Confirm the store
Choose a nearby store or add a missing location so prices are tied to the exact shop, not just a chain name.
How it works
Fast enough for a real shopping trip.
ScanCart keeps the action simple while the price network grows quietly in the background. You shop, scan, enter the shelf price, and the community gets a fresher signal.
Scan the barcode
Use the camera to identify the product quickly, with public product sources helping fill names when available.
Enter the shelf price
Add the price you see in store and keep your cart total visible before you reach the checkout line.
Help the next shopper
Your price report becomes part of the community signal used to calculate trusted prices over time.
Living price map
A price network that grows from real shopping.
ScanCart is designed around a simple idea: every useful shopping trip can make the next one smarter. Prices are tied to the product barcode, exact store location, and report time, so the map becomes more meaningful as fresh reports arrive.
Freshness matters. Newer reports carry more value than old ones.
Confidence matters. Trusted prices are calculated from reports and signals, not blindly overwritten by a single entry.
Location matters. A product price at one branch can differ from the same product at another store nearby.
Features
Built for shoppers first, useful for everyone later.
The first version focuses on the habits that make community pricing possible: scan quickly, enter prices without friction, and keep the benefit visible while shopping.
Running total before checkout
Build your cart as you shop and see the total before the register surprises you.
Barcode product lookup
Scan grocery and product barcodes, then add missing product details when the community needs them.
Exact-store price context
Report prices for the actual physical store, because nearby branches can have different prices.
Nearby comparison as data grows
Community data can help shoppers understand where products were last reported cheaper nearby.
Freshness and confidence signals
Price reports are processed into trusted community prices with freshness and confidence in mind.
Local shopping history
Finished carts can stay useful on your device as a simple record of past shopping sessions.
App direction
A calm interface for a busy place.
ScanCart is built for supermarket aisles, quick decisions, and repeat contribution. The interface keeps store selection, scanning, and cart totals close to the surface.
Start shopping
Open a session, confirm where you are, and begin scanning products while the trip is fresh.
Choose the real store
Store selection keeps prices grounded in physical locations instead of vague city-wide averages.
Compare real reports
As the community grows, each report makes future comparisons more useful and more local.
Save the trip
Cart totals and local history help shoppers keep track of what happened after the visit.
Trust and privacy
Community prices need honest context.
ScanCart treats prices as reports, not official guarantees. Location helps confirm nearby stores, the camera helps scan barcodes, and submitted reports help calculate trusted community prices.
What gets shared
Product, store, and price report data can be sent to the backend so the community price map can improve.
What stays practical
Local shopping history can remain on your device, while community reports are processed for trust and freshness.
