Introduction

The swift-create project aims to develop a comprehensive e-commerce website tailored to meet the needs of users in India. This document outlines the system requirements necessary to achieve the project's objectives.

System Overview

The swift-create project will deliver a user-friendly e-commerce platform that facilitates seamless online shopping experiences. The system will support various functionalities, including product browsing, secure transactions, and user account management, all optimized for the Indian market.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to browse products by categories.
• As a User, I should be able to search for products using keywords.
• As a User, I should be able to view detailed product descriptions and images.
• As a User, I should be able to add products to a shopping cart.

Core User Flows

• User browses categories -> selects a product -> adds to cart -> proceeds to checkout -> completes payment -> receives order confirmation.
• Admin logs in -> updates product inventory -> reviews new orders -> processes shipments -> handles customer inquiries.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #FF5722 (a vibrant orange to reflect energy and enthusiasm)
• primary_light: #FF8A50 (a lighter tint of orange for hover states)
• secondary: #4CAF50 (a green to symbolize trust and growth)
• accent: #FFC107 (a bright yellow for call-to-action elements)
• highlight: #03A9F4 (a blue for notifications and active indicators)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white background)
• surface: #F5F5F5 (a light grey for cards and panels)
• text: #212121 (a dark grey for primary text)
• text_muted: #757575 (a softer grey for secondary text)
• border: #E0E0E0 (a subtle grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The swift-create homepage will feature an interactive "Marketplace Journey" concept. Users will be greeted with a dynamic illustration of a bustling marketplace that evolves as they scroll. Each section of the marketplace represents a different product category, with animated characters interacting with products. As users hover over different areas, they can click to explore product details, simulating a real-world shopping experience.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing hero will depict a vibrant market scene where products are displayed on stalls. As users scroll, the scene transitions from morning to evening, showcasing different products and offers. The animation will loop every 10 seconds, with characters moving around the market, engaging with products. Users can interact by clicking on stalls to view product details. This will be implemented using motion/react for smooth transitions and interactions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The intended interaction model for the swift-create landing page is "parallax." The layered depth will be achieved through scroll, with decorative elements like market stalls and characters translating at different speeds. This approach will create a visually rich first impression, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the e-commerce experience.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The website must load within 3 seconds on a standard broadband connection.
• The system must handle at least 10,000 concurrent users.
• The platform must comply with local data protection regulations in India.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: FastAPI
• Database: MySQL
• AI Models: GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses
• Local Orchestration: Docker
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The platform will primarily target the Indian market, considering local preferences and regulations.
• The system will support multiple payment gateways popular in India.
• The website will be optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
