New · Your shop on WhatsApp
You are at the distributor’s office, or at home after closing. Open your own chat in WhatsApp and send a number. AgroPay on the shop computer answers from the bills your counter made, in your language, within a few seconds.

Sample shop, made-up figures. Pick a language above and the answers change with it.
The menu
A number looks the same in every language and every script, so the menu is numbers. Words work too, typed the way a shopkeeper types them.
The total with cash, UPI and credit, what was collected on khata, profit after expenses, what sold most, and the change from yesterday.
Everyone who owes you, largest first, how many days old each balance is, and the total over 90 days.
What is out of stock, and what has fallen below its reorder level.
The same figures for yesterday.
The month so far, the best day, the average a day and the five products that sold most.
Money in and money out today, by where it came from and where it went.
What you owe each supplier, largest first.
Batches that expire in the next 30 days, and anything that already has.
How many items are in stock and what the stock is worth.
Type ramesh, or his mobile number, and get his balance, last bill, last payment and recent entries.
Type dap and get the bags in stock, the price, the loose price if you sell it loose, batches with expiry, and what sold in 30 days.
Add pdf to any answer, or send 2 pdf, and the report comes as a file.
Reports as PDF
The PDF is made on your shop computer and lands in your chat as a file, with your shop’s name on top.
At closing time
Every evening AgroPay sends the day’s sale to your own chat: the total, cash, UPI and credit, what was collected on khata, profit after expenses and what sold most.
Partners
Add up to 10 numbers: a partner, the son or daughter who runs the evening shift, the manager. Each one asks from their own WhatsApp, the same way you do.
Safe by design
The shop on your phone is built to be boring about safety: it only ever replies, and only to the people you chose.
A message counts as a question only in your own chat or from an allowed number. Anyone else who writes to the shop gets nothing from AgroPay.
Every answer is read from the books. Nothing sent from a phone can make, change or cancel a bill.
Apart from the evening summary and one welcome to a number you added, it sends nothing to anyone who did not write first.
Twelve questions in one minute pause the answers for two minutes, and 300 answers is the ceiling for a day.
Setting it up
Open WhatsApp Marketing from the menu, or the last step of the Setup Guide, and press Connect my WhatsApp. “Also check my shop from this phone” is already switched on.
The same way you link WhatsApp Web: in WhatsApp on your phone, open Linked devices and scan the code on the screen.
Your own chat gets the menu and a one-page guide made from your shop’s own figures. Send 1 and today’s sale comes back.
Inside the shop
Switch on “Other computers in the shop” in Shop Settings. A phone, a laptop or a second counter on the same Wi-Fi then opens AgroPay in its browser, working on the same books.
No. It is WhatsApp, which is already on your phone, so there is nothing to install and nothing new to learn. AgroPay itself stays on the Windows computer at your counter, where the printer is.
Yes. The answers are made by AgroPay on the shop computer, so it has to be switched on, with AgroPay open and connected to the internet. If it was off at closing time, the evening summary comes the next morning instead, once.
No. AgroPay answers only your own “Message yourself” chat and the numbers you have allowed, and an allowed number must first send the 4-digit code AgroPay shows you. Anyone else who writes gets nothing from AgroPay.
AgroPay links to your WhatsApp the way WhatsApp Web does, by scanning a code once. It is not WhatsApp’s official business service, so WhatsApp’s own rules apply to your number as they always do.
For these answers AgroPay writes only to your own chat and to numbers you allowed, and only when they ask. The two exceptions are one welcome to a number you add and the evening summary.
English, Marathi, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Malayalam or Odia, chosen in settings. The PDFs print in the same language. Numbers work in any script, and words are understood the way a shopkeeper types them: sale, baki, udhar, बिक्री, ಬಾಕಿ.
No. The phone only reads. Bills, stock and khata change only on a computer where someone has signed in to AgroPay.
No. It is part of the AgroPay licence, and there is no charge per message, because it uses your own WhatsApp rather than a paid messaging service.
Install the free trial, make a few bills, and connect WhatsApp from the WhatsApp screen. Send 1 and your own figures come back. Or message us and we will set it up with you.
₹10,000 for the first year, ₹3,500 a year after.
