The paper presents a logical development of an integrated, secured and intelligent e-commerce platform for a more secured online transaction. The system is implemented using a 3-tier approach, with a backend database, a middle tier of Php-MySQL platform and a web browser as the front end client. Some of the applicable technologies include multi-tiered architecture, server and client side scripting techniques, Php programming, and relational database (such as MySQL). An e-payment system using shopping cart (smart card) with in-built security system to protect buyers from exposing their pin codes to fraudsters was used for transaction. The system made use of encryption techniques to hide the vital information concerning the shopping cart in use, so as to avoid un-authorized access to the shopping cart information. The access control is divided into users, database administrators and control panel. The database administrator end upload and update products, delete products, view payment and view customer on the platform while users access the online purchase platform by viewing product, checking shopping cart balance, placing order and making payment using shopping cart. Control panel create, fund shopping cart and create administrator password.
