POS for baby shops and baby supplies stores in Kenya

Tap a bodysuit, pick the colour and the age size, and the counter shows how many are left; diapers go by their size, and the child's usual size is remembered for the next visit. Formula and baby food keep their batch and expiry so the oldest is sold first, strollers and car seats keep their serial number for recalls, car seat fitting and stroller assembly go on the same bill with a ready date, and the Baby shop dashboard shows what sells by tab and brand.

  • VAT-compliant invoices
  • 16% VAT built in
  • No credit card

Baby Shop POS

Built for the way you work

Diapers, formula, baby clothes in age sizes, strollers and car seats: the child's usual size, formula expiry dates, car seat fitting and gift wrap.

Formula batches and expiry

Record the batch and expiry of formula, baby food and creams on the purchase; the expiry board shows what expires soon so it is sold first.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I sell clothes by age size and diapers by size?

    Yes. Clothes come in their colours and age sizes and diapers in their sizes; with the Colour & size variants add-on the counter shows what is left of each, and the child's usual size is marked for returning customers.

    How do I stop formula from expiring on the shelf?

    Add the Batch & expiry dates add-on: record the batch and expiry when the formula arrives, and the expiry board lists what expires soon with its value, so you sell it first or return it in time. StartAI Radio also says it aloud.

    Does StartERP follow Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) VAT rules?

    Yes. Invoices show your KRA PIN, VAT at 16% and totals in shillings, following Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) requirements. Tax invoices with your KRA PIN and VAT at 16%.

    What hardware do I need?

    Any PC, laptop, tablet or phone with a modern browser. USB and Bluetooth barcode scanners that type into the browser work out of the box, and receipts print on 80 mm thermal or A4 printers.
