Categories set up for you
Choosing the grocery store type at setup pre-fills categories like Grocery, FMCG and Snacks, so new items slot into a structure that already fits a general store instead of one you build from scratch.
Grocery, kirana & FMCG
Billing, stock & khata for grocery stores
Grocery shelves move fast and packaged food carries a date you can't ignore. Pick "Grocery / food / FMCG" as your store type when you set up StockMitra, and your categories, reorder alerts and dashboard are already tuned for it — GST billing and customer khata alongside.
Reorder alerts tuned for fast-moving stock
Grocery items can sell out in a day. The grocery preset raises the default low-stock alert to 10 units instead of the usual 5, and puts "low stock" first on your dashboard — because an empty shelf is the thing you need to catch soonest.
Expiry tracking for FMCG, on by default
Packaged food and FMCG items get expiry tracking switched on automatically for this store type, with stock nearing its date surfaced on your dashboard instead of discovered when a customer complains.
Khata for regular customers
Local households running a monthly tab is routine for a grocery store. StockMitra's khata keeps a running balance per customer, linked to the bill, with a one-tap WhatsApp reminder when it's due.
GST billing at counter speed
Create GST-ready bills with PDF invoices fast enough for a busy grocery counter, without switching between a billing app and a separate stock register.

Frequently asked questions
Does StockMitra track expiry dates for grocery and FMCG items?
Yes. When you set your shop type to grocery at sign-up, expiry tracking is switched on by default and near-expiry stock shows up on your dashboard, so packaged food and FMCG items don't sit past their date unnoticed.
Why does StockMitra suggest a higher low-stock alert for grocery shops?
Grocery items sell fast and a shelf can go empty within a day. The grocery preset sets the default reorder alert at 10 units instead of the usual 5, so you get a warning early enough to reorder before you actually run out.
Can I set up Grocery, FMCG and Snacks categories automatically?
Yes. Choosing "Grocery / food / FMCG" as your store type at setup pre-fills categories like Grocery, FMCG and Snacks, so you're not building a category list from a blank screen.
Is StockMitra free for a small grocery or kirana shop?
Yes, the free plan covers GST billing, khata and stock tracking for up to 2,000 items and 150 bills a month. Paid plans start at ₹249/month for larger inventories.
