Made for how Pakistani book depots and stationers work
Away from the counter, keep an eye on every branch: today's sales against yesterday, every bill, stock, khata and what needs you, on your Android phone. Each figure carries the time its branch last reported.
Version 1.1.0 · Android 7.0 or later · downloaded from this site. Included in every Cloud plan, including the free trial. The owner portal works in any phone's browser too.

Real screenshots of the Windows app and the owner portal, taken on 28 September 2026 with synthetic demo data.
Books by edition, stationery by the piece or the box, and school uniforms by size: on the same bill, in the same stock and in the same day book.
Every edition its own item
By the piece, the dozen or the box
Every size its own item
Add a piece once with all its sizes. The till shows it once and asks the size, and the bill says it: “Shirt – City School (26)”.
From BooksPOS 1.0.0 on the store PC.
Open the full-size screenshot Type or paste an ISBN-10 or ISBN-13, with or without hyphens. BooksPOS verifies the check digit every time an item is saved or imported, and refuses a wrong one rather than guessing.
On a barcode label BooksPOS prints the ISBN-13 as EAN-13.
BooksPOS would refuse this and ask for the ISBN again; it never guesses a correction.
The first two are the worked example used in explanations of the ISBN standard (the same book, both forms); the third has a mistyped last digit. Checked in your browser: nothing you type is sent anywhere.
One product in two places. The store PC bills with or without internet; BooksPOS Cloud shows the owner what each branch reported, and when.
Each shop's main PC runs the store server and owns that branch's records.
For the owner, in any browser and in the Owner app for Android, with two-step sign-in.
What works without internet, what needs the shop network, and what the owner sees online: Offline and cloud, explained
A general shop POS does not know that two editions of a reader are different stock, that a parent's advance is not a sale, or that a box of markers holds 10 while a box of pencils holds 12. BooksPOS does.
Each works in the current build and is covered by automated tests.
Scan or search by title, author, item code, ISBN or Urdu text. Split a bill across cash, card, bank, EasyPaisa and JazzCash, or put it on khata.
The 2025 and 2026 editions of a reader are separate stock. ISBN is optional, its check digit verified; BooksPOS never invents one.
Pack sizes set per item. Sell 2 boxes and 3 pieces from 10 boxes of 12, and 93 pieces are left: exact, never counted twice.
Versioned class lists per school and session. School set (F6) puts the set on the bill and orders what is not in stock.
A parent's advance is held for them, not counted as a sale. Credit limits, statements and recoveries for every customer.
Every sale, return, purchase and payment posts a balanced double entry. Till shifts close blind, with the difference recorded.
Download the Windows installer, set up the store PC, and start billing. We help if you ask.
Create your account in a minute and choose Cloud or Offline. Tell us what you sell and how many counters and branches you have.
Run the installer from the Download page on your main PC, then import your items, customers and suppliers from CSV, every row checked first.
Add extra tills on the shop network if you need them, and pair the store with BooksPOS Cloud to see each branch's sales, stock and khata.
You cannot stand behind every counter. BooksPOS Cloud shows what each branch reported, and never pretends a branch that went quiet is up to date.
Stock, khata, and purchases and expenses need BooksPOS 0.9.7 or later on the store PC. The day book, profit and loss and the other reports stay on the store PC. On a phone, use the Owner app for Android or the portal in any browser.
Open the full-size screenshot Once you switch it on, every bill is reported to FBR right after it is saved, with FBR's invoice number and QR code on the receipt. A shop that does not need it simply leaves it off.
Registering with FBR is done by you or your tax adviser. BooksPOS reports through FBR's POS system.
Each bill goes to FBR right after it is saved, through FBR's online API or FBR's Fiscal Component on the store PC.
Receipts carry the FBR invoice number, its QR code, your NTN, STRN and FBR POS ID, and the tax on each item.
Bills print as offline invoices and are sent automatically as soon as FBR can be reached.
Returns go to FBR as credit notes against the original invoice, and the Re 1 POS fee is kept out of profit.
Bills, stock and khata are your business. These rules are built into BooksPOS, not left to habit.
Only the store server writes to the shop's database. Tills ask it, so two counters can never both sell the last copy.
The store PC takes an encrypted backup every day and before each database upgrade. Restoring one, on the same PC or a replacement, is done on screen, with a preview before anything changes.
Owners, managers, cashiers, accountants and warehouse staff each sign in with their own name, and every posting records who made it.
Posted bills and stock movements are never edited. A correction is a new document with its reason.
The owner can close the books through a date; nothing can be posted into it, and reopening needs a reason.
Owners can require a code from an authenticator app, with one-time recovery codes. Every business's cloud data is kept to its own account.
The same BooksPOS for a neighbourhood bookshop, a school-season book depot and a depot that also sells wholesale.
One counter on one PC, and no internet worries: billing, packs and barcodes, khata and the day book.

BooksPOS is the best fit for a book depot, bookshop, stationery shop or school uniform seller in Pakistan, because it is built for exactly these shops: each book edition kept apart, ISBNs checked, school course sets billed with one key, uniforms by size, stationery by the piece or the box, parents' advances held apart from sales, and billing that carries on without internet. Try it with your own items before you decide.
Yes. The shop's main PC runs the BooksPOS store server and keeps the records, so billing, returns, purchases, khata payments and closing a shift all work with no internet. Changes go to BooksPOS Cloud, in order and each once, when the internet is back.
Download the Windows installer from the Download page and set up the store PC; we help you if you ask. Every feature on this site is built and covered by automated tests in the current build.
Yes. Each edition or format is its own item with its own stock, price and barcodes. Receiving a new edition never changes the old one's stock.
No. ISBN is optional. When given, its check digit is verified and a wrong ISBN is refused. Books without one get an internal code that can be printed as a barcode label. BooksPOS never makes up an ISBN.
Yes. Each item has its own pack sizes (packet, dozen, box, ream, carton), each with its own price and barcode, and stock is kept in pieces.
Yes. When FBR asks your shop to integrate its point of sale, BooksPOS reports every sale and return to FBR right after the bill is saved and prints the FBR invoice number and QR code on the receipt, through FBR's online API or FBR's Fiscal Component. It is optional: it stays off until you switch it on in Settings, and a shop that does not need it leaves it off.
Yes. The owner portal and the Owner app show each branch's daily sales and bills, its stock (shop floor and godown, low and out of stock), what customers owe and what you owe suppliers, and purchases and expenses, with the time it last reported. A branch that has not reported for 15 minutes is marked STALE, because it may be billing offline.
Yes: the BooksPOS Owner app for Android, in every Cloud plan including the free trial. It shows each branch's sales against yesterday, the last 30 days, every bill, best sellers, stock, khata and alerts, with the time each branch last reported. It is read-only, with two-step sign-in and an app lock. Download it from the Owner app page.
Yes, from BooksPOS 1.0.0. A piece such as "Shirt – City School" is added once with all its sizes, and each size is its own item with its own price, barcode and stock. The till shows the piece once and asks which size, the bill names the size, and Stock › Uniform sizes shows every size's stock on one line. A school's course set can include the uniform in the child's size.
See the pricing page: Cloud plans are paid monthly or yearly, and an Offline licence is paid once, with no yearly fee, by bank transfer, JazzCash or EasyPaisa.
The till and store server are built and tested on 64-bit Windows 11, and have also been tested on a till with 64-bit Windows 10 22H2. The owner portal works in any modern browser.
Start a 14-day free trial, no card required, and download the Windows installer. We help you set it up if you ask.
