Nowadays, shopping and browsing in large shopping centers has become a common occurrence in urban areas. Particularly on holidays and weekends, there is a significant crowd at malls. The crowd increases even more when there are special promotions and discounts. Customers buy various items and place them in their shopping carts. Once they have completed their shopping, they proceed to the cashier for payment. The cashier then generates the bill using a barcode reader, which can be a time-consuming process and results in long lines at the checkout counters. This study aims to reduce the queues at the billing counters in shopping complexes. The Smart Trolley achieves this by displaying the total price of the items in the cart. This allows customers to make direct payments at the billing counter and leave with their purchased items. The hardware components include Arduino Uno, RFID Reader Module, RFID Card, and Buzzer. This system eliminates the traditional scanning of products at the checkout counter, thereby streamlining the shopping process. With this system, customers are informed of the total amount to be paid, enabling them to plan their purchases accordingly and focus on buying essential items, leading to increased savings. Since the billing process is automated, the likelihood of human error is significantly reduced. Additionally, the system allows customers to delete scanned products to further enhance their shopping experience. Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs – light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online.
