Should kirana stores stop using WhatsApp?

No. WhatsApp is great for communicating with customers. KiranaOS works alongside WhatsApp — customers order from your store page, and you get a WhatsApp notification with every order.

What does KiranaOS add that WhatsApp cannot do?

KiranaOS adds a structured product catalogue, a customer cart, QR code ordering, order history, delivery status tracking, and an owner dashboard — things WhatsApp is not designed to handle for a store.

Do customers still message me on WhatsApp when I use KiranaOS?

You still get WhatsApp alerts for every order placed. Customers can also message you directly on WhatsApp for questions. KiranaOS does not replace your WhatsApp number.

Yes. KiranaOS is completely free until 31 December 2026. After that, there is one simple plan: ₹35/month, with no commission, no order caps, and no hidden charges. No credit card required to start.

💬

Great for chatting with customers. Not built for ordering.

~ No order history — have to scroll up to check

How they work together

Dono saath kaam karte hain

KiranaOS WhatsApp ko replace nahi karta. Yeh aapki store ka ordering system hai — aur orders aapke WhatsApp pe aate hain.

Only WhatsApp

"Bhaiya, 1 Maggi, 1 Tata Salt dena" — aur aap manually note karte ho. Customer ko price yaad nahi, aapko total calculate karna padta hai.

With KiranaOS

Customer store kholti hai, items add karti hai, order place karti hai. Aapko WhatsApp alert milta hai: "Priya Sharma — Maggi x2, Tata Salt — ₹54". Sab clear.

Only WhatsApp

Customer ko yaad nahi kya available hai, kya price hai. Pehle poochhti hai, phir order deti hai. Kaafi back-and-forth.

With KiranaOS

Customer apni pace pe browse karti hai — sabke prices dikhte hain, categories hain, search hai. Aapka time bachta hai phone pe explain karne ka.

Only WhatsApp

Regular customers baar baar same cheezein order karti hain. Aapko scroll karke old orders dhundne padte hain ya yaad rakhna padta hai.

With KiranaOS

Customers apni order history dekh sakti hain aur "Your Usuals" section se same items ek tap mein cart mein add kar sakti hain. Repeat orders easy.

FAQ

Common questions

Kya KiranaOS use karne ke baad customers WhatsApp pe message nahi kar sakte?

Kar sakte hain. KiranaOS aapka WhatsApp number nahi badalta. Customers jo store se order dete hain unka alert WhatsApp pe aata hai. Aur jo seedha message karna chahte hain, woh pehle ki tarah kar sakte hain.

Kya mujhe customers ko WhatsApp chhod ke store link pe laana hoga?

Nahi. Dhire dhire shift hoga. Apne QR code aur store link WhatsApp groups mein share karo. Regulars samajh jayenge aur store se order karne lagte hain.

KiranaOS use karna kaisa lagta hai? Setup mushkil hai?

Aap register karo, hum store setup karte hain. Dashboard bilkul seedha hai — orders, inventory, sab ek jagah. Agar WhatsApp aata hai, yeh bhi aayega.

Kya KiranaOS free hai?

Haan. 31 December 2026 tak bilkul free, koi credit card nahi. Uske baad sirf ek simple plan: ₹35/month, koi commission nahi, koi order cap nahi, koi hidden charge nahi.
