Draw a sequence diagram on this scenario. Consider an e commerce website, the customer will search for the items either by category, by price, by color or by size. the customer will add the selected items to the shopping cart. He/she can either continue shopping or can perform checkout. On checkout bill/invoice will be generated and the customer will enter personal information including email, phone and address; will choose cash on delivery option or card payment. If card payment selected, he/she will enter the card information. The bank object will validate the card, if validated the required amount will be deducted and the item will be dispatched to the provided address in both cases (COD/ valid card payment).
