Gold Shop Billing and WhatsApp Automation System

Custom Gold Shop Billing Website with Secure Data Ownership & Backup

Project Overview

I need a private, secure billing website for my personal gold shop. This is not an e-commerce website and does not require a jewellery catalogue or online shopping facility.

The system should help me create gold bills, manage customers, calculate charges, generate invoices, and share invoices through WhatsApp.

Required Features

- Admin login with secure password protection
- Customer management with name, mobile number, and purchase history
- Gold billing based on:
- Gold weight in grams
- Purity such as 22K and 18K
- Gold rate per gram
- Making charges
- Wastage percentage
- Other charges and discounts
- Applicable taxes
- Multiple items in one invoice
- Automatic total calculation
- Unique invoice number
- Printable and downloadable PDF invoice
- Paid, unpaid, and partially paid status
- Invoice sharing through WhatsApp
- Sales history and search facility
- Daily, monthly, and yearly sales reports
- Excel/CSV data export
- Responsive design for mobile and desktop

Data Security and Ownership — Very Important

The website, domain, hosting, database, source code, customer records, invoices, and business data must belong to the client.

- Domain and hosting must be created under my own email and account.
- The developer must not host the website only under their personal account.
- Automatic daily database backups are required.
- I must be able to download complete backups whenever needed.
- Customer, invoice, and sales data must be exportable in Excel/CSV format.
- Full source code and database backup must be handed over after completion.
- If the developer stops working or maintenance is discontinued, I must still retain access to my website and data.
- The developer must provide complete handover and restoration instructions.
- No data should be deleted, locked, or made inaccessible without my written permission.

WhatsApp Integration

The system should allow me to select a customer, generate the invoice PDF, and share it through WhatsApp. Please clearly explain whether official WhatsApp Business API, a third-party provider, templates, or additional message charges will be required.
