Project Summary:
Designed to eliminate the need of paper receipts.
Our program enables merchants to take and manipulate orders from customers; after an order is paid, the receipt can be issued via email to the customer.
Notes: Email login as the sender currently only works for limited email accounts due to security reasons
- Run
make merchant ./merchantwithout any arguments runs the program in interactive mode- Login - merchant prompted for an ID
- New ID: Prompt for registration with password (hashed and stored with ID in merchantID.txt)
- Existing ID: Prompt for password which will be checked against stored hash
- Setting sender email
- Merchant will be prompted for an email address and password from where receipts are sent to customers
- Authentication currently only works for gmail accounts which allow access from less secure apps
- Menu loaded, merchant actions:
- Each merchant has their own folder (id as folder name, stored in Merchants folder) which stores a record of receipts and the merchant's menu of items to sell (currently only supports addition by manually moving a menu text file into the folder)
- After successful login, the menu will be loaded and the merchant can select actions to be carried out by inputting the action's corresponding number as follows :
[0] Quit program
[1] Take new order
[2] Edit order
[3] Cancel order
[4] Pay order + Send receipt
