🔒 Want to build program for wife's spray tan business.

[desert plover]

I would like to build something to help automate customer processing information for my wife's spray tanning business. What kind of stuff would I need to know? I am sort of thinking of putting it into a very simple app that customers can download, put in their information, schedule their tan, give them a quick cost calculation, and send that info somewhere to us where we can see it populate. Is this super advanced? only been studying Python for about a month but, wanted some input on this project idea

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

It probably depends how you do it but yeah, pretty advanced project with lots of moving parts.

What exactly do you want your program to do?

[desert plover]

I just want the customer to type in their info and be able to schedule their tan in some sort of app. and then their info and tan schedule is somehow received by us for us to be ready for it

So no payment processing?

[desert plover]

info as in (name, email, number etc)

no payment processing

i know that would be hard to do just from the thought of it

well maybe not since i can take the card info just like the name and stuff?

# Spray tan calculator

print("Hello and welcome to Three Shades Spray Tan Cost Calculator!")
print("\nHere you will come to figure out how much your spray tan will cost.")

# Customer information
Customer = [input("What is your first name?: "), input("What is your last name?: "),
            input("What is your email?: "), input("What is your phone number?: ")]

# Spray tan variable
initialSpray = input("Do you want a spray tan? (Type 'Yes' or 'No'): ")
initialSpray.lower

#tip variable and tip integer
tip = input("Would you like to leave a tip?(Type 'Yes' or 'No'): ")
tip.lower
tip_total = int(input("How much would you like to leave?: $"))

tanning_solution = input("What kind of tanning solution are you looking for? (For info on what solutions we use type '?') Choose 'Rapid' or 'Venetian': ")
tanning_solution.lower

cost = 0

if initialSpray == "yes":
    cost += 45
    if tip == "yes":
        tip_cost = int(input("How much would you like to tip?: $"))
        cost += tip_cost
        print("You are scheduled for your tan!\nWe will send you a text/email with pre-tanning tips to make the most of your tan!")
    else:
        print("You are scheduled for your tan!\nWe will send you a text/email with pre-tanning tips to make the most of your tan!")


else:
    print("Thank you for thinking about us!")

i mean this is my very nooby template

of kindve what my mind is thinking

im really using it to practice but didn't know how far I can get with it

So you'd probably want to make it a web app and host it on a VPS or similar.

So basically a website

[desert plover]

I can try and look into that. they do have a website that lets scheduling happen

so maybe build some code in combination with it? Python can talk to websites right?

[next sparrow]

If you mean a mobile app you might consider a different language.

[desert plover]

The website should work. I didn't think about it and was stuck on phone app

unless you think otherwise

[desert plover]

thanks for your help!
