Why an offline-first ledger matters for small shops
An offline-first ledger saves each entry on the device first and uploads it later, so the counter never waits for the network, and a careful sync makes sure nothing is lost or doubled.
What is a khata book? Digital khata vs the paper register
A khata book is a shop's credit register: who took goods on credit, and who has paid. A digital khata keeps the same record but adds totals, backups, reminders and a customer view.
Shop staff permissions: what a cashier and a manager should do

How to reduce bad debts and recover shop credit politely
Most unpaid credit comes from drift, not bad intent: no due date, no reminder, a disputed total. Prevent it with limits and clear entries, then follow a polite, steady ladder.
Moving from a paper khata register to an app, step by step
Pick a switch-over date, total each customer's page, add them to the app with that total as the opening balance, share each khata so customers can check it, then write only in the app.
How to set credit limits for your shop's customers
Base each customer's limit on one pay cycle of their normal purchases, start new customers low, pair every limit with a due date, tell the customer, and review limits monthly.
