A guide, not a manual
Every screen below plays by itself. Nothing here is a picture of the app: it is the app's own screens, drawn the same way, so what you see is what you will tap.
If you would rather read than watch, every step is written out underneath.
Buttons
A tea stall, a snack counter, a juice shop. Your own items become big buttons. Nobody types anything.
Best when you sell the same twenty things all day.
Calculator
Vegetables, cloth, hardware, scrap. You already work the price out in your head. Type it and add it.
Nothing has to be set up first. Open it and start.
Inventory
A grocery, a medical store, a hardware shop. Scan the barcode, the price comes up, and the stock goes down by one.
Stock is kept on the server, so two tills cannot sell the same last packet.
Cafe
Each table holds its own open bill. Add to it as the order grows, and the kitchen gets its ticket while the table keeps its bill.
Two phones can take orders for the same table without one overwriting the other.
The question we are asked most
Four things, in this order, and the order is the whole point.
Before anything is sent anywhere. If the power goes or the app closes in that second, the sale is already yours.
The sale and the day's running total are written together, in one go. Half a sale is never recorded.
In the same moment, if you keep stock. Never afterwards, so the shelf count cannot drift from the sales.
Last, and only then. With no internet it waits on the phone and goes later. Nothing is lost and nothing is counted twice.
This is why the app keeps working when the network does not, and why a sale never disappears between two phones.
It is the bill before you take the money: the lines added so far, the total, and the tax if you charge it. Nothing is recorded yet.
Use it to read the total back to the customer, change a quantity, take a line off, or add a discount. It is the last moment everything is still editable.
Why it matters: once you tap Paid the sale is a record, and correcting a record afterwards leaves a trail. Getting it right here leaves none.
My Shop, then Transactions. Every bill you have ever taken, newest first, numbered the way a paper book numbers them.
Open one and it shows every item on it, what was paid, how it was paid, and who rang it up. Search by amount, by item, or by bill number.
Why it matters: when a customer comes back on Friday asking about Tuesday, you can find it in seconds instead of turning pages.
Mark the bill as udhaar. The sale counts today, on the day the goods left, because that is the day you sold them.
When they pay later, settle it against that same bill. It does not become a second sale, so your month is not counted twice.
Why it matters: the app can then tell you who owes you, how much, and how long it has been.
It is free to start and it takes about a minute. You can change how you sell later without losing anything.
