Retail billing software for shops that want to bill fast and stock right

Everything a retail counter needs

ShineDesk was built with shop owners who bill all day. These are the parts they use most.

Barcode billing

Any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner works. Each scan adds the item with a beep and the box is ready for the next one. An unknown barcode buzzes and clears. No scanner? The Android and iPhone apps scan with the camera.

Your own barcode labels

Items without a barcode get one automatically. Design price stickers in the label designer for label printers or A4 sticker sheets, and they scan at billing straight away.

GST invoices done right

Your GSTIN and the customer's, HSN/SAC codes with built-in search, CGST and SGST split, and invoice numbers that follow the 16-character GST rule. GST per item line puts 18% and 28% items on the same bill with an HSN-wise summary.

Print any size

3-inch and 2-inch thermal receipts, or A4 and A5 invoices with your logo, bank details and terms. A UPI scan-and-pay QR prints on the bill, and the Print Designer lets you place every field where you want it.

MRP and savings

Show the MRP and how much the customer saved on every bill — a small line that brings customers back.

Wholesale and dealer prices

Keep wholesale and dealer prices on each item. The customer's group sets the price and discount while billing, so the counter never has to remember who gets what.

Bills on WhatsApp and email

Send the bill in one tap, or link your shop's WhatsApp so every bill goes out as a PDF by itself, from your own number.

Loyalty points and advances

Customers earn points on every bill and use them on the next one. Take advance payments and use them on later bills.

Stock that stays right without extra work

Every sale and every purchase moves stock, so the numbers you see are the numbers on your shelves.

Purchases and live stock

Enter supplier bills, see live stock while billing, and stop bills when stock runs out if you want to.

Low-stock alerts

Set a reorder level on an item. Every morning ShineDesk emails the items at or below it, and can send the list to your own WhatsApp.

Dead stock and fast movers

The MIS report lists items that have not sold, so you can clear them with an offer, and your best sellers, so you never run out of them.

Stock value

See the total value of the stock on your shelves and how much money is sitting there.

Second unit

Buy in one unit and sell in another — for example wire kept in metres and sold by the coil. Stock moves by the right amount either way.

Many branches

Each branch gets its own login, bill series and stock. Transfer stock between branches with a printed note.

Reports that show where your money is

Profit by item and customer

MIS profit by item, customer, bill, month, year and sales person, with charts and CSV export.

Dues and ledgers

Amount receivable from customers and payable to suppliers, part payments and a full ledger for every account.

Due reminders with a pay link

Automatic payment reminders by WhatsApp and email after the days you choose, with a link to pay through your own Razorpay, Cashfree, PhonePe, PayU or Paytm account.

Audit log

See who changed a bill, an item or stock, and from which device. Turn it on or off in Company Setup.
