Social Commerce Marketplace

The emergence of social commerce has grown electronic commerce to both businesses and consumers. Social commerce is a merger between electronic commerce and web 2.0 technolo- gies. The number of publications on social commerce has grown exponentially in the past 10 years. Now, social commerce has become a significant emerging research area. We discussed in this project electronic commerce, social commerce, and social networks. We discussed social commerce types and benefits and the differences between social commerce and electronic com- merce. There are two types of social commerce, the first one is the social networks that provide E-commerce and the second one is the E-commerce sites that provide social network capabil- ities. We chose the second type of E-commerce site that provides social network capabilities. We built a platform to help users find carpentry easily, and choose the specifications required in the design. We used social network features on an e-commerce site for carpentry owners. We focused on three features. First is content sharing. Secondly, customers and carpenters will be able to have conversations. Thirdly, customers can follow their favorite stores on the platform. The price is agreed upon between the customer and the carpenter through chat. We made it easier for the user to implement their own design. By having such a system, the opportunity for carpentry companies to enter the world of e-commerce is supported by the characteristics of the social network. This may stand in the direction of Vision 2030 for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
