Direct WhatsApp Ordering
Receive structured orders with item lists, pack sizes, and customer address.

Real-Time POS & Stock Sync
Single inventory across your physical counter and online storefront.
When an item is sold at the cash counter, stock automatically updates online. When you accept an online order, it converts straight into a POS bill with zero manual re-entry.
0% Commission & Zero Middlemen
Keep 100% of your earnings with direct customer payments.
Unlike delivery apps that charge 18% to 30% commission, or e-commerce platforms that take 2% to 5% per transaction, Karobari takes zero commission. Payments go directly to your shop UPI or cash on delivery.
Offline-First Counter Resilience
Your counter billing never stops even if internet connectivity drops.
Storefront orders queue safely on the cloud while your physical register runs 100% offline via local SQLite. When connectivity restores, orders sync seamlessly without halting counter operations.

Do my customers need to download an application to order from my shopfront?
