Is Shopstox free to use?
Shopstox comes with a free 30-day trial — no credit card required. After the trial, it costs ₹500 per year. That's less than ₹42 per month for full inventory and sales management.
Is Shopstox an AI inventory scanner?
Yes — Shopstox works as an AI inventory scanner. Instead of scanning barcodes, it scans the product itself through your phone camera and fills in the name and category automatically. No barcode labels or separate scanner hardware needed.
Do I have to type in every product manually?
No. This is the main thing that sets Shopstox apart. Most inventory apps require you to type each product's name, category, and details by hand. Shopstox uses your phone camera and AI to read the product and fill in the name and category for you — you just confirm the price.
How is Shopstox different from Vyapar or other billing apps?
Apps like Vyapar are excellent for GST billing and accounting but require manual, mouse-driven data entry for every product — which is slow for shops with large catalogues. Shopstox focuses specifically on fast inventory cataloguing using AI photo recognition, at a flat ₹500/year with no tiered pricing.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Shopstox runs entirely in your phone's browser — Chrome, Safari, or any browser. Just open the link, sign in, and start using it. No Play Store or App Store download required.
How does the AI camera feature work?
Tap "Camera + AI" and take a photo of any product. Shopstox's AI analyses the image and automatically suggests the product name and category. You then add the cost price and selling price, and the product is added to your catalogue. Read the full step-by-step guide →
Can I use Shopstox on both my phone and computer?
Yes. Shopstox syncs your data across all your devices through your Synline account. Add products on your phone at the shop, check your profit reports on your computer at home.
What happens to my data if I don't upgrade after the trial?
Your data stays safe. Shopstox stores a backup on your device even without an active subscription. You won't lose your catalogue — you'll just need to upgrade to continue syncing to the cloud and adding new products.
Does Shopstox work for attar and liquid products?
Yes, Shopstox has dedicated support for liquid inventory. Track products sold by ml or grams, manage bottles of different sizes, and record partial sales — built specifically for attar shops and perfume retailers.
Who makes Shopstox?
