Do I need to know accounting to use this?

No. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use managemycounter. There's no accounting jargon on screen — just billing, udhaar ka hisab, and stock, in the same language you already use at your counter. Your CA still gets proper GSTR-ready reports at month-end.

Is managemycounter really free during the beta?

Yes — every invited shop gets full access to all modules (POS, GST invoicing, multi-warehouse inventory, field-agent tracking, and reporting) at no cost while we're in private beta. No card required to sign up.

Does it handle CGST/SGST/IGST automatically?

Yes. Tax is split automatically based on the customer's billing state versus your registered state, and every GST invoice is generated audit-ready — no manual CGST/SGST/IGST calculation needed.

Can I manage stock across more than one warehouse or store?

Yes — multi-warehouse stock sync is included for every invited shop during the beta, no upgrade needed. Check availability across every location in real time and record transfers between them without manual reconciliation.

What happens to my data if I lose internet connectivity?

The Android apps are built offline-first for Indian network conditions — staff can keep billing and recording attendance without a live connection, and everything syncs automatically once you're back online.

How to Manage Udhaar (Credit Ledger) for Your Shop

managemycounter Team·2026-03-02

The Old Way: Bahi-Khata

Every Indian shopkeeper knows the bahi-khata — the notebook where udhaar (credit) transactions are recorded. It works until it doesn't: pages get lost, customers deny the amount, and chasing payments means flipping through pages and making phone calls.

The Digital Way: Credit Ledger

A digital credit ledger transforms udhaar management into a real-time, trackable system.

Running Balance

Every transaction — sale, payment, credit note — updates the customer's balance instantly. No more adding up columns at month-end.

Per-Invoice Tracking

Link each payment to the specific invoice it settles. Outstanding balance becomes a precise, reconciled number, not a rough estimate.

Aging Analysis

See exactly who owes what and how overdue each amount is:

Current (0-30 days)
30-60 days
60-90 days
90+ days (high risk)

WhatsApp Payment Reminders

Instead of awkward phone calls, send a pre-filled WhatsApp message with the outstanding amount. One tap, no confrontation.

Benefits of Digital Udhaar Management

Never lose a record — cloud-synced, backed up automatically
Know your position — total receivables, worst offenders, cash flow impact
Faster recovery — WhatsApp reminders get paid 3x faster than phone calls
CA-ready reports — aging reports, party statements, outstanding summaries

managemycounter's credit ledger handles all of this out of the box — the same system that generates your GST invoices also tracks who still needs to pay you.
