivery (COD) payments. These limitations hinder business growth and potential sales to a broader market. Therefore, a web-based e-commerce platform is needed to facilitate product management, expand delivery coverage, and ease transactions. This study aims to develop a web-based e-commerce platform for Rachma Olshop using the Laravel framework, integrated with Midtrans Payment Gateway for online payments and Indoregion library for nationwide delivery management. The system development follows the waterfall method, encompassing planning, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance stages. With this platform, administrators only need to upload products once via an admin dashboard, making stock and product information management more efficient. The system's development results show that this e-commerce platform can overcome existing limitations, expand delivery coverage, and simplify transactions for customers by offering multiple online payment options.
