PCMod is a web-based application designed for buying or selling PC components online.
Its primary functionality is to facilitate the purchase and sale of computer hardware, including CPUs, GPUs, RAM modules, and other components. Additionally, the platform allows users to submit reviews for the products. The application provides a searchable and filterable product catalog, detailed product pages, secure payment processing, an AI-powered chatbot that acts as a virtual assistant, automated email notifications for user registration and purchase confirmation, and the generation of PDF invoices for completed transactions.
The functionalities available within the application depend on the user's assigned role, with each role having access to a specific set of features.
