Running Your Shop: Stock, Credit, Payments & Repeat Customers

Practical guides for the day-to-day of an Indian shop: inventory and stock control, barcode billing, khata/udhaar credit, WhatsApp bills with UPI QR, loyalty points and QR menus.

Billing is only the start. These guides cover the money and stock problems that decide whether a shop grows.

Know your stock

Stock you cannot see is money you cannot use. Start with inventory management for small business, then speed up the counter with barcode billing.

Get paid on time

Udhaar is part of Indian retail — track it properly with a khata app for your shop, and collect faster by sending bills on WhatsApp with a UPI QR code.

Bring customers back

A simple loyalty points program rewards regulars; restaurants can let tables order themselves with a QR code menu.
