How to make an app for a fertiliser and seeds shop

A village input shop gives a lot on credit: seed in June, fertiliser in July, a sprayer in August, all to be paid after harvest. An app keeps each farmer's account with every bag and payment, records season bookings, and tracks stock by lot and expiry date so nothing old is sold.

Who uses the app

Usually the owner and one counter person. If a second person enters sales on another phone, or you run a second shop, connect your own Supabase database so both see the same farmer accounts.

The screens a fertiliser and seeds shop app needs

Farmers: Search by name, village or phone; each farmer's purchases, payments and balance
New sale: Pick the farmer, the items and bags, mark cash, UPI or credit, and save the bill
Season bookings: Seed and fertiliser booked ahead for the season, with advance paid and what is still to be given
Stock: Items by lot number and expiry date, bags in hand and a low-stock list
Dues by village: Farmers with a balance, grouped by village, with the oldest dues first
Purchases: Stock bought from each company or dealer, with bill number, lot and amount owed

Features worth asking for

Credit till harvest: each farmer's account runs through the season and shows the total at the end
Lot number and expiry date saved with stock, and a list of lots that expire soon
A bill as a PDF to share on WhatsApp or print from the phone
A WhatsApp reminder for dues after harvest with the farmer's balance filled in
Season bookings with the advance paid and a 'stock arrived' WhatsApp message
Hindi or Marathi labels for the counter
A UPI QR code at the counter for payments to your own UPI ID

Where the data lives

If only the shop phone is used, the data can stay on it; ask for a backup button and use it often, because the credit book is your money. With two phones or two shops, connect your own Supabase database from the chat.

Tips for a fertiliser and seeds shop app

Enter every farmer's opening balance on one date before you start, and check the total against your register.
Save the village with each farmer; dues by village is how you collect after harvest.
Record lot numbers and expiry dates when stock arrives, so you can find a lot if a farmer complains.
Keep the app to sales, credit and stock; don't add dose or crop advice screens.
Try a full week with both the register and the app before you trust the app's balances.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to government fertiliser sale systems, point-of-sale machines or Aadhaar devices; if your sales must be entered there, keep doing that. It doesn't send SMS or WhatsApp reminders by itself.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app keep farmers' credit until harvest?

Yes. Each farmer's purchases and payments run through the season, and the app shows the balance any time and the total after harvest.

Can I record seed bookings before the season?

Yes. Ask for a season bookings screen with the item, bags booked, advance paid and a message when the stock arrives.

Can the app track lot numbers and expiry dates?

Yes. Enter them when stock comes in, and the app lists lots that expire soon and shows which lot a farmer got.

Does the app connect to the government fertiliser sale system?

No. AppCub doesn't connect to outside systems or devices. Keep entering those sales where the law asks, and use the app for your own accounts.

Can I use the app in Marathi or Hindi?

Yes. Ask for Marathi or Hindi labels; the app's screens can be in the language your counter uses.

What if the shop phone is lost?

If the data is only on that phone, it is lost with it, so take backups often. With your own Supabase database, the data stays online and you sign in on a new phone.
