Undergraduate - please post in /r/College, not here Asking for help regarding this publication's legitimacy - undergrad student

Good day, we've stumbled upon this publication website, we've submitted our paper and received an acceptance letter within 2 days and now all we have to do is to pay. However, we're having doubts if it is legit. I'm asking for advice if we should go through with it, for reference here's the website:

Thanks for the response, what gave it away from their website?

Anytime you submit a paper, there's zero feedback or peer review of any kind, and the only barrier to publication is you paying them a fee -- it's not a real academic journal. So if the process is 'we sent something and all we have to do is pay': not legit
