Retail till & shops

A keyboard-first till that closes the day with a Z-report

Ring up a counter sale by scan or search, split the tender across cash, card, UPI, voucher and points, park a bill, take a return as a credit note, and close each register with a Z-report that shows the over/short, in the same books as your invoices, across every shop you register.

What it solves

A counter runs on routines (open the drawer, sell, park a bill, take a return, close and count), and most billing software makes each one a separate re-key into the books. Finocket's till writes the invoice and the payment for you: stock draws down at that shop, CGST and SGST split from each item's rate, the sale lands in GSTR-1 as B2C, and the day closes against a counted drawer rather than a guess.

How we're different

Every sale is a proper invoice numbered from that counter's own series, every return is a credit note at the original bill's tax split, and every shop points at its own godown so per-shop stock stays right. Finocket records what you collect. There is no card reader, no printer and no payout on the screen, and it says so.

What it does

Inside Retail till & shops

01

Scan, search, split, park

Add items by barcode or SKU scan or a quick search. Split one bill across cash, card, UPI, a gift voucher or loyalty points, with a running still-to-pay that must reach zero before the sale books. Park a basket under a name you will recognise and recall it on any terminal. Parking never uses an invoice number, so your GST sequence stays unbroken.

02

Registers that reconcile themselves

Open a register with the float in the drawer and close it with the counted cash. The Z-report for the session shows the opening float, sales by tender, the cash the drawer should hold, what it did hold and the over/short. Until you count, it says so rather than printing a zero and calling the drawer balanced.

03

Returns and exchanges as credit notes

Return on the till opens the original bill, takes items back and hands out new ones in one go. The tax reversed is derived from the original bill, never typed at the counter; credit notes already issued are counted first so you cannot return more than was sold; and a second tap on a busy counter is refused rather than refunded twice. Pick the items and quantities coming back and they go back to stock at the price they were sold for; leave every quantity empty to credit an amount instead.

Terminals with their own UPI ID and series

Each terminal carries a name, an optional UPI ID that builds its payment QR, its own numbering series and a printable standing counter QR the customer scans and types the amount into. Terminal settings are owner-only, and the server refuses the change even if the screen is reached another way.

Shops, with their own code, tills and staff

Hold each place you trade from as a shop with its own code, bill series and godown. A shop sells, a godown holds stock, and two shops sharing a godown by accident would add their stock together. Who works at a shop is a dated posting, never a delete, so 'who was on that till in June' has an answer months later. Every plan includes one shop; each further shop is a flat price with no per-till or per-person meter.

Offers and gift vouchers at the counter

Write an offer once (a percentage with a ceiling, a flat amount, or buy X get Y with the cheapest items free) and the till applies it, records which offer did it, and computes tax on what was actually charged. Gift vouchers are issued in batches and taken as a tender; the balance is a ledger, so a ₹500 voucher spent twice is refused, and one past its expiry is refused with the date.

Keyboard first

F2 jumps to the scan box, F9 takes cash, F4 splits the bill, F6 parks it and Esc clears the entry, so a busy till never needs the mouse. The hints sit under the cart on a desktop and are hidden on a phone.

Works with the rest of Finocket

Inventory & stock
A counter sale draws stock down at that shop's godown; counts and transfers between shops post to the same ledger.
GST & returns
A counter sale lands in GSTR-1 as B2C, and a till return reaches it as a credit note at the original bill's tax split.
Invoices & payments
Every sale is a proper invoice with its payment, and the bill can be shared or printed from its own page.
Loyalty programme
Name the customer on a sale and it earns points; points come off a bill as a tender.
Couriers & parcels
A bill that needs delivering is an invoice, and a parcel is booked against an invoice.

Questions

Does the till collect the money?

No. There is no card reader, no printer and no payout on this screen. Money reaches you through your own UPI or your own till, exactly as it does today, and Finocket writes down what you tell it happened. When you tap Confirm payment received on a UPI sale, you are telling Finocket it did, so check your own UPI app first.

What happens to a parked bill if the customer walks out?

Nothing. Parking does not create an invoice. Your invoice numbers have to run in an unbroken sequence for GST, and if parking used one up, every customer who changed their mind would leave a gap that looks to an auditor like a missing bill. Nothing is invoiced until the sale is actually paid.

Can a return be refunded twice by mistake?

No. Every credit note already issued against the bill is counted first, so you cannot return more than was sold, and a second tap on a busy counter is refused rather than refunded twice. The tax reversed is derived from the original bill, so a mis-set terminal cannot turn an in-state sale into an inter-state reversal.

What does a second shop cost?

Every plan includes one shop. Each shop after that is ₹5,000 a month, or ₹50,000 a year paid upfront, plus GST, with no charge per till and no charge per person, so a shop can have as many staff as it needs. A workspace that reaches its shop count is told the price the moment it tries to add one.

Can I copy an existing shop to open the next one?

Through the API, yes: name the shop to copy and the new one gets the same kind, region and opening hours, a bill series of its own starting at 1, and the same number of tills. It deliberately does not inherit the godown, the UPI ID and payee, stock, staff or access, and the result lists what it skipped. The Shops screen does not offer the copy yet.

You ring up a sale in seconds, and every shop's takings land in the same books as your invoices.

Retail on Finocket: where to start

A map of the retail pieces and the order to set them up in: products, shops, stock, the till, then offers, loyalty and couriers. Plus the three decisions that cost the most to get wrong.

Point of sale: run a counter till

Ring up a counter sale, take cash or show a UPI QR, and Finocket writes the invoice and payment, draws stock down and numbers the bill from that terminal's series. It records what you collect; it never collects it.

Inventory & stock: track what you have on hand

Turn on stock tracking for a product to get a running stock ledger: sales draw stock down automatically, low-stock items flag, and you record what you receive.
