What is POS software for a retail shop?
POS (point of sale) software for a retail shop is the program the counter bills on, and, done properly, the system the whole shop runs on: it scans or searches items, applies GST and offers, takes UPI, card and cash, prints or sends the receipt, and drops stock the moment the bill is made. NukkadShops Retail POS adds stock control, reports and customer loyalty to that same transaction, on its own Android counter machines or on an Android phone through the Quik App.
Which is the best POS software for retail shops in India?
The best retail POS software for an Indian shop bills fast at the counter, keeps working when the internet drops, handles GST, HSN and e-invoicing without a separate tool, keeps stock and billing in one system, and does not need re-entering when you open a second shop. NukkadShops does all five, prices its machines on this page and runs 15,000+ stores, from single kirana counters to the 1,100+ Har-Hith stores and India's two busiest airports. Book a demo and bill your own shelves on it.
What does billing software for a retail shop cost?
The software plan is quoted for your shop by counter and store count; it is never a fixed public price because a single counter and a 20-store chain need different things. The machine is priced: NS MPOS Rs 17,500 + 18% GST (Rs 20,650 incl.), Aspire Rs 29,990 + GST (Rs 35,388 incl.), Pro2 Rs 39,990 + GST (Rs 47,188 incl.) and Elite-A Rs 41,990 + GST (Rs 49,548 incl.). Or run the Quik App on an Android phone you already own and buy no device.
Can I run it on my own phone instead of buying a billing machine?
Yes. The Quik App turns an Android smartphone or tablet into a complete POS: billing, inventory, offers, credit and loyalty, with the same reports underneath. It also serves as the second biller in the rush beside a counter machine, and everything lands in the same stock and the same day-end.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Billing, printing and stock continue on the device when the internet drops and sync automatically when it returns, so a customer at the counter never waits on the network. This is standard on every NukkadShops device.
Is it GST compliant, with e-invoicing?
Yes. GST and HSN codes apply line by line at billing, e-invoicing and IRN generation are built in, and GSTR-ready reports export from the sales data. The rules are updated in the software as the law changes.
Can I connect my barcode scanner, printer and cash drawer?
Yes. Barcode scanners, weighing scales, receipt printers and cash drawers plug into the USB, RS232 and RJ11 ports on the Pro2, Elite-A and Aspire. The Aspire and the handheld NS MPOS also have a receipt printer built in.
What kinds of offers can it run?
A full promotions matrix: buy-one-get-one (BOGO), pack discounts, free-item offers and discounts at SKU or invoice level, configured once and applied automatically at billing. Upsell and cross-sell prompts surface at the counter from the same engine.
Can it run more than one shop?
Yes. Catalogue, prices and offers are maintained once and reach every outlet instantly; stock, purchase orders and the warehouse sit in one centralised inventory; and the owner's dashboard compares stores, SKUs and staff from anywhere. The same software runs 5-outlet FreshMart Supermarkets and the 1,100+ Har-Hith franchise stores.
Which businesses run on it?
From single kirana counters to supermarket chains, pharmacies, fuel-station convenience stores, airport retail and government retail networks: 15,000+ stores run NukkadShops.
