Offline shop billing that keeps going

• Scan with a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner or the device's camera, or tap items on screen when the label is missing.
• Each line shows the MRP and the rupees saved. An item with an MRP of 60 sold at 19 shows 41.00 saved.
• A bill discount comes off before GST, so tax is worked out on what the customer actually pays.
• Split one bill across cash, UPI and card, and note the card slip number.
• Round off gets its own line, and GST is shown by rate when the cart mixes rates.
• Park a bill while the customer fetches one more thing. No bill number is used until you finish.
• Send the bill to the customer on WhatsApp.

• Every bill gets its number at the counter, from a block of numbers that counter holds.
• If a counter runs out of numbers while offline, it keeps billing on a separate, clearly marked series.
• Each bill is sent exactly once when the connection is back, never twice.
• Closed the tab or lost power mid-bill? The counter offers the unfinished bill back when you reopen it.
• Closing the day, voids, receiving stock, labels and reports need the internet. Billing does not.
• Selling on khata and taking khata money back need the internet too, so the counter always sees the customer's true balance.
• The first time a counter opens, it needs the internet to register.

• Create barcodes for unlabelled goods when you add them, when you import them, or all at once.
• Print labels on A4 sheets of 38×21 mm labels on an office printer, or on a 50×25 mm label roll.
• Load your items and opening stock from a CSV file.
• Book deliveries by hand or from the supplier's list as a CSV file. Uploading the same list twice never adds the stock twice.
• Low stock shows in your reports and on the daily Z-report.
• Enter the supplier's bill line by line with the amount on it, so stock and its value move together. The same bill number for one supplier is refused a second time unless you note why it is a different bill.

• The Z-report balances the drawer to the rupee: the float, sales by payment mode and what you counted.
• Count the drawer note by note at close, and the Z-report prints the breakdown.
• Reports for any dates: sales, GST by rate, payment modes, by day, by counter and by item, voids and stock.
• Download the sales, GST, voids and stock tables as CSV.
• A manager can cancel a whole bill with a credit note before the day is closed, and the stock comes back.
• Items come back on a return at the price they were sold, refunded by cash, UPI or card, inside the return window you set.
• Keep a khata by the customer's mobile number: put all or part of a bill on it, take the money back at the counter against the oldest bill first, and see who owes what and since when.
• Send a khata reminder on WhatsApp when you choose. Nothing is sent until you press send.
• Cashier, stockroom and supervisor roles decide who can do what.
• Carry a counter around the shop: each person unlocks it with their own PIN, and a supervisor approves a void or return with theirs.
• Export each day's sales as Tally XML for your accountant.

Your books, not just a bill

With Invoicing as well, each closed shift posts one entry to your ledger and every counter bill is included in your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.

Counter works on its own. Add Nijam Invoicing and it writes to the same books, so the shop's sales, the invoices you raise to other businesses and your GST returns come from one set of numbers.

• One ledger entry per closed shift, not one per bill.
• Counter bills go into GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B alongside your other invoices.
• A cancelled bill becomes a credit note, so the returns net it off.
• Walk-in sales stay out of your customer list.
• With Invoicing, raise full GST invoices to other businesses from the same account.
• With Invoicing, a purchase bill entered at the counter turns up in Bills to pay, marked ITC to be confirmed, so nothing is claimed until somebody checks it.

• A current web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. There is no app to install.
• A USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner that types the code like a keyboard. It's optional: you can use the device's camera or tap items instead.
• Receipts print straight to 58 mm and 80 mm thermal printers over USB from Chrome or Edge on Windows, and to any printer through the browser's print dialog.
• For labels, any printer for A4 sheets, or a label printer for 50×25 mm rolls.
• A registered GSTIN for the shop.
• Internet the first time a counter opens, and to close the day.
