}

I am a beginner in laravel. Hope anyone provide the solution. Thanks in advance.

As written in the error message: gloudemans/shoppingcart is not compatible with Laravel 8, which you already use in your application. hardevine/shoppingcart or bumbummen99/shoppingcart seem to be forks that were made compatible with any Laravel version since v5.1
