Shop Finder

### Project Idea: "ShopFinder"
**Abstract:**
The "ShopFinder" project aims to create a platform that helps users find the availability of products in
nearby shops in real-time and purchase them directly through the app. By integrating shop inventories,
user location data, and secure payment methods, this application will provide a seamless shopping
experience. The system will cater to both shop owners, who can update their stock and manage sales,
and customers, who can search for products, get instant results, and make purchases easily.
### Existing System
**Challenges:**
1. **Manual Checking**: Customers often have to visit multiple stores or call to check product availability.
2. **Time-Consuming**: This process is inefficient and time-consuming.
3. **Lack of Information**: Shops may not always have updated stock information available online.
4. **Inconvenient Purchasing**: Customers often prefer the convenience of online payments over
in-person transactions.
### Proposed System
**Objectives:**
1. **Real-Time Inventory Updates**: Enable shop owners to update their inventory in real-time.
2. **User-Friendly Search**: Allow customers to search for products and find nearby shops that have
them in stock.
3. **Location-Based Search**: Utilize user location data to show the nearest shops with the desired
products.
4. **Integrated Payment Method**: Allow customers to make secure payments directly through the app.
5. **AI/ML Integration**: Use artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance the user experience
and optimize inventory management.
6. **Notifications**: Notify users when a previously out-of-stock item becomes available nearby.
**Functional Modules:**
1. **Admin Module**:
- Manage user and shop owner accounts.
- Monitor and analyze system usage and performance.
2. **Shop Owner Module**:

- Update inventory in real-time.
- Provide shop details and contact information.

- View nearby shops that have the product in stock.
- Get directions to the shop.
- Set notifications for when out-of-stock items become available.
- Add products to a cart and make secure payments.
- View order history and track purchases.
- Receive personalized product recommendations using ML algorithms.
4. **Location and Mapping Module**:

- Integrate with mapping services (like Google Maps) to provide accurate shop locations.
- Calculate distances to nearby shops.
5. **Payment Module**:
- Integrate with popular payment gateways (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) to process transactions securely.
- Support multiple payment methods, including credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, and online banking.
- Ensure secure payment processing with encryption and compliance with payment standards.
6. **Notification Module**:
- Push notifications for product availability.
- Alerts for discounts or promotions from nearby shops.
- Notifications for order confirmations and delivery updates.
### Implementation Plan
1. **Database Design**:
- Create a database to store product information, shop inventories, user data, order histories, and
payment transactions.
2. **Backend Development**:
- Develop APIs for real-time inventory updates, product searches, payments, and notifications.
- Implement secure user authentication and authorization.
3. **Frontend Development**:
- Design a user-friendly interface for both mobile and web platforms.
- Implement search functionality, real-time updates, and secure payment forms.
4. **Location Services**:
- Integrate with GPS and mapping APIs to provide location-based search results.
5. **Payment Integration**:
- Connect to payment gateways for secure transaction processing.
- Ensure compliance with payment security standards (e.g., PCI DSS).
6. **AI/ML Integration**:
- Use machine learning algorithms to provide personalized product recommendations to users.
- Implement AI to analyze sales data and predict inventory needs for shop owners.
7. **Testing**:
- Perform rigorous testing to ensure accuracy in product availability, location data, and payment
processing.
- Conduct user testing to refine the interface and user experience.
8. **Deployment**:
- Deploy the application on cloud services to ensure scalability and reliability.
- Provide documentation and support for shop owners to update their inventories and manage orders.
### Benefits
