ABSTRACT
In order to facilitate direct transactions between farmers (sellers) and purchasers, Farm Direct is an online marketplace. To guarantee that only verified users may access the system, the platform offers distinct registration and login modules for buyers and vendors. Before they can access their dashboard, sellers must first register by supplying information such as their name, email address, mobile number, address, company name, and login. They must then wait for admin clearance. Following approval, sellers have the ability to monitor booked products, edit their product listings, add products, and access the buyer list. By limiting the listing of agricultural items to verified sellers, the system fosters a safe and open marketplace. Prior to accessing their dashboard, buyers must additionally complete a registration and approval process. Buyers can view vendor information, follow their order history, and peruse the product list after admin permission. By ensuring that only legitimate buyers and sellers complete transactions, this methodical approach lowers the likelihood of fraudulent activity. While merchants may effectively track bookings, the buyer dashboard facilitates easy product selection, booking, and order management. The platform is a strong option for direct agricultural trading because of its dual-verification method, which increases platform trust and dependability. The market module functions as an administrative interface that offers a thorough summary of buyers, sellers, orders, and products. Admins oversee transactions, handle approvals, and make sure the platform runs smoothly. Farm Direct increases the efficiency of agricultural trading and reduces middlemen expenses by enabling direct communication between producers and purchasers. The platform's admin moderation, role-based access control, and organized workflow all help to create a safe and easy-to-use environment that promotes an equitable and open online market for agricultural goods.
