5 smart shopping cart functions that are important to customers 

A smart shopping cart is initially designed and developed to improve customers’ shopping experience. While the smart shopping cart is still a new and fresh product, customers only know a little about the smart shopping cart.

In this article, I will list 5 smart shopping cart functions that are important to customers.

(1) Smart shopping cart displays items’ prices automatically.

The smart shopping cart is equipped with a large touchscreen at the front, when customers scan an item’s bar code, the smart shopping cart displays the item’s price automatically. When customers scan another item, the smart shopping cart displays another item’s price accordingly.

When you shop in a supermarket, you couldn’t find some items’ prices. But using a smart shopping cart, the smart shopping cart helps you know every item’s price.

The smart shopping cart also displays items’ detailed information, including items’ names, weight, etc.

(2) Smart shopping cart supports customers checking out directly on the cart.

The smart shopping cart was integrated with the supermarket ERP system as well as the payment system, customers could finish their payments directly on the smart shopping cart.

In some supermarkets, we integrate the smart shopping cart system with a self-checkout machine, customers finish their shopping process on the smart cart, then the order will generate a QR code, customers could then finish the payment process on a self-checkout machine. It’s a very convenient way to finish the payment.

(3) Smart shopping cart has a charging port that could support customers' charges for their mobile phones.

The mobile phone has become a major tool in modern people’s life. People use mobile phones very frequently, especially young people.

The smart shopping cart was designed to add a charging port, and customers could charge their mobile phones freely. This is a very convenient function for customers, especially for those who like to use mobile phones.

(4) Smart shopping cart sends ready-to-use coupons to customers.

As the smart shopping cart is connected to the supermarket ERP system, promotional information and coupons could be sent to customers via the smart shopping cart screen.

As the smart shopping cart still has a data collection function, it can send coupons to precise customers based on customers’ shopping data it has collected. These coupons are all ready-to-use coupons, customers could use them immediately. These coupons will also stimulate customers to purchase more.

(5) Smart shopping cart supports customers viewing their shopping costs all the time.

When customers scan items’ bar codes one by one, the smart shopping cart displays items’ prices one by one, customers could also view the total cost of their shopping journey when they are shopping.

This means customers could adjust their shopping budget freely.(Author : Superhii , Cindy Xin )
