Your first bill
Your first bill in 60 seconds
Three boxes, and the bill draws itself as you type — the same guided first bill you get at your counter after signing up.
Who
The customer's name, or just their number. A walk-in can stay blank.
e.g. Rahul Sharma
What
One item, how many, and the price. A catalogue item fills in its own price.
e.g. Classmate notebook · 4 · ₹55
How they paid
Cash, UPI or udhar. Udhar lands in the customer's khata on its own.
CashUPIUdhar (Credit)
Numbered, printable, and on the customer's WhatsApp — after a free signup and one email confirmation.
Every day at the counter
The four things your shop does daily
Bill, khata, stock and WhatsApp — in one place, in the language your counter already works in.
Khata
Every udhar in one ledger, on every plan — bills, counter sales and orders, with part payments applied oldest-first. Overdue days and reminders on paid plans.
Stock
Every sale drops the shelf count on its own. Each size keeps its own count, and low stock is flagged before the shelf runs out.
The bill as a link the moment you print it and a UPI QR on the bill — and, on paid plans, a polite reminder for what is still owed.
Switching from a notebook?
Start free Bring Your Old Khata
Years of udhar in a notebook? Photograph the pages or upload a spreadsheet, check every name and amount yourself, then start from the balances you already have. Nothing is saved until you approve it. On paid plans.
Also built in
- AI Photo Stock Reader — Photograph your handwritten stock list and the items, prices and quantities are read into a list you check line by line. Nothing is added until you approve it. On paid plans.
- 1-Tap 5-Language Udhar — On paid plans, send WhatsApp payment reminders in Odia, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali or English with one tap.
- Returns & Exchange — Take goods back with a proper credit note, or swap them for something else in one go — the difference is worked out, the stock goes back on the shelf, and your profit stays right.
- Orders board — A cake for 5 pm tomorrow or a 200-page binding — booked with an advance, due, delivered, billed.
- Day Close & Cash Count — At closing, count the cash in your drawer, with the cash you opened with, and see at once whether it matches what the day’s sales say should be in it.
- Real profit — Your cost is kept on every line it sold, so the margin survives a price change. On paid plans.
- Screen lock — Lock the screen when the counter is left alone — unlock with your passcode.
GST
GST, honestly
What the bill gets right today, and what is not built yet — said here rather than discovered by your CA.
Built and correct
- CGST + SGST, split correctly for sales inside your own state
- A different GST rate on each item of one bill
- Inclusive (MRP) or exclusive — your choice, per bill
- Plain cash memos without a GSTIN — turn GST on later, nothing is lost
Not built yet
- Interstate (IGST) billing — not built yet
- HSN codes on the printed bill — not built yet
- GSTR-ready export or filing — not built yet; check with your CA if you sell across state lines
Built for your counter

Hundreds of small items, quick counter sales, and margins too thin to leave to a guess.

Paper khata vs StoreDesk
Why shops move off paper
Paper got your counter to where it is today. Here is what changes when you move the same ledger onto a screen.
| What happens at the counter | Paper notebook | StoreDesk App |
|---|---|---|
| Finding what you sold last month | Flip back through the pages and add it up by hand | Pick the dates — the total, the GST and the profit are already worked out — on paid plans |
| Knowing who still owes you | Depends on remembering, and on the customer remembering too | An exact list, oldest first, with how many days each one is overdue — on paid plans |
| Asking for money politely | A phone call or a visit, and both feel like an accusation | A WhatsApp message with the amount and the date, already written — on paid plans |
| Giving a proper GST bill | Hand-written, and the numbers have to match at filing time | A printable PDF with gapless invoice numbers and the tax split out |
| Two people billing at the same time | One notebook, so one person at a time | Your staff bill from their own login while you watch the day’s total — on paid plans |
| Damaged or expired goods | Thrown away, and the money quietly disappears from the month | Written off with a reason, valued at what you paid, and subtracted from profit |
| If the book is lost or spoiled | Everything in it is gone, with nothing to check against | The ledger is not a single notebook — it opens on any phone or computer you log in from |

Questions
Before you sign up
Is there a free GST billing software for a bookstore in India?
Yes. StoreDesk is free to start and runs in a browser on any PC, tablet or phone, with no installation. It produces GST invoices with gapless invoice numbers, printable PDFs and a shareable bill link.
Can I track udhar and khata for my customers?
Yes. StoreDesk keeps a khata for every customer covering bills, counter sales and orders taken on credit, and allocates part payments oldest-first. On the Pro plan it can also send a WhatsApp reminder for what is still owed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. StoreDesk is a hosted web app: it opens in a modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on a computer, tablet or phone, and there is nothing to download or update. If you like, add it to your phone's home screen or your computer's desktop and it opens in its own window — it is the same web app, not a separate one. It needs an internet connection, like any website.
Do I need a GST number to use it?
No. GST is optional per shop. You can raise plain cash memos without a GSTIN, and turn GST on later without losing any existing bills.
Does it handle interstate GST, multiple tax rates or GSTR filing?
Partly. A bill can carry a different GST rate on each item, split as CGST + SGST, which is correct for sales inside your own state. Interstate (IGST) billing and a GSTR-ready export are not built yet — check with your CA if you sell across state lines.
Can my staff use it without seeing everything?
Yes, on the paid plans. A staff login opens only the counter: it can ring up sales, take orders, take udhar payments and returns, and close the day. It cannot open reports, profit or expenses, or change your items, prices or settings — the server refuses those, not just the screen. Pro includes one staff login and Enterprise five; on Free only the owner signs in.
What happens on the Free plan after 30 days?
Nothing is deleted and nothing stops working — Free is not a trial, and you can bill on it for as long as you like. Your lists of bills, counter sales and orders show the last 30 days; your items, your customers and what each customer owes you stay complete, and a customer can still open an old bill from its link. Move to Pro and all of your history is back on screen.
Can I bring in my old khata or notebook?
Yes. On every plan, including Free, you can enter what each customer already owes as an opening balance on their card, one customer at a time. On the paid plans you can bring a whole notebook in at once — from a photo of its pages or from a spreadsheet — and your item list the same way. Nothing read from a photo is saved until you have checked it line by line.
Does it print on a thermal printer?
Yes, as a beta, on every plan, on a 2-inch (58 mm) or 3-inch (80 mm) receipt printer — and a preview shows exactly what will print first. You choose how the printer is connected: a USB cable, Bluetooth, a printer paired with the computer as a COM port, or the printer's own driver through the print dialog. USB, Bluetooth and COM port need Chrome or Edge on a computer or an Android phone, and a Bluetooth printer on a computer is paired in Windows or macOS settings first. The driver way works in any browser on a device where the printer is installed. Any printer can also print the bill as an A4 or A5 PDF. Printed bills and receipts are always in English, because receipt printers carry no Indian-language script.
Can a customer pay me by UPI from the bill?
Yes, once you add your shop's UPI ID in Settings. The bill PDF carries a scan-to-pay UPI QR for the amount still due, and the bill link you send on WhatsApp shows a Pay button that opens the customer's own UPI app. The money goes straight to your bank account — StoreDesk never touches it and takes no fee. UPI does not tell the app when money arrives, so check your own payment app before you mark the bill paid.
Is there a mobile app?
No, and you do not need one. On a phone StoreDesk is the same web page you use on a computer: open it in Chrome or Safari, sign in, and add it to your home screen if you want an icon. There is nothing to download from the Play Store or the App Store. An Android phone can print receipts from Chrome, as the thermal printer answer above says.
Does it work offline?
No — StoreDesk does not bill offline. A bill gets its number from our server, so making one needs the internet. What is safe is the sale you are typing: if the connection drops, the lines stay on the screen and survive a reload, and the sale is sent the moment the internet is back, without being saved twice.
Which shops is StoreDesk for?
Shops that sell things they can count: books, stationery, print and xerox, clothing, footwear, gifts, cosmetics and perfume, and bakeries — and hardware and cement sold by the bag or the piece, and mobile repair counters. Stock is counted in whole units, and a product sold in fixed sizes — size M, a 1 kg cake — is added once with its sizes. It is not built for a shop that weighs or cuts an arbitrary amount, such as loose grocery, sweets by weight or fabric by the metre, or for chemists and restaurants.
Can I lock the screen at the counter?
Yes, on every plan. Lock the screen when the counter is left alone — unlock with your passcode. Turn it on in Settings; a staff login unlocks with its own password.
