optical shop billing software for frames, lenses and power records
One sale is two products and a wait. RetailDek bills the frame and the lens as separate lines, keeps the power on the customer's own account, and follows the job from the day it is booked to the day the spectacles are handed over.
Challenges in optical shops
The everyday problems this trade knows too well.
A frame and a lens are not one product
The frame is on the display; the lens is ordered, coated and fitted. Billing both as a single "spectacles" line hides your stock on one and your margin on the other.
The power is written on a slip
A customer returns a year later wanting the same power in a new frame. The prescription is in a drawer, in another shop, or gone — and the whole test starts again.
Delivery promised for Friday
The lens comes from the lab and the fitting takes a day. Between booking and hand-over the only tracking is a name written on a job envelope.
Two hundred frames that look alike
A dozen brands share the same display. Which brand earned its shelf and which is only holding your cash is not a question you can answer by looking.
How RetailDek fits
The real features that solve the way optical shops actually work.
Frame and lens as separate lines
Bill the frame from live stock and the lens as its own item on the same invoice, each at its own rate, so both halves of the sale are costed honestly.
Power kept on the customer's account
Every customer is a party with a full history. Record the prescribed power on their order and invoice so the next visit starts from a record instead of a fresh guess.
Booked, reserved, delivered
Take the job as an order, reserve the frame so it is not sold off the display, take an advance against the customer's ledger, and convert it to a GST invoice on collection.
Brand-wise stock and sales
Track live quantity on every frame and read item-wise sales in reports, so you can see which brands move and which shelf of the display is simply parked money.
The right rate on each line
Spectacles for correcting vision are taxed at 5% under the rates effective 22 September 2025, while sunglasses sit at 18%. Each item carries its own HSN code and rate, so a mixed bill splits CGST/SGST with round-off.
A day in the shop
How a typical day flows with RetailDek.
Load the display
Import frames brand and model wise from Excel with HSN codes, rates and opening stock, and print barcode labels for the frame boxes.
Book the job
Record the power, pick the frame and the lens type, reserve the frame against the order and take an advance onto the customer's ledger.
Fit, bill, hand over
When the lens is fitted, convert the order into a GST invoice — stock deducts, the advance adjusts and the balance settles on the ledger.

Optical Shops — FAQs
Answers to the questions owners in this trade ask most.
Yes. Both go on the same invoice as their own items at their own rates, so the frame comes out of live stock while the lens is billed and costed separately.
