How to make an app for a jewellery shop

A jewellery shop keeps track of things a notebook handles badly: a bridal order with five pieces at two karigars, the advance taken at the old rate, a ring left for resizing, and which design photo the customer chose. An app keeps orders, repairs, stock by weight and customer details together on your phone.

Who uses the app

The owner and trusted counter staff. Jewellery records are sensitive, so ask for sign-in. If only the owner's phone uses the app, data can stay there. If staff or karigars use their own phones, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in.

The screens a jewellery shop app needs

Custom orders: Each order with design photos, pieces, target weight, karigar, due date, advance and balance
Repairs: Items left for repair, polishing or resizing, with a token number, photo, charge and ready status
Stock: Pieces by type with gross and net weight, hallmark details if the piece carries them, and a photo
Today's rate: The rate you type in each morning, used to work out estimates for the day
Customers: Name, phone, past purchases, orders and dates such as anniversaries if they share them
Catalogue: For customers: design photos by type with an 'ask today's rate' button on WhatsApp

Features worth asking for

Estimate from weight, the rate you typed in today and your making charges, as a PDF
Design photos attached to each custom order and repair
Karigar-wise list of pieces given out, weights given and received, and due dates
A WhatsApp message to the customer when an order or repair is ready
A phone reminder the day before a custom order is due
Sign-in so only the owner and named staff can open the app

Where the data lives

Owner-only use can keep data on one phone, with regular backups. For staff, karigars or a customer catalogue, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in; for advance payments in the app, connect your Razorpay account as well.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Custom orders, Repairs, Stock, Today's rate, Customers.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your jewellery shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my jewellery shop, Soni Jewellers in Jaipur. Screens: custom orders, repairs, stock, today's rate, customers and catalogue. Custom orders have design photos, pieces, target weight, karigar, due date, advance and balance. Repairs get a token number, photo, charge and ready status, with a WhatsApp 'ready' message. Stock by type with gross and net weight and a photo. I type today's rate each morning; estimates use weight, that rate and my making charges, as a PDF. Catalogue with an 'ask today's rate' WhatsApp button to 98XXXXXXXX. Sign-in for staff. Maroon and gold colours.

Tips for a jewellery shop app

Type the day's rate into the app every morning before the first estimate; the app doesn't fetch rates by itself.
Photograph each custom order's design and each repair item when it comes in; it settles 'this is not my ring' questions.
Record weights given to and received from each karigar on the same screen, so the difference is clear.
Keep the customer catalogue to designs, not your full stock list with weights.
Use sign-in and give staff their own login; don't share the owner's phone.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to weighing scales, testing machines or billing software, and it doesn't fetch live gold rates. You enter the weight and the day's rate, and messages to customers go out when you tap send on WhatsApp.
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 work out a jewellery estimate?

Yes. It multiplies the weight by the rate you entered that morning and adds your making charges, then makes a PDF to share. The final bill is still your call at the counter.

Does the app show live gold rates?

No. You type today's rate once in the morning, and the app uses it for that day's estimates.

Can I track pieces given to karigars?

Yes. Ask for a karigar screen with each piece, the weight given, the weight received back and the due date.

Can customers pay an advance in the app?

Yes, through your own Razorpay account after connecting Razorpay and Supabase. You can also show your UPI QR on screen at the counter.

Can I keep repair items with photos and tokens?

Yes. Each repair gets a token number and a photo when it comes in, and a WhatsApp button tells the customer when it is ready.

Can I remind customers about anniversaries?

If a customer shares the date, the app can list upcoming ones and show a reminder on your phone, with a WhatsApp button for a greeting you send yourself.
