POS Software for General Stores

One shop, three thousand items and a counter that never stops. Billing, stock and khata built for the shop that sells a little of everything.

  • Thousands of items
  • Barcode printing
  • Customer khata
  • Dead stock reports

The daily reality

A general store fails at scale, not at selling

Selling is the easy part. It is knowing what you hold, what it cost and who owes you that quietly stops working once the item list passes a thousand.

Nobody else knows the price

Three thousand items and the rate lives in one person's head. When he is at lunch the counter guesses, and the guess is always in the customer's favour.

Dead stock in every corner

A general store buys widely and reviews nothing. Money sits on shelves in items that last sold nine months ago, and nobody notices because nothing reports it.

Credit spread across a register

Regulars buy on account all month. The book has the entries, in handwriting, in no order, and settling it takes an evening and still ends in an argument.

Shortages you find out about at the counter

Fast movers finish quietly between deliveries. You learn about it when a customer asks and then walks to the shop across the road.

Inside the software

Everything your general store runs on

Billing that keeps up with the counter

Type two letters or scan the barcode and the item is on the bill at the right rate, whoever is at the counter.

  • Barcodes printed in the shop for unbranded stock
  • Hold a bill and serve the next customer
  • The price stops depending on who is working

Stock you can trust without counting it

Every item carries its own reorder level across the whole range, so the order list writes itself.

  • Dead stock report at thirty, sixty and ninety days
  • Expiry on dairy, bakery, medicine and cosmetics
  • See the money standing still on your own shelves

Every khata, settled and searchable

Every account customer has a ledger with a running balance, full history and an optional credit limit.

  • Credit lands in the khata as you bill it
  • Send the balance on WhatsApp at month end
  • Stop chasing regulars in person

Purchases and suppliers in one ledger

Enter deliveries with rates, discounts and returns, and stock and the supplier ledger update together.

  • What an item cost the last five times you bought it
  • Notice a distributor quietly moving the rate
  • Supplier balances beside your own receivables

The numbers, before you close the shutter

Sales, profit, cash in hand and outstanding credit on one screen from your phone.

  • Which categories earn and which only fill shelves
  • What each salesperson billed and discounted
  • Accountability without anybody being watched

Made for the trade

Built for a shop that sells everything

A general store is not one business. It is groceries, cosmetics, stationery and hardware in one room, and the software has to hold all of it without becoming a filing exercise.

Categories that actually group

Sort thousands of items into categories and brands so a report tells you which part of the shop earns and which only takes up space.

Barcodes for items that have none

Loose and unbranded stock gets a barcode generated and printed in the shop, so everything scans instead of being typed.

Loose and packet from one stock

Sell by kilo and by packet from the same item, so buying a sack and selling in grams leaves one honest stock figure.

Rates by customer type

Give a regular a different rate from a walk-in without the counter doing arithmetic or the owner losing track of the margin.

Expiry where it matters

Dairy, bakery, medicines and cosmetics carry a date, and the software flags them early enough to move them.

More than one shop, one owner

Each branch keeps its own stock, cash and staff, and one login shows all of them from anywhere.

FBR digital invoicing, handled as you bill

Switch it on and every sale goes to the FBR system as you ring it up, with the items, the amounts, the tax rate you charged and the buyer details you entered. onlinePOS transmits exactly what you recorded and never adjusts a rate on the way through. Leave it off and nothing is sent. Either way, your invoices, returns and daily totals stay in one place instead of being rebuilt from a register at the end of the month.

  • Off until you switch it on
  • Sent as you bill, not at month end
  • Your rate, never adjusted

Receipts on WhatsApp, in seconds

Send the bill to the customer WhatsApp number as you finish the sale. They get a record on their phone, you get one on yours, and the argument three weeks later about what was bought and what was paid ends before it starts.

  • Receipt on the customer's phone
  • Khata balance in one tap
  • No printer, no paper

Questions

General Store Software: Common Questions

What owners ask us before they start. If yours is not here, message us on WhatsApp.

Is there POS software for general stores in Pakistan?

Yes. onlinePOS is built for Pakistani retail and handles what a general store actually needs: thousands of items across unrelated categories, barcode printing for unbranded stock, customer khata with credit limits, and FBR digital invoicing when you want it. It runs in a browser on any computer, tablet or phone.

How many items can it handle?

There is no practical limit. Shops running tens of thousands of items find them by typing two or three letters, and the billing screen stays as fast at ten thousand items as at five hundred.

Can I print barcodes for items that do not have one?

Yes. The software generates a barcode for any item and you print it on a normal label roll. Loose, local and unbranded stock then scans exactly like branded stock.

Does it keep customer credit and khata?

Yes. Every customer has a running ledger with a balance, their whole purchase history and an optional credit limit, and you can send the outstanding amount to their WhatsApp instead of asking at the counter.

Can it tell me what is not selling?

Yes. The dead stock report lists what has not moved in thirty, sixty or ninety days with the money tied up in each. For most general stores that one report pays for the software in the first month.

Do I have to register with FBR to use it?

No. FBR digital invoicing is off until you switch it on and the software works fully without it. If you are registered you turn it on and invoices go to FBR as you bill. We are software providers rather than tax advisers, so ask a practitioner if you are unsure whether you must register.

How much does general store software cost?

It is a subscription billed in Pakistani Rupees, with a free 7 day trial on the full software. Message us on WhatsApp with your counter and branch count for the exact figure.

Can you load my existing item list?

Yes. Send a spreadsheet, an export from old software or even photographs of a rate list, and we load your products, rates and opening stock before you start billing.
