Smart Shopping Trolley with Automated Billing using Arduino

Shopping can be an exciting experience, but the long queues at checkout can often leave us feeling drained. customers have to wait in line to have each item individually scanned at the counter, which can be time-consuming, especially during peak shopping hours. This inefficiency not only leads to customer frustration but also affects the overall shopping experience. To tackle this issue, a solution is proposed: the smart shopping trolley with automated billing. This innovative approach allows customers to breeze through their shopping journey. With the smart trolley, shoppers can effortlessly select their items and complete their purchases without the hassle of traditional checkout lines. The trolley automatically generates bill, which is conveniently sent to the customer via app. The customer can make the payment using the app. This system incorporates various components, including an Arduino board, RFID reader for item identification, LCD display for user interaction, Wi-Fi module for connectivity, and sensors for theft detection and an app for the payment. This process not only reduces waiting times but also enhances overall efficiency,making shopping a more pleasant experience for customers.
