One of those is weighed and one is scanned, and the app does not make you choose which kind of shop you are. Both go on the same bill, both carry their own unit, and the total is right without arithmetic.

AT THE COUNTER
The first customer wants two kilos and a Parle-G
A kirana opens on today's sales, because the question at a kirana counter is what came in today, not what the month looks like.
SAME APP, YOUR SHOP
Three things that are different here
Personalisation in this product is defaults, a bounded set of tools, and vocabulary — never a separate app per trade. What follows is the whole of what changes.
Weight and pieces, side by side
Kilos, grams and litres come first in the unit list because that is what most of the shelf is sold in — and a packet is still a piece.
Expiry on the shelves that need it
Batch dates are switched on for a kirana, because bread, milk and namkeen turn over faster than the rest of the shop and are the stock a shopkeeper actually loses money on.
The mohalla khata, properly kept
Udhaar is the norm here, not the exception, so the ledger is one tap off the payment sheet and the balance is worked out from entries rather than overwritten.
WHAT ARRIVES SET UP
What a grocery–kirana gets on the first screen
Not a demo. This is the actual configuration the app applies when you pick Grocery–Kirana at sign-up — the same data the app itself reads.
The units, in this order
- Piece
- Kg
- G
- Litre
The first one is the default, because it is what this trade sells most of. Every quantity in the app carries its unit — there is no bare number anywhere.
The tools this turns on
- Stock, in units
- Batch and expiry dates
And nothing else. A trade is only offered at sign-up once every tool it needs has actually shipped — 59 of 172 trades pass that test today.
The items it starts you with
Tap to add, then set your own price. They are a guess at your shelf and you will correct some of them — that is expected, and it is why they live on the server rather than inside an app release.
| Item | नाम | Counted in |
|---|---|---|
| Rice | चावल | Kg |
| Atta | आटा | Kg |
| Sugar | चीनी | Kg |
| Dal | दाल | Kg |
| Oil | तेल | Litre |
| Salt | नमक | Kg |
| Biscuit | बिस्कुट | Piece |
| Soap | साबुन | Piece |
| Tea | चाय | G |
| Matchbox | माचिस | Piece |
| Poha | पोहा | Kg |
| Suji | सूजी | Kg |
Twelve of 40. The rest of the pack is in the app — this table is here so you can check the list is really your shelf, and a dozen rows settles that faster than 40 does.
Low-stock warnings start at 5, which is a starting point for this trade rather than a rule. Change it per item.

GROCERY–KIRANA QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about grocery–kirana billing
Common counter questions answered for shopkeepers running a grocery–kirana on Karobari.
Can I bill loose items by weight and packaged items by barcode together?
Yes. Karobari lets you add weighed loose items like sugar, rice, or dal in fractional kilograms (e.g. 1.25 kg) alongside packaged items scanned via barcode on the exact same receipt.
Does this kirana billing app work without internet or Wi-Fi?
Yes, 100% offline. Karobari computes totals, prints receipts, and updates stock completely on your local device without needing a cellular data pack or Wi-Fi connection.
How does mohalla customer udhaar khata work during checkout?
Select Udhaar on the payment sheet. The customer's previous balance is displayed instantly, the new total is added to their ledger, and you can send a reminder directly from your own WhatsApp.
Can I connect my 2-inch or 3-inch thermal receipt printer?
Yes. Standard 58mm and 80mm Bluetooth or USB ESC/POS thermal printers connect directly for fast receipts with your dukan name and direct UPI QR code.
NOT YOUR TRADE?
58 others have a page, and 59 trades are live
Each of these is a different unit list, a different set of tools and a different first figure — not this page with a word swapped. The nearest ones first.
Try it on your counter
Free, on Google Play, and set up by you in the time it takes to put ten items in — the ones you sell most. The rest of the shelf goes in as it sells.
