What is it?
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the online shopping phenomenon, with most local shoppers shopping online. Locally, Shopee takes the crown for the most popular e-commerce platform, with over 10 million monthly visitors in 2020. It is evident that online shopping is taking off, with 26% of Singaporeans shopping online at least once a week and 58% purchasing online at least once a month.
Before the technological age, shoppers had to manually go to different shops and check out their products to compare prices and find the best deal. However, this process is neither efficient nor effective due to the time it consumes, the amount of effort required, and the impossibility of scouring all the online vendors.
With Monee, shoppers would have a one-stop platform to find the best deal. Monee uses bs4 and requests to scrape Amazon.com, which has a wide variety of products of varying prices for different sellers. It then extracts details of the results, such as the product price, ratings and availability. It then outputs the top choices to the user or emails them with smtplib, depending on their preference. Our program allows users to compare prices between various sellers easily and helps them make more informed purchasing decisions.
In conclusion, online shopping is expanding and here to stay, and we would like to use Monee to help shoppers save money by finding the lowest prices for their desired products.
