What this actually means in practice
A shop is not a till with stock attached to it. On any given evening four things must agree: what is physically on the shelf, what the bills say left the shop, what the current scheme promised, and what the customer believes his points are worth. When they disagree the loss is rarely dramatic — a rupee here, a wrongly applied offer there — and it stays invisible until a month of it arrives in the margin.
Retail pricing also runs the opposite way from a tax invoice: the shelf shows the MRP and the tax lives inside it, so the software back-calculates the taxable value rather than adding tax on top. Above that sit the offers — promotions with their own item lines and redemption records, coupons with usage caps, gift cards with a movement history. Each is a rule the counter applies identically, which is what makes the resulting margin readable afterwards.
Loyalty is deliberately kept outside the ledger: points are a marketing construct, earned on a finalised bill and redeemed against a later one, and only the rupee value of a redemption reaches the books. A second shop is a store with its own stock point, its own counters and transfers between them, so a slow line can be moved rather than discounted. Store budgets then give each branch a figure to be measured against.
| Part of the shop | What it owns | Where it shows in the books |
|---|---|---|
| The counter | Bills, tenders, holds, returns, the drawer | Sales, cash and bank, output tax |
| The shelf | On-hand by store, reorder and maximum levels | Closing stock, and COGS on every sale |
| Schemes and coupons | The rules, their caps, redemption records | Discount and net revenue, bill by bill |
| Gift cards | Issued value and its movement history | Carried as a liability until redeemed |
| Loyalty | Points earned and redeemed per customer | Only the value of a redemption |
| A second store | Its own stock point, counters and budget | Branch-wise, consolidating into one P&L |

What it does not do
- · No weighing-scale integration, so loose and weighed goods are billed on a typed quantity.
- · No payroll for shop staff. HRMS is genuinely unbuilt; wages and advances are recorded as vouchers.
- · Loyalty points are held off the general ledger by design. They are a marketing balance rather than a booked liability until they are redeemed.
Frequently asked
Does it handle MRP pricing?
Yes — retail mode bills at MRP with GST embedded, and you can run schemes and discounts on top.
Can it manage stock and reorder?
Yes — stock updates on every sale with low-stock and reorder alerts so shelves stay filled.
Is it GST-compliant?
Yes — every bill is GST-correct and flows into GSTR-1/3B and your books.
Do loyalty points distort my profit figures?
No, and that is deliberate. Points sit in a customer subledger outside the general ledger, because an unredeemed point is a marketing promise rather than money owed. When a customer redeems, the rupee value of that redemption is what reaches the books, appearing as a discount on the bill it was used against.
Can a scheme be limited to certain items?
Yes. A promotion carries its own lines, so it applies to the items you choose, and coupons carry usage caps so an offer cannot be worked indefinitely. Because the rule is applied by the counter rather than by the person standing at it, the discount given is consistent and the margin afterwards can actually be read.
What exactly is included in Retail · GST?
fast barcode counter billing, MRP-inclusive retail pricing, live stock & reorder alerts, schemes, discounts & loyalty, 80mm thermal or A4 printing and GST returns & ledger, and 1 more. Every item on that list is a working screen you can open in the trial rather than a capability described in the abstract.
How is retail · gst handled differently here?
It rests on built for the shop floor, stock & offers and GST done for you. The distinction that matters is that these are structural rather than cosmetic — the behaviour is built into how records are posted, not layered on as a report you have to remember to run.
Does Retail · GST work offline?
On the Desktop edition, yes — completely. fast barcode counter billing and MRP-inclusive retail pricing run against a local database on your own machine, so the screens behave the same with the network unplugged as with it connected. AI and billing are the only two things that reach out. On the Cloud edition retail · gst runs in the browser and needs a connection.
Does Retail · GST post to the real books?
Yes, and that is the whole reason it lives in this product rather than beside it. What built for the shop floor records lands in the same posted double-entry ledger the Trial Balance, P&L and GST returns are built from — so there is no second set of retail · gst numbers to reconcile against the first.
Does Retail · GST cost extra?
No. Retail · GST is part of the accounting core rather than a paid add-on, so stock & offers is there on the entry tier exactly as it is on the highest one. What the tiers change is reach and depth — devices, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on.
