Kirana GST billing and UPI at the counter

Walkthrough

From shelf price to GST bill

1. 1

   Put GST on the item, not as an afterthought

   In Inventory, each product has a sell price and a GST category (for example 5% or 18%). Shelf prices can be tax-inclusive for India. Barcodes and categories help the cashier find SKUs without guessing tax at checkout.

2. 2

   Receive stock once, then sell it down

   Receive goods into the warehouse so on-hand quantity is real. A completed sale deducts stock. Low-stock on Home is a reminder to reorder — it is not an automatic purchase order to a supplier.

3. 3

   Counter: scan or tap, then checkout

   Open the Store tab. Scan a barcode or tap the item into the cart. Change quantity, then checkout. Payment can be cash, UPI, card recorded, or split across those tenders. Staff with permission can void a sale or record a refund (cash, UPI, or card) and restock. Line discounts, coupons, loyalty points, and gift cards exist for shops that turn them on.

4. 4

   UPI is your Razorpay, not a Jobora wallet

   For India stores, connect that shop’s Razorpay API keys. The register can show a UPI QR; payment goes to the merchant account. If keys are not connected, still record cash or mark a UPI collected on a personal QR outside Jobora — be honest with the books either way.

5. 5

   Hand over a GST tax invoice

   Print or share the bill. Jobora can produce a GST tax invoice (including CGST/SGST or IGST lines when those amounts apply). That is a bill for the customer, not a GSTR filing.

6. 6

   Close the shift

   Open/close a shift and use Z/X style reports so counted cash can be compared with what the app expected. Useful at day end; it is not a full statutory audit pack.

Hardware shops that sell cement, pipe, or fasteners over the counter use this same retail path. Contractor job costing (estimates issued to a site) is the construction workspace.
