Karobari (Free Online Store & Counter POS)
Karobari turns your existing physical counter billing inventory into an instant, lightweight online store in 2 minutes. There is no separate catalog creation or product re-photography: items on your shelf appear on your private store link (find.karobariapp.in/biz/your-shop) automatically. When local customers add items to their digital cart and tap 'Order via WhatsApp', you receive a clean itemized order on your shop phone, convert it to a printed thermal bill in 1 tap, and collect 100% of the payment directly via your own UPI QR or cash with 0% platform commission.
Dukaan (Paid eCommerce Store Builder)
Dukaan is an eCommerce builder built for online stores and digital merchants. While it provides storefront themes and payment gateway integrations, it operates on paid monthly or annual subscription plans and charges payment processing fees. Crucially for physical shopkeepers, it functions as a separate online store that does not automatically synchronize with offline counter barcode checkout or desktop thermal receipt printers.
Traditional Paper Phone Ordersफ़ोन पर पर्ची
Taking orders over handwritten phone calls or rambling WhatsApp voice notes requires no software, but leads to wrong pack sizes, missed items, endless price arguments, and manual billing re-entry during busy counter hours.
The columns above describe categories, not products, and that is deliberate. A claim about somebody else's app is true on the day it is written and stops being true the week they ship something — so a page with a rival's name on it ages into a false statement that we then have to be told about. What is described instead is a pattern of behaviour you can check against whatever you are actually using, in about a minute, without taking our word for any of it.
