What gstPad is
gstPad combines GST billing, point-of-sale tools, inventory, barcode handling, accounting, and reporting for Indian shops. It creates tax invoices, bills of supply, and credit or debit notes in A4, A5, or thermal formats. Inventory can track batches, expiry, sizes, colours, serial numbers, and IMEI. Its AI entry feature reads bill lines, HSN, and tax from photographed vendor bills, PDFs, or Excel files. An integrated online store displays live items and sends customer orders into the same inventory. Invoices can be shared through WhatsApp or SMS with a UPI payment button. gstPad prepares GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data for reporting and upload to the government GST portal. Plans run on cloud or offline desktop licences, starting at ₹249/mo, with a 14-day trial. Cloud plans include realtime sync, while higher tiers add users, companies, e-Invoice, e-way bill, permissions, backups, or POS payment devices. Prices exclude GST. The maker is based in Jassur, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India, and was founded in 2015.
