Project overview
NWU Student Market, an online platform aimed at offering safe trading among North-West University students. It enables students to buy, sell, and exchange goods and services in a trusted campus environment.
This platform provides a formalised alternative to communicate and trade with other students, eliminating the need for informal ways of selling or exchanging goods, such as WhatsApp groups or social media pages.
The system restricts posting and viewing in the marketplace to verified NWU student accounts, which helps ensure activity remains confined within the university community, promoting safety and trust among users. The platform simplifies the buying and selling process while promoting student collaboration and the sharing of resources.
