Abstract: The technological revolution has proven to be a threat to business of all local retailers. Moreover, the COVID regulations which pushed buyers to choose online services over local merchants, have only made it more challenging for small enterprises to sustain in the market. Even after the COVID restrictions were reduced, local stores continue to suffer losses with minimal footfall as they could not offer their services online. This paper focuses on developing an application to address this issue. The application is primarily concerned with giving small, local sellers access to the advantages offered by major e-commerce oligopolies. A recommendation system will be included to increase sales. The recommendation system will be trained using the orders data from the application itself. The application gives customer access to local stores and offer pick-up or delivery alternatives at their homes. To make the app user-friendly, the consumer can browse through it using a variety of filters. Provide them with spending statistics. Since the customers already know their local merchants, it’s easier for them to trust the quality of goods they will receive
