💡[FEATURE]: Enhance "Adopt Pet" Process for Improved User Experience

[gayatri-p786]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, clicking the "Adopt" button on our pet adoption website does not initiate any adoption process. This results in a confusing and frustrating experience for users who are interested in adopting a pet.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to implement a streamlined "Adopt Pet" process when users click the "Adopt" button. The solution should include:

• Initiating a clear and guided adoption flow that prompts users to confirm their intention to adopt.
• Integrating user authentication or registration steps if required before proceeding with the adoption process.
• Providing immediate feedback to users upon initiating the adoption request, informing them about the next steps and requirements.
• Ensuring transparency by outlining the complete adoption process, including visitation, paperwork, payments, and post-adoption support options.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatively, we could:

• Implement a temporary placeholder message or modal explaining that the adoption feature is currently under development.
• Temporarily redirect users to a dedicated adoption information page with contact details until the full adoption process is implemented.

Additional context The current lack of functionality for the "Adopt" button diminishes user trust and engagement. Implementing a functional adoption process will not only enhance user experience but also increase the likelihood of successful pet adoptions through our platform.

@gayatri-p786 Most aspects of the authentication process will be handled on the signup/login page which is being implemented by another contributor, can you give me an outline of what is the adoption process you are planning going to look like

[gayatri-p786]

The flow that i thought would be as follows:

• On the pet details page, users find an "Adopt" button. Clicking the button triggers the adoption process.
• If not already authenticated, users are redirected to the signup/login page.
• Upon successful login or registration, users are returned to the adoption process.
• Users complete an adoption application form.
• Form collects personal information (name, contact, address) and adoption preferences (reason for adoption, living conditions).
• Users submit the adoption application.
• Application is processed by the adoption organization or shelter.
• If approved, the organization contacts the applicant with Details of adoption fees, scheduling a meet-and-greet, and finalizing paperwork are discussed, which can be sent via email. (but this is on part of the shelter/admin).

We can stop here and have the further process manual for now or even go ahead and integrate following advanced features:

• Another confirmation for adoption is taken from the user.
• Once confirmed, during the finalization stage, the web application provides access to digital adoption contracts or paperwork that can be reviewed and signed electronically.
• Payment processing for adoption fees can be integrated into the web application, allowing applicants to securely submit payments online.

See that is what i am saying, we are already collecting information like the name, contact and address at the time of signup, so we don't need to collect it again, the idea was that we would just store the user Id for the person who is adopting the pet, the thing you can do is, just have a single adopt button on the pet's page, the user details are fetched from the bearer token in the cookie, that logic would be in an authentication middleware, this user Id can then be used for the application process

And the advanced features are a really cool bunch of ideas which we can definetly implement

So how about I start working on the form after authentication like reason for adoption, the future living conditions for the pet, if the person had pets previously and so on. Then that form can be approved or declined by admin and then it can move on to digital adoption paperwork and payment integration. If that seems okay, then I can start working on this.

Works for me @gayatri-p786 Assigned

Hi, I have completed adoption form component for frontend. For backend, fetching userId needs the Authentication Backend done so that i can fetch from cookie or session. How do I proceed?
