As the world's knowledge is increasingly being published or converted into an ecommerce form, one of the greatest challenges is designing systems that enable users to find what they need. Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. Nowadays, people are getting busier and even busier and so they have limited time to go to the bookstore to find and buy the desired books. So, it will be much better to have an online bookstore in UTP to ease the users and to save time as well. Basically, Online Bookstore is purposely going to be developed because of some objectives which are to ease the users, to save time, to enable user to search the information of the books at anytime and anywhere they wish and also to make these materials more broadly, quickly and efficiently accessible Basically, to make things done, a lot of things need to be considered especially in integrating the system with the database. In order to do that, the system must be connected to the database. The methodology applied for this project is The Waterfall Development Methodology which involved 4 different steps which are Planning & Problem Definition, Information Gathering & Research, Design, Building Application, and last but not least is Testing. As a conclusion, in developing this system, a lot ofthings need to be done especially to understand the concepts of mobile application, how to connect to database and how to fix the error or any problems that occurred.
