Four steps for shops, stores and chains: staff, attendance, salary advances and cash pay.
4 steps · About 15 minutes · Free for up to 10 employees
Shops, kirana stores and retail chains need simple attendance, salary on time, advances for staff, and often cash pay.
This guide shows how to set up BizlumoAI for a retail business in four steps, plus salary advances and the cash pay register.
The whole setup in one video (10 min), from sign-up to the first payroll, step by step. Every step below is in it.
Pick Retail shop / Kirana as your business type when you sign up. It switches on the right features and makes the usual staff groups for you. You can change all of it later in Settings.
After you log in, a setup checklist stays in the corner of every page. Each step ticks itself when it is done, and clicking a step opens the right page.
Go to Employees and click Add Employee. Type the name, email and a password for the BizlumoAI app. Pick the department and position. The staff group Store staff is picked for you. Helpers can be on a daily wage instead. Add the rest of your team the same way, or upload them all from an Excel or CSV file.

Staff check in from the BizlumoAI app on their own phone or on a shared phone at the counter. The Attendance page shows who came in and when. You can also type a day in by hand: open the person on the Employees page and click Record Punches.

Go to Payroll, pick the month and click Generate All. Everyone’s pay is worked out from the days they worked, with any advance instalment taken off. Open any payslip to check it, then download them all, the bank file or the cash pay register.

Go to Admin Users and click Add Admin. Type their name, a username, email and a first password, and pick a role. For example your store manager. Each role sees only what it needs.

Not part of the checklist, but most shop or stores use this every month.
Go to Loans & Advances and click Issue Loan. Pick the person, the amount and how many months to pay it back. Each month’s instalment is taken off their salary by itself, and Outstanding shows what is left.
