Everything Codipy POS actually does

139 features across 17 modules, listed the way the software itself is organised — so you can walk this page and another package side by side and see exactly where they differ.

The sale counter

The screen a cashier lives on. Everything here has a key, because a queue does not wait for a mouse.

  • Barcode scanning, or type any part of a product name and press Enter
  • Search by alias, SKU, barcode or the customer's own word for it
  • Quantity, item discount and percentage discount editable on the line
  • Pack price and unit price side by side — sell a strip or the whole box
  • Bill-level discount, and remarks that print on the receipt
  • Split payment across cash, card, bank, wallet and credit on one bill
  • Hold a sale (F6) and bring it back (F7) — serve somebody else in between
  • Several half-finished bills open at once, cycled with Ctrl+Tab
  • Price check (F8) without starting a bill
  • Live margin on the bill as you build it — cost, margin and percentage
  • Cash session per cashier: open with a float, close and reconcile the shift
  • Payment QR (Raast, JazzCash, EasyPaisa) with the amount already in it
  • Customer-facing display so the buyer watches the bill being built
  • Thermal 80mm receipts, reprint any invoice, and A4 invoices for parties
  • Quotations and estimates that convert into an invoice without retyping
  • Return by invoice number, or an open return when there is no bill
  • A line can only be returned once — the till says how many are left

Scan, adjust, F4. The margin on the bill is visible while you build it.

Stock and inventory

One ledger behind every count, however many ways you sell the same thing.

  • One stock figure per product, however it is packed or priced
  • Pack barcodes: a carton and the pieces inside it are one product
  • Buy a sack, sell it in 100 g bags — conversions are part of the item
  • Batch numbers with expiry dates, and FEFO allocation at the till
  • Expiry alerts with a window you choose — months ahead, not days
  • Serial and IMEI tracking per unit, with warranty months
  • Size and colour variants under one product, entered as a grid
  • Rack and shelf locations shown while billing
  • Weighing-scale barcodes: item and weight read straight off the label
  • Minimum stock levels with low-stock alerts on the dashboard
  • Multiple godowns and stock transfers between them
  • Stock counts a supervisor approves before anything moves
  • Barcode label printing, per product or a whole size run
  • CSV import for products, and a migration wizard from your old software
  • Fast-moving, slow-moving and dead-stock reports
The product list showing rack locations, stock, cost and price
Every item carries its rack, its stock and what it cost you.

Purchase and suppliers

What comes in, what it cost, and what you still owe for it.

  • Purchases against the supplier's own bill number
  • Goods receipt (GRN) with batch, expiry, serial or variant as needed
  • Whatever is unpaid posts straight to the supplier's balance
  • Purchase orders with reorder suggestions from your own sales history
  • Purchase returns, credited against the supplier
  • Opening Purchase for stock already on the shelf — stock without a false debt
  • Delivery challans: goods out first, invoice raised afterwards
  • Landed cost so the margin is worked out against what you actually paid

Stock in, against the supplier’s own bill number.

Customers, credit and recovery

Giving credit is easy. Getting it back is the business.

  • A full account per customer: every bill, every payment, what is still due
  • Credit limits — a sale that would break one is refused at the till
  • Credit days per party, so "overdue" means what you agreed with them
  • Instalment (kishtain) plans for big-ticket items, tracked to the rupee
  • Today's call list: broke a promise, promised today, then quietly forgotten
  • Log a call with what they said and when they will pay
  • Ageing report: not due, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and 90+ days, oldest first
  • Payments clear the oldest bill first — the way both sides of a counter think
  • WhatsApp reminder with their balance, sent from the same row
  • Loyalty points and promotions that apply themselves at the counter

Money and the day close

The part that decides whether the drawer agrees with the books.

  • Payments and receipts against any customer or supplier
  • Expenses by head, so the day's costs are not a guess
  • Cash handover from cashier to owner — and it stays the cashier's until confirmed
  • Cash added or taken out recorded separately from sales and expenses
  • Daily Book: sales, how the money came in, who billed what, purchases, expenses, recovery
  • "Expected in drawer" worked out, then you type what you actually counted
  • Short, excess or matched — recorded, never quietly buried on the next day
  • Tomorrow opens with the cash you counted, not the figure the machine hoped for
  • Closing history, with the difference on every day you have closed
  • A closed day is frozen; only the owner can re-open one, and the reason is logged

Accounting

Real double-entry that posts itself, not a summary of the till.

  • Every sale, purchase, payment and expense writes its own balanced journal
  • Trial balance, profit & loss and balance sheet, always current
  • Party ledgers for every customer and supplier
  • Chart of accounts you can extend
  • Cheque register — issued, received, cleared and bounced
  • Bank and cash accounts with transfers between them
  • Manual journal entries when something genuinely needs one

Real double-entry, posted by the sales themselves.

Staff, HR and payroll

Who did the work, and what they are owed for it.

  • Employees with their own login, role and permissions
  • Attendance, leave and advances
  • One-click payroll runs against attendance and advances
  • Salesman commission from the sale, and per-line commission where a trade needs it
  • Serial + PIN stamped on every transaction the person enters
  • Roles that decide who may discount, refund, see cost price or open settings
  • A temporary password on first login — you never keep knowing their password
  • Full audit trail: who changed what, and when

Reports

Over fifty of them, filed in the drawers you already use.

  • Eight groups: Daily, Stock, Sales, Purchase, Accounts, Item, Listing and Reprinting
  • Daily registers for sale, sales return, purchase, purchase return, adjustment, quotation and PO
  • Header-wise transaction summary across all seven documents
  • Profit — by day, by item, by category, by salesman
  • Stock valuation, dead stock, expiry, low stock and movement
  • Cash book, day book, party ledgers and ageing
  • Hourly sales, so staffing follows the rush rather than an assumption
  • Item history worth printing — every movement of one product
  • Print and CSV export on every report, from the same column definition
  • Wide registers print landscape instead of at a size nobody can read

Fifty-odd reports, filed in the drawers you already use.

WhatsApp

The channel your customers already answer, wired into the till.

  • Send the invoice as the customer walks away
  • Payment reminders from the credit-due list, one tap per customer
  • Birthday and festival messages
  • Bulk campaigns to a filtered customer list
  • Message templates you edit once
  • QR bridge today, Meta Cloud API ready

Tax, FBR and compliance

Choose your country; the rest is filled in.

  • Country setup fills currency, tax rate and the tax-number label together
  • Tax added at the till (Pakistan, US) or included in the price (Gulf, EU, India)
  • Per-product tax rate to override the shop rate; −1 marks an item exempt
  • Receipts show the tax split by rate — what an inspector actually asks for
  • FBR digital invoicing with QR receipts for sales-tax registered businesses
  • Change the rate the day the government changes it — no new version needed

E-commerce

Online orders that become ordinary sales against the same stock.

  • WooCommerce and Shopify order sync
  • Online orders arrive as sales and draw down the same stock figure
  • Stock and price updates pushed back to the store
  • One inventory for the counter and the website

Delivery and distribution

For businesses where the goods go to the customer.

  • Home delivery on a named rider, with the cash he is carrying his responsibility
  • Rider cash reconciled at the end of the round
  • Order booking in the market on a phone, against live stock and real balances
  • Booker routes and beat coverage planned per day, reported against the plan
  • Supply runs and printed load sheets
  • Delivery challans, invoiced afterwards
  • Orders queue on the phone through a dead signal and post themselves later

On the phone

The shop in your pocket, and the market in your booker's.

  • Owner dashboard, alerts and approvals in any phone browser on the shop network
  • Android app for owners, order bookers and riders
  • Sign in with a short shop code — it keeps working when the address changes
  • Today's sale, what is owed, what is running out, what is waiting on you
  • Buy list and approvals from the phone
  • Offline queue, because a booker in a bazaar needs the app to open

Printers, drawers and scales

The counter hardware, set up once.

  • Prints through Windows by default — any printer works
  • Network thermal printers by IP and port, with a test print
  • Automatic paper cut and a cash drawer that opens on payment
  • Barcode scanners: plug in and scan, nothing to configure
  • Weighing scales that print barcode labels with the weight inside
  • A4 invoices for parties alongside 80mm slips for the counter

Security and your data

Boring on purpose. This is the part you notice only when it fails.

  • JWT authentication with role changes that take effect immediately
  • Granular permissions per role and per screen
  • Sensitive credentials (FBR, secrets) encrypted at rest
  • Nightly automatic backups
  • An extra backup folder — USB, network drive, or a folder your cloud syncs
  • Backup passphrase, so a lost USB stick is not a lost customer list
  • Full audit log of every change, kept for the questions asked months later

How it runs

One installer, your own hardware, no cloud in the middle.

  • One setup file with Server and Client modes
  • Clients discover the server on the LAN — no IP addresses to type
  • Realtime sync across every counter over web sockets
  • Fast local SQLite database, backed up on a schedule
  • Runs as a Windows desktop app, or in any browser on the network
  • No internet needed to sell — only for WhatsApp, FBR, backups and the phone app
  • English, Roman Urdu and Arabic, each one complete
  • Business-type presets that switch modules on and leave the rest available

One question at setup decides which of these modules you ever see.

Help built in

The manual is in the software, not in a drawer.

  • The full user manual inside the app, searchable from any screen
  • Ctrl+K searches everything: products, customers, invoices, screens, help
  • Ctrl+/ shows the keyboard shortcuts on screen
  • The old menu keys most counters were trained on still work (Alt+S, Alt+P, Alt+R…)

Learn six of these and a bill halves in time

Press Ctrl+/ anywhere in the software to see the full list on screen.

F4 · Ctrl+STake payment
F6 · F7Hold the sale · bring one back
F8Check a price without starting a bill
F9 · Ctrl+IJump to the search box
F12Customer details and balance
Ctrl+DRemove the last line
Ctrl+PPrint / reprint
Ctrl+KSearch anything — products, customers, invoices, screens
Ctrl+1…9Jump straight to a section
Ctrl+TabCycle through half-finished bills
Ctrl+Shift+DDay Close
F10Drive the menu from the keyboard alone

If your staff were trained on the older shop software most counters here use, its menu keys work too — Alt+S sale, Alt+P purchase, Alt+R reports.

The honest way to judge a list this long

Install it and try the five things your shop does every day. That is a better test than any feature table — and it costs you a download.
