Smart Shopping Cart

Traditional shopping methods often require customers to scan items manually at checkout, leading to inefficiencies and long queues. The proposed Smart Shopping Cart Using IoT integrates barcode scanning technology to automatically detect items when placed in the cart. The system updates the total cost in real time and restricts the removal of items until payment is completed, ensuring a secure transaction process. The cart employs RFID/barcode technology, a microcontroller, and a display unit to provide a seamless shopping experience. This innovative approach enhances efficiency, reduces human effort, and minimizes checkout delays.
