Where RichBills fits better
RichBills is built for the retail billing counter. What it offers, with the plan noted where it is not on every plan:
- Lower entry price: ₹199 a month (₹99 for the first 3 months) against ₹649 to ₹799 per location on Zoho POS Standard
- Loyalty points, offers, gift vouchers and coupons together on Dukaan Plus at ₹399 a month
- Two locations on Dukaan Plus for one price; Zoho POS bills each location
- Customer udhaar ledger and a WhatsApp bill link for every sale
- Online catalog where customers order on WhatsApp, on every paid plan
- Day close with cash count, staff sales report and activity log from Dukaan Plus
- Hindi and Gujarati menus in the app, and WhatsApp support from Ahmedabad
Not for you if: RichBills needs an internet connection (no offline billing), does not generate e-invoices (IRN) or e-way bills, and does not connect to a weighing scale by cable (it does read barcode labels printed by label-printing scales).
Switch karna hai? Moving from Zoho POS to RichBills
RichBills has a Smart Import screen (Items > Smart Import) that reads any Excel or CSV file. Column names and order do not matter: it matches the columns for you, shows every row with its errors before anything is saved, and lets you fix the mapping by hand. Your Zoho POS data stays where it is, so you can run both side by side for a few weeks.
What comes across
- Items: name, item code or barcode, HSN, sale and purchase price, MRP, GST rate, unit, category and opening stock
- Customers and suppliers: name, phone, GSTIN, address and the balance to receive or to pay
What does not
- Old bills, payments and Zoho POS reports: keep Zoho POS (or its export) for past records; old-bill import is only built for Vyapar files
- Accounting books, GST returns already filed, and anything Zoho POS-specific such as the Zoho Books sync
Steps
- Get your lists out of Zoho POS. Export your items and your customers and vendors from Zoho POS as Excel or CSV files. If your account syncs with Zoho Books, the same lists can come from Zoho Books.
- Upload in RichBills. In RichBills open Items > Smart Import (or Contacts > Smart Import for parties), choose the file and let it read the columns. Check the preview, change any column it got wrong, and import. Failed rows can be downloaded as a CSV to fix and upload again.
- Print labels and bill. Print barcode labels for items that have none, set your bill format (58/80 mm thermal or A4) and make a test bill. The item limit of your plan applies (2,000 items on Dukaan, 10,000 on Dukaan Plus, unlimited above).
Stuck on a file? Send it to us on WhatsApp and we help with the import for free. The paid Dukaan Setup service (one time) does the whole import for you.
