Feature Description

Description: We need to connect the already existing user model for shop users to the AgroShop e-commerce platform. This will facilitate user management, authentication, cart management, and order history functionalities, ensuring a complete e-commerce experience.

Additional Keys to Consider: To enhance the user model for e-commerce functionalities, the following keys can be added:

1. role: String (default: "customer")
