Check what you need in a retail platform. See how many requirements Commmerce covers.
Select your requirements above to see how Commmerce covers them.
The checklist lays out the core capabilities an Indian retail platform should cover, so you can tick what you already have and spot what is missing before you buy. It walks through areas like GST billing, inventory across stores, barcode and POS, online store and marketplace sync, payments and UPI, and reporting. Use it as a requirements list when comparing vendors or renewing an existing tool.
A two-store footwear retailer runs through the list and ticks GST invoicing and barcode billing as covered, but leaves unchecked centralised stock across both branches, e-commerce sync, and loyalty. That gives them three concrete must-haves to raise with any vendor before signing up.
GST-compliant billing with correct HSN codes and tax slabs is non-negotiable, because it drives your invoices, returns, and input credit. After that, inventory that stays accurate across sales channels usually matters most.
It is worth checking that the platform can add an online store or marketplace sync later without a migration. Many single-store retailers add WhatsApp orders or a website within a year, and switching software again is costly.
One connected system is generally better because every bill updates stock instantly, avoiding the mismatch you get when billing and inventory are maintained separately. It also gives you one source of truth for reports.
Confirm it supports multiple tax slabs, HSN/SAC codes, GSTIN capture on invoices, and export of GSTR-ready reports. Ask the vendor for a sample invoice and a sample GSTR-1 summary.
Every feature in this checklist is built into Commmerce. No integrations, no add-ons.
