But when it comes to the final bill payment there are no adequate counters in the mall that can handle all the customers. Also scanning each and every product of all the customer becomes a huge task and leads to large queue formation. Due to this our valuable time is wasted, so by keeping this in mind, we have modified a cart which will contain a barcode scanner by which the customer can scan the product and automatically the product id, product name, quantity and other details are stored in the Wamp database which will be fetched and displayed on the android app. Scanner will keep the track of products added to the cart. Each cart has some unique ID, an android application will use this ID so that the database can be accessed by the user through Wi-Fi module. The mall's computer will display all the list of product added to the cart and the final bill will be generated. This application is based on android platform as most of the people use android phones. Keywords :- Shopping Cart, Android Application, Wamp Server, Wi-Fi module. I. INTRODUCTION Shopping means a group of people uniting at one place for buying the products. The shopping format has been changed over the recent years. In older days, the seller use to take their products and roam here and there selling those products but now this scenario has been changed. Thus later the concept of shopping grew greatly in business. Market is growing day by day, everyone wants to save their time and gain profit while shopping. Mankind always invented things according to their needs. As time passed human being became more demanding. In olden days there used to be some shops but as time passed by, some businessman started investing their money in market; they started the business of selling and buying the products. Hence the concept of mall came into pictures and in 1970’s barcode technology came into existence. All such advancements need to be made to make the existing system faster and efficient with the help of barcode technology also the industrial work has been reduced. When products are moved from one place to other place the barcode technology helps to take inventory management in better way. After successful use of barcode, company started using barcode on products as well because after using the barcode it became easy to maintain product information in database more effectively. In 21 st century different types of malls and supermarkets came into existence where people went to buy products and also to carry those products in the mall was tedious hence the concept of trolley/cart was invented. Consumer used this cart to add products and checkout through casher. Types of shopping  Physical Shopping  Online Shopping Physical Shopping Physical shopping means consumer goes physically into malls for buying products. In physical shopping both the buyer and seller are practically present. Our aim is to modify the existing cart so that time is reduced during shopping. Our proposed system is based on following four different technologies.  Barcode technology  WI-FI module for communication  Android application  Database at accountant Online Shopping Online Shopping means consumer buys products via internet, through call or through some application by just clicking. In online shopping both buyer and seller are not interacting physically. From buying the products to paying the bill everything is online.
