The standard procedure for shopping at most malls is that once a consumer has completed choosing the items they want, they take the items to the cashier where they are scanned, given a bill, and paid for before being packaged for the client. This procedure requires lots of time. This project aims to build and construct a system where product billing and purchase transactions are handled through the use of a website (online platform) and a shopping basket that keeps track of all the items placed in it and calculates the total bill.

With this device, the cashier just needs to be present at the counter in order to package the customers' purchases, take their payment, save the list of items they've bought, and terminate the shopping trip. Here, the cashier does not have to scan every single item to get the total amount that must be paid. Instead, the cashier would see the entire cost of the items purchased by the customer on the monitor. The customer is using a shopping basket with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader inside of it, and the item being purchased has an RFID tag connected to it. As a result, the RFID reader is able to detect products while they are in close proximity to it. The RFID reader and RFID tag interact through signals, as opposed to barcode scanners, which require a clear line of sight to identify a product.

A weight sensor is incorporated into the device to prevent theft. The RFID reader identifies the object when it is placed in the basket. This works in a way that the product can be identified in the event that someone chooses not to add it to their basket and it is not recorded as one of the items they purchased. The sum spent by the customer is shown on the attached LCD panel at the conclusion of the shopping session. RFID shopping baskets offer society benefits such as improved store operations, streamlined shopping experiences, enhanced customer service, and theft prevention.
