SuperStore User Manual

Detailed walkthroughs, step-by-step simulations, and visual guides mapping all features.

1. Open the Web App & Public Landing Page

Page Structure & Features

  • Global Navigation (Navbar): Locate the brand logo, access your shopping cart, and manage your account sign-in/registration controls here.
  • Verification & Account Status Alerts: Shows warning banners if your email is unverified (with a verification link resend button) or if your profile details are incomplete.
  • Search & Discovery: Use the unified search box at the top to search for nearby shops and items. Results are automatically sorted by proximity.
  • Interactive Sandbox Simulator: An interactive stepper showcasing how to register, set up a shop, restock inventory, make checkout sales, and balance register drawers.

  2. Search for local items or merchants using the unified search bar which auto-sorts closest matches by GPS distance.

2. Merchant & Buyer Account Onboarding

Account Creation & Setup

  • Complete Profile: Upload a profile picture, input your contact number, and select your location (Country, State, and Local Government Area).
Age Verification & Registration Safeguards
  1. Passwords must match, or the register form locks with a validation error.
  2. Profile completion calculates age based on date of birth. Minors under 10 years old are blocked: "You must be at least 10 years old to register."
  3. Address details are mapped via the country database. Submitting saves your location coordinate keys.
