Vyapar

GST billing and accounting for Indian small businesses

Indian small businesses use Vyapar for billing and accounting under the country's tax on goods and services. The app works on mobile and desktop, online and offline, and is meant for the kind of business that sits at a counter all day: neighbourhood shops, growing manufacturers and others in the small and medium segment. The site says it has support for local languages and describes itself as trusted by 1.5 crore Indian businesses, which is the vendor's figure.

Invoicing and tax compliance

The core job is creating GST invoices quickly, using ready invoice formats, and sharing them on WhatsApp, by email or in print. The app also supports estimates, automated bill numbering, discount and tax handling, e-invoice and e-way bill creation, and GST reports so that an owner can stay compliant with the tax law. Payments can be recorded in cash, UPI, card or bank transfer, and each sale updates the records on its own.

Stock and money owed

Inventory tracking sits alongside the billing. Owners can check stock while travelling, and the app follows unpaid invoices and sends payment reminders. The older site text adds that payments can be collected online directly.

A day in the shop

The vendor structures its pitch as a working day. In the morning an owner checks stock on the way to the shop and finds the billing system already synced. During busy hours sales staff create bills on their own logins, with role-based access that limits what each person sees. If the internet goes down in the afternoon, offline billing keeps the queue moving and the data syncs when the connection returns. At close of day the data has been backed up to Google Drive through automatic cloud backups.

Mobile and desktop together

Cloud sync lets the same business be managed from a phone or a computer, whether the owner is at a supplier's warehouse or away from work. The vendor also says the app helps keep data secure and records accurate, with errors reduced by automatic calculation.
