🥇 What is OGP In?
OGP stands for Old Gold Purchase. When a customer brings old, used, or broken gold jewellery to sell, the shop buys it and issues an OGP receipt. The customer can use this credit amount to offset against new jewellery purchases.

Customer offsets OGP credit against new purchase
The OGP amount is not paid in cash to the customer. Instead, it becomes a credit balance (OGP No.) that the customer uses when buying new jewellery from the shop. When invoicing a new sale, the cashier selects OGP as one of the payment modes and enters the OGP No.
Multiple Items Per Receipt
A customer can bring multiple pieces in one visit — a ring, a broken bangle, a chain. Each piece is entered separately with its own weight, karat, and value. All items are combined into one OGP receipt number.
OTP Security Verification
A unique security feature — before the OGP is saved, a one-time password (OTP) is sent to the customer's mobile. The cashier enters this OTP to confirm the customer's identity and consent. This prevents fraud and unauthorised gold purchases. Can be enabled/disabled by admin.
NIC Required
The customer's National Identity Card (NIC) number is recorded for compliance and audit purposes. This creates a paper trail for every old gold purchase transaction.
The OGP credit can only be used as a set-off payment within the shop — it cannot be redeemed as cash. The OGP No. is linked to the customer and can be tracked through the payment records.
⚖️ Step 2: Adding Gold Items (Tab 1)
Enter each gold item the customer is bringing in. Weigh the item, assess the karat, agree on a price, and add it to the receipt. Repeat for each piece.

Amount shop pays for this piece
All three fields — Weight, Karat and Amount — are required for each item. The amount is the price agreed with the customer for that piece, not the current market rate per gram.
You can add as many items as needed in one session. Each piece gets its own line in the receipt, but all items share the same OGP Number.
👤 Step 3: Customer Details (Tab 2)
Record the customer's details. The NIC number is important for compliance — it creates an identity record for every old gold purchase. The mobile number is used for OTP verification.
OTP will be sent to this number if enabled
Required for compliance records
After you click Proceed, if OTP verification is enabled by your administrator, a one-time password is sent to the customer's mobile. The customer reads the OTP to you and you enter it to confirm the transaction.
Admin can: Enable or disable OTP verification from the Admin Panel. When disabled, the OGP is saved directly without the OTP step. The OTP adds a layer of security to prevent unauthorised or fraudulent gold purchases.
🔐 Step 4: OTP Verification
A 4-digit One-Time Password has been sent to the customer's mobile number. Ask the customer to share the OTP they received, then enter it here to confirm the transaction.
The OTP is sent simultaneously to the customer's phone AND to a backup admin phone number configured by your administrator. This ensures the transaction can still proceed even if the customer has a network issue.
OTP Verification
A 4-digit OTP has been sent to 077****567. Ask the customer to share the code from their SMS.
OTP expires in 5:00
OTP Disabled: If your administrator has turned off OTP verification, this step is skipped entirely and the OGP is saved immediately after the customer details are submitted.
The OTP expires after 5 minutes. If it expires, the customer details form must be re-submitted to generate a new OTP. Use the Resend to Admin button if the customer did not receive their SMS — the admin's phone has a copy of the same OTP.
✅ OGP Receipt Issued!
The OGP is saved and the receipt is ready for printing. The customer's OGP Number is now active as a credit balance they can use when purchasing new jewellery.
📋 How the Customer Uses Their OGP Credit
When Buying New Jewellery
The customer brings their OGP receipt when they want to buy new jewellery. During invoicing, the cashier selects OGP as one of the payment modes, enters the OGP Number, and the system verifies the available credit balance and applies it.
Partial Use Allowed
The customer does not have to use the full OGP amount in one transaction. They can use part of the credit now and save the remaining balance for a future purchase. The system tracks the remaining OGP balance automatically.
SMS Confirmation
If SMS is enabled, the customer receives a confirmation message with their OGP Number, total weight received, and the credit amount. They can use this as reference when they return to make a purchase.
SMS sent to customer:
"Dear Customer, We have received your gold. OGP No: OG-A00123…"
"Dear Customer, We have received your gold. OGP No: OG-A00123…"
