Counter billing
One screen: search products, cart, customer, cash or bank payment. Amount fills from the total; credit sale is a single switch when they pay later.
Shop billing app — GST at the counter
Counter billing for shops, sweet shops, and busy counters
Counter billing (POS) for rush hours — tap, pay, print. Full tax invoice when you need every line.
Whether you run a sweet shop, kirana, hardware counter, or wholesale desk, your team needs speed — tap products, take cash or UPI, print, next customer. Simple Bills is easy billing software on one screen: billing, payment, stock, and GST. Sell by weight? Decimal qty (kg/g) is built in. When you need detail, the full invoice screen is still there.
The daily headache we fix
Invoices in one notebook, UPI screenshots in WhatsApp, credit customers in your head — then month-end panic about who still owes money.
GST invoices in minutes
Create bills with products, discounts, and tax. Direct print or share — same data flows to your books.
Draft bill
Send a formal quote with draft numbering and a customer PDF. Stock and ledger stay untouched until you convert to a tax invoice.
Record payments when money lands
Partial or full payment against invoices — including when the customer deducts TDS. Customer account updates with no duplicate entry.
Return bill without mess
Return bills restore stock and adjust what the customer owes. Returns stay linked to the original sale.
Warranty replacement
