My honours project is to create an online shop. The requirements state it has to have delivery tracking and encrypted payment methods. Does anyone know who offers these services? It's not going to be a real shop so I don't really know how they expect me to implement delivery tracking, it's not like I can get a tracking code for an item that doesn't exist and hasn't been posted...
 
Sounds like the kind of thing you should discuss with your lecturers/teachers/colleagues. Gonna be a big task, which your going to have to thoroughly plan out first to get your ideas in order. Don't get fussy about tiny bits like delivery tracking codes. Projects like this have to be looked at as a whole really so you can go about attacking it.

Would it be allowed to use assisted software like Cubecart or is that cheating?

Encrypted payment would mean you need an SSL cert would it not?

As for delivery tracking, it could just mean once an order is sent through you can check it as confirmed once it has been sent? Or link the tracking number from the courier to your site, most couriers offer this.
