Working : Rooted has a simple and user-friendly interface with simple click-on buttons and forms. Registration is the first step for signing in the web portal for Farmers with a simple form with their Aadhar card number for verification of farmers and prevention of fake sellers. For customers(buyers) simple form is provided for registration to fill in their details including Home Address for product delivery purpose. Details filled in will directly be stored into the Database (Google Sheets). With the help of data visualization the buyers can go through the different rates of a product through different sellers and make the best choice of their desired product. The graph gives you the total overview of difference in rates of products of other portals and Rooted. The cart is available for the buyers to add all the items and make a buy all at once. Three payment options are made available to the buyers.
