1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/online-store.git

2. Database Setup:
   • Open your MySQL database management tool (e.g., phpMyAdmin).
   • Create a new database named mystore.
   • Import the database files/mystore.sql file into the mystore database. This will create the necessary tables and populate them with sample data.
3. Configure Database Connection:
   • Open the files/connect.php file.
   • Update the database connection details if they differ from the default values:

     $host="localhost";
     $user="root";
     $password="";
     $dbname="mystore";

4. Run the application:
   • Place the project folder in your web server's root directory (e.g., htdocs for XAMPP).
   • Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/online-store.

• URL: http://localhost/online-store/admin
• Username: admin@gmail.com
• Password: mystore

The eSewa integration is configured for a test environment. To use it in a live environment, you will need to update the following in esewa.php:

• scd (merchant code): Replace epay_payment with your live merchant code.
• su (success URL): Update the success redirect URL to your live server.
• fu (failure URL): Update the failure redirect URL to your live server.

The PayPal integration is configured with a sandbox account. To use it in a live environment, you will need to update the client-id in handler/paypal.php with your live PayPal client ID.
