How Tijarat Helps Local Businesses Go Digital

آپ کی دکان، اب ڈیجیٹل — بغیر کسی اضافی خرچ کے

The neighborhood kiryana store already has everything a business needs — loyal customers, fair prices, trusted credit. What it usually lacks is software that respects how it actually works. Tijarat was built for exactly this shop.

The problem with "going online"

Most digitization pushes fail small shops for three reasons: they demand expensive hardware, they force products into foreign units (a "piece" of rice?), and they take the customer relationship away from the shopkeeper. A dukaan that sells sugar by the kilo, oil by the pouch and cigarettes by the single stick cannot run on software designed for barcode supermarkets.

What Tijarat does differently

1. Zero-hardware POS. The point of sale runs in the browser on the phone or laptop already on your counter. No terminals, no printers required, no installation. It even caches your catalog so a weak connection does not stop a sale.
2. Units that match your mandi. Buy a bag of rice, sell it by KG or by the gram. Buy a carton of medicine, sell strips or single tablets. Stock stays truthful in one base unit automatically — see the kiryana POS guide.
3. Your customers find you. Your shop appears on the Tijarat marketplace to customers in your own city and service zone — people who can actually walk in or receive a delivery, not strangers across the country.
4. Delivery without a fleet. When an order needs to go out, book a rider from the Tijarat rider network — per-delivery pricing, OTP-verified handovers, no salaries or bikes to manage.
5. The khata goes digital. Your udaar register becomes a searchable ledger with running balances per customer — details in the udaar khata guide.

Start free, stay in control

Every new vendor starts on a free trial with the full toolkit open. There is no revenue share on your counter sales, your customer list stays yours, and WhatsApp ordering keeps working even for customers who never create an account. Verification (KYC) is a one-time document review handled by the platform admin, so customers know your shop is real.

A realistic first week

Day one: create your shop profile and add your twenty fastest-moving items with their packaging units. Day two: run the POS alongside your normal counter routine. Day three: share your shop link on WhatsApp status. Within the week your regulars are ordering from home, your khata is searchable, and your stock count finally matches the shelves.
