Toy-ing with a business opportunity !!!

Nobody in this not-so-empathetic world would ever want an innocent child wailing for something that he/she wants badly. Even more so if that pity thing is a toy and that too when in today's fast moving world when that toy is just a click away. Yes i am very much talking about the "www" power of the internet.
I was just thinking one day of one such website/web-hosted application which could enable me to order toys online. After searching for such sites , i could not find any well established toy selling vendor with a good presence online.
Me being me  , there i saw a business opportunity for an application which could serve the purpose for the parent community and could make good business for the toy making firms or merchandises.

I contacted an old friend of mine , Atisha,  whom i knew from my post graduation times and also was aware of her application building skills owing to her developer background in a famous IT MNC. I know she could do the task well.

As a responsible customer , i gave her the following requirements and also told her that the specifications were open to discussion on all ends and she could even find and suggest any loopholes.
===============================================================

The specifications include the following -: 


Functional Specification:

Registration:
The user/ administrator has to first register using all the details that are asked i.e. Name, Mobile no. , Address specification, Password. Remember the mobile no. and password  for future login.
A Registration confirmation mail will be sent to the email id given.  Email id  used during registration will receive a mail confirming it registration and containing login id credentials.

Login:
Use  login  credentials for entering and ordering of the goods. Login id  should be specific to name / mobile number/ email id .
The password that has to be used , should be given during registration.

For Customer:
After registering and logging into the application, the customer can go for:
Order : The Customer can order for various toys or sports component like cricket bat, carrom board, Table Tennis bat etc.  In this form we need to enter which toy to order and in what quantity. After we enter the quantity demand  When we enter the details of our order , an order id is created and a status is also retrieved (Passed/ rejected)
Order Confirmation:In this the customer after entering the day would .
Payment Details: customer need to enter the name and contact credentials. So as to confirm the payment .
