 INTRODUCTION

We all go shopping to buy products of our requirement. We all

would have observed that the shops are moving towards digital
systems for bill computation. In this Python project, we will be
building such a shop management system to manage the shop
products and bills.

About Shop Management System:

Shop management is an application that helps in
managing the products and tracking the sales in the
shop. This is a project that not only reduces labor and
time but also helps the user have a record of the sales in
a database.

Shop Management System using Python:

We will build this project using the Tkinter and MySQL
Connector modules in Python. We use the MySQL
Connector to store the details in a table and access
them. Using this we will build GUI where the user gets to
do the following:

1. Add a product
2. Delete a product
3. View all products
4. Generate a bill and store it in a database
PREREQUISITES

Prior knowledge on Python, the Tkinter module, and MySQL

queries would help the developer while building this project. You
can install the above modules using the following commands.

1. PIP INSTALL MYSQL-CONNECTOR

2. PIP INSTALL TKINTER

PROJECT FILE STRUCTURE

The following steps are to be followed to build Python shop
management system project:

1. IMPORTING THE MODULES

2. CONNECTING TO DATABASE AND CREATING TABLES
3. CREATING THE MAIN WINDOW
4. FUNCTION TO ADD PRODUCT
5. FUNCTION TO DELETE PRODUCT
6. FUNCTION TO VIEW ALL PRODUCTS
7. FUNCTION TO CREATE A NEW BILL
WORKING EXPLANATION

1. IMPORTING THE MODULES:

THE FIRST STEP IS TO IMPORT THE TKINTER AND MYSQL

CONNECTOR MODULES.

CODE EXPLANATION:

Font in tkinter is used to set the font of the text.

messagebox helps in showing the pop up messages.
2. CONNECTING TO DATABASE AND CREATING TABLES:

CODE EXPLANATION:

connect(): It is used to connect to the database server on your

device using the username and password.
cursor(): The cursor object helps in executing the SQL queries.
execute(): This executes the command given as input.
3. CREATING THE MAIN WINDOW:

Now, we create the main window with buttons to do the following

operations:
a. Add a product
b. Delete a product
c. View all products
d. Generate a bill and store it in a database
CODE EXPLANATION:

title(): It displays the title on the top of the window.

config(): It sets the background color of the window.
geometry(): It sets the length and width of the window.
Frame(): It creates a Frame, a rectangular object that holds
various widgets, on the screen.
place(): This is used to locate the widgets in a particular position
based on coordinates or relative to the parent component.
Label(): This creates a label to show text.
Button(): This creates a button with mentioned properties and
the command parameter represents the function that executed
on pressing the button.
mainloop(): This makes sure the screen runs till manually closed
by the user.
4. FUNCTION TO ADD PRODUCT:

In this step, we create a window to take input of product details

from the user and then add it to the database.
CODE EXPLANATION:

title(): It displays the title on the top of the window.

config(): It sets the background color of the window.
geometry(): It sets the length and width of the window.
Frame(): It creates a Frame, a rectangular object that holds
various widgets, on the screen.
place(): This is used to locate the widgets in a particular position
based on coordinates or relative to the parent component.
Label(): This creates a label to show text.
Entry(): This widget takes the input from the user.
Button(): This creates a button with mentioned properties and
the command parameter represents the function executed on
pressing the button.
mainloop(): This makes sure the screen runs till manually closed
by the user.
connect(): It is used to connect to the database server on your
device using the username and password.
cursor(): The cursor object helps in executing the SQL queries.
execute(): This executes the command given as input.
5. FUNCTION TO DELETE PRODUCT:

In this step, we create a window to take input of product name

from the user. And then delete the details of that product from
the database.
CODE EXPLANATION:

title(): It displays the title on the top of the window.

config(): It sets the background color of the window.
geometry(): It sets the length and width of the window.
Frame(): It creates a Frame, a rectangular object that holds
various widgets, on the screen.
place(): This is used to locate the widgets in a particular position
based on coordinates or relative to the parent component.
Label(): This creates a label to show text.
Entry(): This widget takes the input from the user.
 Button(): This creates a button with mentioned properties and
the command parameter represents the function executed on
pressing the button.
mainloop(): This makes sure the screen runs till manually closed
by the user.
connect(): It is used to connect to the database server on your
device using the username and password.
cursor(): The cursor object helps in executing the SQL queries.
execute(): This executes the command given as input.

6. FUNCTION TO VIEW ALL PRODUCTS:

In this step we connect to the database, get the details of all the
products and show them on the screen.
CODE EXPLANATION:

title(): It displays the title on the top of the window.

config(): It sets the background color of the window.
geometry(): It sets the length and width of the window.
Frame(): It creates a Frame, a rectangular object that holds
various widgets, on the screen.
place(): This is used to locate the widgets in a particular position
based on coordinates or relative to the parent component.
Label(): This creates a label to show text.
Entry(): This widget takes the input from the user.
Button(): This creates a button with mentioned properties and
the command parameter represents the function that executed
on pressing the button.
mainloop(): This makes sure the screen runs till manually closed

connect(): It is used to connect to the database server on your
device using the username and password.
cursor(): The cursor object helps in executing the SQL queries.
execute(): This executes the command given as input.
7. FUNCTION TO CREATE A NEW BILL:

In this step we create a window to take input of quantities for

each product to be brought. If not required to buy, that entry is
left empty. Then on clicking the button to generate a bill, we
calculate the price and show the final bill details from the user.

Data is stored in an organized structure (e.g., lists, dictionaries, or a database).
2. Delete Products:
Provides an option to remove products from the inventory.
Products can be selected from a list and deleted based on their unique identifier or
name.
3. View Products:
Displays the current list of products in inventory along with their details (e.g., name,
price, quantity).
Can use a table view or a simple list for display.
4. New Customer:
Opens a billing interface for a new customer.
The user can select products from the inventory, specify quantities, and generate a bill.
The bill includes itemized details (product names, prices, quantities, and totals).
5. Generate Bill:
Calculates the total amount for the selected products.
Displays the bill in a formatted style.

Technologies and Libraries Used:

Python: Core programming language.
Tkinter: For building the GUI components.
