Which billing software should my shop use?

For most Indian shops — kirana and supermarkets, clothing and footwear, mobile and electronics, jewellers, hardware and paint, restaurants and wholesalers — Bilzy covers billing, stock, udhaar and GST on Android and Windows for ₹999 a year, with a free plan to start. For a medical store, a hospital pharmacy or a pharma distributor, Bilzy Pharmacy adds batch-wise stock with expiry, the Schedule H1 register and a list of over 3 lakh medicines, from ₹699 a year.

Both work without internet and sync when the line is back, and 10,000+ bills have been made on Bilzy. Find your shop below for a step-by-step guide.

Shop billing guides

How to bill, what GST applies, and a checklist for each trade.

Kirana store

How to Make a Bill in a Kirana Store — and the Software That Makes It Quick

Loose atta by the kilo, biscuits by barcode, a regular customer on udhaar — all on one bill, while the queue keeps moving.

Supermarket

Supermarket Billing Software: Fast Checkout on Every Counter, One Stock Behind Them

Three counters, a weekend rush and a buy-ten-get-one offer — without a single item sold twice.

Clothing store

Clothing Store Billing Software: Sizes, Colours and GST Without the Mix-ups

One design, five sizes, three colours — and a customer who wants to swap a medium for a large next week.

Boutique & saree shop

Boutique and Saree Shop Billing: Orders, Advances and Stitching Charges on One Bill

An order taken in March, an advance in cash, a blouse to stitch, fall and pico to add — and a delivery in May that remembers all of it.

Footwear shop

Footwear Shop Billing Software: Every Size in Stock, Every Pair on the Bill

Size 7 sold out, size 10 gathering dust, and a customer back with the wrong fit — a shoe shop is a size problem as much as a sales one.

Mobile phone shop

Mobile Shop Billing Software: IMEI on Every Bill, Warranty on Every Phone

A phone comes back after eight months with a dead screen. Who sold it, when, from which supplier, and is it still in warranty? That answer should take ten seconds.

Electronics & appliances shop

Electronics and Appliance Shop Billing: Serial Numbers, Warranties and Deliveries, Sorted

An AC sold in April, delivered in May, and back with a complaint in August. Serial number, warranty date and delivery challan should be one search away.

Jewellery shop

Jewellery Shop Billing Software: Weight, Purity, Making Charges and Old Gold on One Bill

Today’s 22K rate, a necklace with stones, making and wastage, and the customer’s old bangles to take in — the bill has to be right to the milligram and the rupee.

Hardware & paint shop

Hardware and Paint Shop Billing: Thousands of Items, Loose Pieces and Contractor Credit

Screws by the piece and by the box, paint by the tin, a plumber on credit, and a rack nobody remembers — a hardware counter is the hardest counter in the market.

Building materials

Building Material Dealer Billing: Bags, Trucks, E-way Bills and Contractor Credit

Four hundred bags of cement on a truck, an e-way bill to generate, a contractor who pays when the job ends — and a site that needs it all by noon.

Stationery & book shop

Stationery and Book Shop Billing: Nil-GST and 18% Items on One Clean Bill

Notebooks at nil GST, pens at 18%, a school’s list of two hundred kits, and a June rush that decides the whole year.

Cosmetics & beauty store

Cosmetics and Beauty Store Billing: Expiry Dates, Offers and the Right GST

A cream that expired on the shelf, a buy-two-get-one nobody applied, and shampoo that dropped to 5% GST — beauty retail is detail work.

Bakery & sweet shop

Bakery and Sweet Shop Billing: Sweets by Weight, Cake Orders and the Festival Rush

Half a kilo of kaju katli, a birthday cake for Saturday with ₹500 advance, and a Diwali queue out the door — all before lunch.

Restaurant & cafe

Restaurant and Cafe Billing: Orders, a KOT for the Kitchen, and Stock by Recipe

A table of six, a kitchen that needs the order now, and a bill that must be right the moment they ask for it — while the next table waits.

Dairy, fruit & vegetable shop

Dairy, Fruit and Vegetable Shop Billing: By Weight, on the Phone, With Monthly Accounts

Milk every morning to eighty homes, paneer by the gram, vegetables weighed in a hurry — and a month-end account every family wants to see.

Wholesaler & distributor

Wholesale and Distribution Billing: Party Rates, Salesman Orders and Credit Under Control

Retailers on credit, a salesman on his beat, a scheme from the company and a truck leaving at six — distribution runs on rates, orders and dues.

Auto parts shop

Auto Parts Shop Billing: Part Numbers, Racks and Garage Credit Without the Chaos

A mechanic calls for a clutch plate by part number, the rack is somewhere at the back, and his garage already owes you for last week.

Furniture shop

Furniture Shop Billing: Quotations, Advances and Deliveries That Match the Bill

A sofa set chosen on Sunday, ₹10,000 advance, delivery with fitting on Thursday, and the balance paid over the next two months.

Fertiliser, seed & pesticide shop

Fertiliser, Seed and Pesticide Shop Billing: Batches, Bags and a Farmer’s Season of Credit

Sowing on credit, payment at harvest, pesticide batches with expiry dates and company schemes on every bag — an agri input shop keeps a village’s season in its books.

Pharmacy billing guides

For medical stores, hospital pharmacies, distributors and more.

Medical store

How to Make a Bill in a Medical Store — Batches, Loose Tablets and the H1 Register

A strip cut for three tablets, the batch that expires first, an H1 antibiotic that needs the doctor’s name — and a patient who wants to pay half by UPI.

Pharma distributor

Pharma Distributor Billing: Trade Rates, Firm Parties and Expiry Returns Done Right

Forty chemists on credit, a company scheme of ten plus one, a buyer’s drug licence to print, and a carton of expired stock coming back every month.

Hospital & clinic pharmacy

Hospital and Clinic Pharmacy Software: Every Prescription Traced to a Doctor

Prescriptions from six doctors, a night shift at the counter, H1 antibiotics going out every hour, and a superintendent who wants the register on demand.

Ayurvedic & homeopathic store

Ayurvedic and Homeopathic Store Billing: Your Own Remedies, Batches and 5% GST

Dilutions in dozens of potencies, tonics from small makers, a few allopathic medicines on the side, and regulars who come back every month.

Generic medicine store

Generic Medicine Store Billing: Low Prices, Thin Margins and Stock That Must Move

Prices far below the brands, a margin counted in rupees, and a customer who asks for the salt their doctor wrote by brand name.

Stories

Why good software should not be a luxury for the shops that run India.

Every shop

Business Software Should Not Be a Luxury. Every Shop Deserves It.

The corner shop and the chain store work the same hours, carry the same risk and pay the same GST. Only one of them was ever expected to afford good software.

Every shop

From the Khata Notebook to Billing Software, Without Losing What Made It Work

Your father’s khata knew every family on the street. It could not tell him what was running out, what he was owed in total, or what the tax return would ask.

Choosing software

Low Price Is Not Low Power: How to Judge Shop Billing Software Fairly

“It is cheap, so it must be basic” is the most expensive assumption a shopkeeper can make. Judge software on your counter, not on its price tag.

Chemists

The Small-Town Chemist Deserves the Same Software as the Big Chain

In a small town the chemist is often the first help a family reaches at night. The software behind that counter should not depend on the size of the town.
