Abstract - The emergence of cloud-based technologies has  revolutionized the e-commerce sector, facilitating innovative  features for enhanced user experiences. This study addresses  the need for a more sophisticated e-commerce platform by  incorporating store selection and price comparison features  within a cloud-based framework. Current e-commerce  platforms lack seamless integration of store choices and  comprehensive price comparisons, leading to suboptimal  consumer decision-making. This research aims to bridge this  gap and create a more informed shopping experience for  users.The existing e-commerce landscape falls short in  providing users with a unified platform that seamlessly  integrates store selection and price comparison features.  Shoppers are often required to navigate through multiple  websites and apps to assess store options and compare prices,  leading to inefficiencies and confusion.The proposed cloud based e-commerce platform leverages a combination of web  scraping and API integrations to collect data from various  online stores. This data includes product prices, availability,  and store details. A user-friendly interface is developed to  present users with a unified view of store options and price  comparisons. The platform's backend operates on cloud  infrastructure, ensuring scalability and responsiveness.The  implemented cloud-based e-commerce platform successfully  integrates store selection and price comparison features. Key  findings reveal that users can efficiently explore different  stores, leading to more informed purchase decisions. Price  variations across stores are presented clearly, aiding users in  making cost-effective choices. The discussion highlights how  the platform's cloud architecture contributes to its scalability  and adaptability, accommodating future expansions and  enhancements.Incorporating store selection and price  comparison features within a cloud-based e-commerce  platform addresses the limitations of existing solutions. The  platform empowers users with the ability to make well informed purchasing decisions and enhances their shopping  experience. By leveraging cloud infrastructure, the platform is  positioned for future growth and improvements, ensuring  continued relevance in the dynamic e-commerce landscape.
