Online shopping has been shown a good potential market due to increase of technology. This paper implements online system for online store which will support customers from various locations to be able to purchase items from online store and make online payment for the total amount of goods purchased. This order will be submitted to online store database where system admin will be able to verify payment and prepare shipping. In this project only USD currency is accepted in the system. Also due to difficult in calculating various shipping cost in different location across the world fixed shipping cost is used. Visa card, Master card and Mpesa are acceptable in this system.

This paper presents a situation analysis and implementation of Distance Training Programme (DTP) Semester Examination Results Access (SERA) through Short Message Service (SMS) available anytime and anywhere. ‘Texting’ or SMS mobile phone messaging is rapidly increasing communication in business and community service. The prompting scenario addressed in this paper is the release of semester examination results (marks) at
one and only one place: The UR-CE main campus notice board, regardless of the geographical dispersion of intended audience: The DTP students. To study the DTP students’ access to semester examination results via mobile SMS implementation possibilities, analysis of available telecommunication infrastructures, and services coverage in the country (Rwanda) was done. Then a survey was conducted on the information system implementation status at UR-CE, and the DTP management staff and students perceptions toward mobile SMS to support DTP administration communications. In the paper we discuss the inclusion of SMS technology among
the DTP administration communication channels to permit DTP students at UR-CE access the semester examination results through mobile SMS technology. The SMS pull method is proposed for implementation in regards to the SERA communication. The implementation success of DTP semester examination results access via SMS is likely to improve the communication to both DTP administration and students sides.

This paper reports on a study carried out to establish the basis of designing an Offline Distance Training Programme Mobile Short Message Service Communication System (ODTPmSMSCS) intended to improve administrative communication within the Distance Training Programme (DTP) at University of Rwanda-College of Education (UR-CE). The paper outlines the ODTPmSMSCS structure, potential users and the associated
implementation challenges such as lack of a policy for SMS to be among the official communication channels of the DTP. In addition to the implemented prototype, the paper presents some recommendations to be considered for implementation by the UR-CE managers to assure that users are committed to use and allow for sustainability of ODTPmSMSCS to take advantage of the technologies the DTP students already have.
