Overview

Due to Pandemic and even before the COVID-19 pandemic, contactless payments were already a widely used payment method. There are very high chances that you lose the track of your expenditures while dealing with cash. People tend to rely more on online/contactless payment methods than traditional methods of transacting with cash. It helps the customer as well as the store to keep the record of all the transactions occurring throughout the system. In addition to that there are less chances of your cash getting robbed. Smart Card System is such a unique website which works with the help of Arduino. RFID cards are used in the system which stands uniquely among each other due to its distinct identification number. It will act as a unique identity to every user in the system. In this website, login and register for both admin and user, add card, block/activate card, create payment, load balance functionalities are added for better user interaction.

🔽 Register & Login into the system.
🔽 Get details about your card and transactions..
🔽 Activate/Block your card for security purpose.
🔽 Store/Admin login.
🔽 Add Card, Load balance, Payment Gateaway at Store/Admin side.
