What do I need to start using eKhata?
A smartphone or a computer with a browser, and an internet connection. Message our team on WhatsApp and they create your account and send your login. You do not need to know accounting.
How it works
From paper register to digital khata in four simple steps
No accounting degree needed. We set up your account and you do your day the way you always have, on your phone instead of the register.
- 1Step 1
Message us on WhatsApp
Tell us what kind of shop you run. Our team creates your account, sends your login and starts your 7-day free trial. There is no sign-up form to fill and nothing to install first.
- Your account is set up for you
- Support in Urdu and English
- Works on Android, iPhone and Windows
- 2Step 2
Add your customers, suppliers and products
Enter each customer's and supplier's current balance as an opening balance, and your products with their unit, opening quantity, buying price and selling price. You do not have to retype the whole register. Start with the people and items you deal with most.
- Kilo, litre, metre, yard, thaan, bag and more
- Opening balances for existing customers
- Our team can help with the first entries
- 3Step 3
Run your day: bills, payments and expenses
Make a bill when you sell, record a payment when money comes in, and note an expense when you spend. One bill updates the customer's khata, the stock and the cash book together, so you never write the same thing twice.
- Full or part payment on every bill
- PDF invoice, thermal receipt or WhatsApp
- Stock falls as you sell
- 4Step 4
Close the day and see where you stand
In the evening, match the drawer against the cash book. Whenever you like, open the reports to see your profit and loss, your balance sheet and what customers still owe you. Send a WhatsApp statement to anyone who is overdue.
- Cash, bank, Easypaisa and JazzCash kept apart
- Profit and loss for any date range
- Daily cloud backup
A normal day with eKhata
- Morning
Open eKhata. Yesterday's closing cash is today's opening balance.
- During the day
Bill each sale, record each payment and note each expense as it happens.
- Evening
Match the drawer with the cash book. A difference shows the same day.
- Month end
Run payroll, read the profit and loss report and send statements to overdue customers.
Frequently asked questions
Pick a question to see how eKhata works, what it costs and how to get started.
Do I have to type in my whole old register?
No. Enter each customer's and supplier's current balance as an opening balance and each product's opening stock. From then on every bill and payment updates them for you. Our team can help you with the first entries.
Can my staff use it too?
Yes. You can create staff logins with permissions for each module, set to view, edit or none, so each person sees only what their job needs.
Where are my records kept?
Your entries are saved to the cloud and backed up daily, so a lost phone does not mean lost records. You log in on any device and your khata is there.
