Amazon Clone

This is an Amazon clone web application built using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack. It features user authentication, a shopping cart, and payment gateway integration for testing purposes.

Project Overview

The Amazon Clone project is designed to mimic the functionality of the Amazon e-commerce platform. Users can browse products, add items to their cart, and proceed to checkout. The project includes the following key features:

• User Authentication: Users can create accounts, sign in, and sign out securely. Authentication is managed using Firebase Authentication.

• Product Listing: Users can browse a list of products, view product details, and add items to their cart.

• Shopping Cart: Users can add products to their cart, view the cart contents, and adjust quantities or remove items.

• Payment Gateway Integration: The project uses the Stripe API for payment processing. You can test payments using the provided dummy card details (4242 4242 4242 4242).

• Order History: Users can view their order history, including previous orders and their status.
