QuPOS FAQ

A lifetime licence costs ₹1,500, paid once. There is no monthly or yearly fee, and updates are free for the life of the product. One licence covers one PC.

Yes. Every download includes a 30-day free trial with every feature switched on. No sign-up, no email and no card are needed.

Without a licence the software becomes read-only. You can still open old bills, run reports and take backups, but you cannot create new bills or purchases until you activate a licence. Your data is never deleted.

Open the app and note the Machine ID it shows (the app can open the buy page with the Machine ID filled in). Pay ₹1,500, send us the Machine ID, and you receive a licence key. Paste the key into the app. Activation works offline, so the billing PC does not need internet.

The licence is valid for as long as QuPOS is sold and supported as a product, on the one PC it was issued for, with all updates included. It does not expire after a year.

One per PC, so three. Each PC has its own Machine ID and licence key. All three can share one SQL Server database.

Reinstalling QuPOS on the same PC keeps working with your key. If you reinstall Windows or replace the PC and the Machine ID changes, contact us with your old and new Machine IDs and your payment details to have the licence moved.

The price is ₹1,500 (INR). Message us on WhatsApp and we will share a way to pay from outside India.

QuPOS is made by Qubha, a software company in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Sales and support are on WhatsApp, phone and e-mail, Monday to Saturday; the contact page has the numbers.

Yes, fully. Billing, printing, stock, reports, backup and licence activation all work offline. Internet is only used to download the installer and to check for updates.

Use the built-in SQLite if you bill on one PC: it needs no setup at all. Choose Microsoft SQL Server or the free SQL Server Express when two or more billing counters on the same LAN must share one stock and one set of reports.

Yes. Install SQL Server or SQL Server Express on one PC (or a small server), then point every QuPOS counter on the LAN to that database. Each counter bills at the same time and stock updates for all.

On your own computer, in %ProgramData%\QubhaBilling (database, settings, licence, backups and logs), or in your own SQL Server. Nothing is sent to a cloud server.

Take a backup with one click at any time, and turn on automatic daily backup to a folder you choose. Pointing it at a USB drive or a cloud-synced folder such as OneDrive or Google Drive gives you an off-PC copy. Restore is also one click.

Any 58 mm (2-inch) or 80 mm (3-inch) thermal receipt printer installed in Windows, and any A4 printer for full invoices. A3 invoices and Save as PDF are also available.

3-inch (80 mm) is the better default for most shops: item names fit on one line and there is room for MRP, GST/VAT breakup and a UPI QR code. 2-inch (58 mm) printers are cheaper and smaller, and suit kiosks and accessory counters with short bills.

Any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner that works in keyboard (HID) mode, which covers almost every retail scanner. Plug it in and scan: there is nothing to configure in QuPOS.

Yes. It generates EAN-13 or Code-128 barcodes and prints labels with shop name, price and MRP on 50×25 mm or 38×25 mm labels, 2-up and 3-up rolls, or A4 sheets with 40 or 65 labels.

Yes, in the Supermarket business type. Labels printed by a weighing scale with the 2x barcode prefix are read at the counter so the item and its weight come in with one scan.

Yes. Choose the printer once; bills then print silently, can auto-print after save, and can print more than one copy.

Yes. The bill can carry an optional logo, header and footer text, a UPI payment QR code, the GST/VAT breakup, an HSN summary and the amount in words.

Yes. Set a tax % and HSN code per item. Sales within your state show CGST and SGST; inter-state sales use IGST. The GST summary report is available rate-wise and HSN-wise for your accountant.

Yes. Choose VAT for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Africa, the UK and other VAT countries, set your country and currency symbol, and the bill shows the VAT breakup. You can also choose no tax.

Yes. The country, tax system (GST, VAT or none) and currency symbol are configurable, so shops in the Gulf, South Asia, Africa, the UK, North America and Australia can use it.

No. QuPOS prints GST tax invoices and gives you rate-wise and HSN-wise tax summaries to file returns, but it does not connect to the GST portal, generate IRNs or e-way bills, or file returns for you.

Four, chosen in the first-run wizard and changeable later in Settings: Barcode Billing (general retail), Supermarket (grocery and kirana), Textile (garments, sarees, boutiques) and Mobile Shop (phones and accessories).

Yes, in the Mobile Shop type. Enter IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 when you purchase handsets, pick them at billing, print warranty months on the bill, and search by IMEI to find which bill sold a phone.

Yes. Press F6 to hold the current bill, bill the next customer, then press F7 to recall the held bill.

Yes. Split a bill across Cash, Card, UPI and Credit; the change to return is shown.

Yes. There are two roles: Admin and User. Give each staff member their own User login from the Users page. Users can bill, take returns and see reports, but cannot edit items or prices, cancel bills or change settings, and their discount is capped. Keep Admin for the owner.

Yes. Save your sheet as CSV and import it. Items can also be exported to CSV.

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), 4 GB RAM and 300 MB disk space. The Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is built into Windows 11 and is added by the installer on Windows 10 if missing.

No. QuPOS is a Windows desktop application for 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11.
