In order to get an interaction between seller and buyer, there is an urgency to develop a
dynamic web, which needs the technology and software. One of the programming languages is

other component as an interface between application and database is ActiveX Data Objects
(ADO). ASP has an advantage in the scripting method and it is easy to make the configuration

This prototype has the facilities for editing, searching and looking through ordering
information online. Users can also do downloading process for searching and ordering articles.
Paying method in this e-commerce system is quite essential because in Indonesia not everybody
has a credit card. As a solution to this situation, this prototype has a form for user who does not
have credit card. If the bill has been paid, he can do the transaction online. In this case, one of the
ASP advantages will be used. This is called “session” when data in process would not be lost as
long as the user still in that “session”. This will be used in user area and admin area where the
