Abstract
A custom-built PC is assembled to cater a specific user needs. Internationally, there are many e-stores available for users which offer them to build and order their systems as per their needs. In, 2020, Pakistan observed a covid-19 lockdown and mostly international shipments are cancelled due to the pandemic. This real world situation highlighted the deficiency of local market to fulfill the demands of custom-built PC users. In this paper, we propose and design a generic architecture of an e-store (Nice PC Maker (NPM)) to facilitate users with custom-build PC option along with other added features such as pre-build system purchasing and PC components purchasing. WooCommerce product builders (wordpress) are used to implement the architectural design. We also configured this generic architecture for a local client which helpes them to increase their business and facilitates users to get their desired systems.
