What medical store owners need from billing software
A pharmacy has unique requirements that generic billing software ignores:
OwnStore for pharmacies — key features
Batch tracking with expiry alerts
Every stock entry can have a batch number and expiry date. OwnStore alerts you 30 days before expiry so you can return stock to the distributor or discount it.
8,000+ medicines pre-loaded
When you sign up as a pharmacy, OwnStore pre-loads 253,000+ medicine names from the national drug database for autocomplete. Type "Para" → instantly see Paracetamol 500mg, Paracetamol 650mg, Crocin, Combiflam, and 30+ variants.
GST on medicines
Most medicines fall under 5% GST (HSN 3004). OwnStore auto-applies the correct rate when you set up your products with HSN codes.
Purchase orders to distributors
Create purchase orders for your distributors (Stockist, C&F). When goods arrive, mark as received — stock auto-updates and the purchase is recorded for GST input credit.
Patient management (clinic-linked pharmacies)
If you're attached to a clinic, manage prescriptions and patient records in the same app.
