Can RetailIQ export sales and purchase vouchers directly into TallyPrime?

Yes. RetailIQ features a 1-click Tally ERP 9 / TallyPrime XML export. Cashiers bill rapidly at the counter using hotkeys, and your accountant imports the clean ledger XML file into Tally at month-end.

Why shouldn't I use Tally for frontline retail counter billing?

Tally is designed for back-office accounting, not high-speed checkout counters. It lacks hotkey split payments, phone camera barcode scanning, offline queue management, customer loyalty points, and automated WhatsApp bills.
