View of E-commerce system developers-Overview

E-commerce has a profound impact on the convenience of modern life. I have been developing e-commerce systems for five or six years. Today, I will give a summary of e-commerce systems from the perspective of developers.

The e-commerce system consists of the front-end website and background processing system.

The front-end website consists of product display, order generation, payment order, return application, and refund application.

The background processing system mainly includes product management, basic data management, procurement management, inventory management, warehouse operation management, customer management, order management, financial management, return and exchange management, and marketing management, report Management and other modules, see Figure 1.
