BUILT FOR REAL COUNTERS

Simple for the cashier. Traceable for the owner.

The invoice, payment, stock movement, cash movement, and accounting entry remain connected without asking the person at the counter to become an accountant.

Before you switch

Keep editions and formats clear in your book catalogue.

The same title may have different editions, languages and formats. A small catalogue trial helps avoid selling or reordering the wrong edition.

  1. 01

    Create distinguishable editions

    Include title, edition and format in each item name. Store a suitable SKU or barcode for the specific edition; verify it against the physical book.

  2. 02

    Test a book and stationery basket

    Scan a stored barcode or search the item, add another product and check the invoice. Confirm item-specific tax settings rather than applying one assumption to every product.

  3. 03

    Reconcile purchases and returns

    Record publisher or distributor purchases, then test a customer return. Review the resulting item quantity and supplier balance before placing another order.

Book store billing questions

What to know before you move the counter.

Can a book be found by barcode?

Yes, if its barcode is saved on the item record.

Can customer returns be recorded?

Yes. Sales-return documents preserve the resulting stock and accounting changes.

Can the owner export the business data?

Supported roles can download a business export for safekeeping or further analysis.

Does Dukanam file GST returns directly?

No. Dukanam prepares GST-aware invoices and reports. It does not claim direct GST portal or IRP submission.
