Introduction
Grocery & Herbal Shopping is an android application where users can
buy grocery products and herbal consultant online. Grocery products are
displayed in an efficient graphical user interface. This system will be like
a virtual supermarket. The user can select the product they want to buy
and the selected product will be added to the cart. Cart contains
username, contact details, selected product and quantity. User can search
for products through categories like fruits, vegetables and various herbal
advisors. After placing the order, the kirana store will be delivered to the
specific address to which the order will be delivered. Because the system
is designed to run, it will be available on smartphones. Customers who
have a smartphone can easily use the application and buy food. No need
to wait in long lines. No need to carry heavy bags and fight carts.
Customers can buy products at home by viewing pictures of various
grocery products and adding them to the shopping cart.

Background/Literature
In today’s fast paced world, shopping for fruits, vegetables, and herbs can
often be a tedious task that inadvertently ends up eating into your free
time.
Moreover, the lockdown restrictions that were imposed following the
pandemic made it difficult for shopkeepers to sell their goods.
This app aims to solve these issues by helping you save time and
allowing you to shop from the comfort and safety of your home while
simultaneously providing a platform for grocers, fruit sellers, vegetable
vendors, and herbalists to sell their goods and serve their customers.

Along with providing you with access to a wide variety of fruits and
vegetables, this app also lets you consult with an herbalist over chat.
This app also allows Vendors to update their stock and add or delete
items depending on the availability in their inventory.
