 ## Introduction
 
 This project is a demonstration of building an e-commerce application using the MERN stack, which consists of MongoDB (database), Express.js (server), React.js (frontend), and Node.js (runtime environment). The application allows users to browse products, add them to a shopping cart, proceed to checkout, and simulate the order processing. It includes basic validations for user inputs and simulates the checkout process on the backend.
 
+## Live Deployment
+
+The application is deployed live on Vercel. You can access it at the following URL: [Fusion Electronics](https://mern-stack-ecommerce-app-nine.vercel.app).
+
+The backend server is deployed on Render and can be accessed at the following URL: [Fusion Electronics API](https://mern-stack-ecommerce-app-h5wb.onrender.com/).
+
+Please note that the backend server may take a few seconds to wake up if it has been inactive for a while.
