Smart Cart (Overview)

The SMART CART project is a web application that enables customers to scan product barcodes using a laptop webcam, manage their shopping cart, and complete payments through QR codes. It utilizes a technology stack including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js for the frontend, and Python with Flask, OpenCV, and MySQL for the backend. The project is structured into a detailed flow with specific weekly goals for database setup, barcode detection integration, cart management, payment simulation, and testing.

SMART CART (software web application)

💡 Project Overview:
1. Product Detection: Customers show each product’s barcode to the laptop webcam.
2. Barcode Scanning: The system detects and decodes the barcode, adding the product to the
shopping cart.
3. Cart Management: The cart displays product details, quantity, and total price.
4. Inventory Update: Backend reduces product stock based on purchases.
5. Payment: A QR code is generated for seamless checkout.
6. Final Confirmation: Payment verification and purchase completion message.

⚡ Technology Stack:
1. Frontend:
o HTML, CSS, JavaScript (for UI)
o React.js (for dynamic and responsive UI)
o Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS (for styling)
2. Backend:
o Python (Flask framework for server-side logic)
o OpenCV + Pyzbar (for real-time barcode detection)
o MySQL (for product and inventory management)
3. Payment Integration:
o QR Code generation with qrcode Python library
o UPI-based payment simulation (for demo purposes)
4. IDE:
o VS Code (with Python, Flask, and React extensions)

Detailed Project Flow:


1️⃣ Product & Inventory Management
 Create a MySQL database with tables for each category (Fruits, Vegetables, Dairy, Snacks,
Beverages).
 Each product entry: id, name, category, barcode, price, quantity_in_stock.
2️⃣ Barcode Detection Module
 Integrate OpenCV and Pyzbar for real-time barcode scanning via the laptop webcam.
 On detecting a barcode, fetch product details from the database and display them in the cart.
3️⃣ Cart Management System
 Build an interactive cart interface in React.js.
 Allow users to add/remove items.
 Update total cost dynamically.
4️⃣ Inventory Update Process
 On confirming the purchase, reduce the product quantity in the database.
 Handle cases when stock runs out.
5️⃣ QR Code Generation for Payment
 Generate a UPI QR code for the total amount.
 Simulate payment confirmation and show a success page.

🚀 Step-by-Step Approach to Proceed:


1. Week 1: Database & Basic Frontend Setup
o Design the database schema for product categories.
o Build a basic frontend for product display and cart management.
2. Week 2: Barcode Detection Integration
oWrite Python code for real-time barcode scanning.
oConnect barcode output with the MySQL database for product retrieval.
3. Week 3: Cart & Inventory Integration
o Develop a functional cart that interacts with the backend.
o Ensure real-time stock updates after each transaction.
4. Week 4: Payment Gateway Simulation
o Integrate QR code generation.
o Build a payment confirmation page.
5. Week 5: Testing & Optimization
o Conduct end-to-end testing for all modules.
o Optimize the webcam barcode detection for speed and accuracy.

✨ Next Steps:
Shall we start by setting up the database and barcode detection module first? I can provide you with
the initial code for real-time barcode detection using OpenCV and Pyzbar.
