“I can’t enter all my items”
You don’t have to. Type the price on the Quick bill keypad; name the line only if you want.
For small shops, general and kirana stores
Simple billing app for small shops
What is the simplest billing app for a small shop?
If you want printed and WhatsApp bills without setting up stock or barcodes, use a billing app with a calculator keypad. In Tap & Bill you keep regular items as tiles, type anything else with Quick bill, show your UPI QR with the exact amount, put the bill on udhaar for regular customers, and print or WhatsApp it. GST is optional, so shops without a GSTIN give a simple bill.
What small shops tell us
Regular customers take udhaar
Keep udhaar on the bill, see who owes what, collect in parts and remind on WhatsApp.
Everyone pays by UPI
Your UPI QR with the exact amount on screen and on the receipt.
Loose items by weight
Type the rupee amount: “Sugar 1.5 kg” at ₹68. Quantities are whole numbers.
Starter items loaded for kirana shops
Pick “kirana” when you sign up and these tiles are ready. Change names and prices, add more, or bill everything on Quick bill:

Who this is for
Gift and stationery shops, mobile accessory shops, general stores, small kirana shops, sweet and dry-fruit counters, and tailors who want a printed or WhatsApp bill without running an inventory system.
A worked bill
| Line | How it was added | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Atta (1 kg) × 2 | Tile, tapped twice | ₹90 |
| Sugar 1.5 kg | Quick bill: typed ₹68 and the name | ₹68 |
| Soap × 1 | Tile | ₹40 |
| Item 4 | Quick bill: typed ₹25, no name | ₹25 |
| Total | ₹223 |
The customer pays ₹100 in cash and puts ₹123 on udhaar with a split payment. The bill prints, the ₹123 shows on their account, and the cash total for the day goes up by ₹100.
Bill with or without GST
| Shop without GSTIN | GST-registered shop | |
|---|---|---|
| Bill heading | Simple bill | TAX INVOICE |
| GST lines | None | CGST + SGST split, HSN per item |
| Customer GSTIN | Not needed | Optional, for B2B |
| For your CA | Sales CSV | Sales CSV + GST report (B2B/B2C, HSN summary, credit notes) |
Composition dealers can’t charge GST; check the bill wording with your CA. See GST billing.
What Tap & Bill does not do
- No stock or inventory count and no barcode scanning. If you need them, choose an inventory billing app.
- No weighing-scale link or decimal quantity. Type the rupee amount for loose items.
- No full khata ledger: udhaar comes from bills, not from separate entries for loans or suppliers.
- No iPhone app. Use an Android phone, or any computer or tablet browser.
What your customer and you see
Questions from small shops & kirana
Can I give a bill without a GST number?
Yes. If your shop is not GST-registered, keep GST tax invoice off and Tap & Bill prints a simple bill with no GST lines.
Do I have to enter all my items first?
No. Bill everything on the Quick bill keypad if you like. Add tiles later for the items you sell most.
Can I bill loose items by weight?
Not by weight: quantity is a whole number. Type the rupee amount for the weight sold, for example “Rice 2.5 kg” at ₹150.
Does it keep udhaar?
Yes, on bills. Choose Udhaar as the payment, see everyone who owes in the “Udhaar due” list, collect part or full, and send a WhatsApp reminder with your UPI ID. It is not a full ledger app.
Does it scan barcodes?
No. Tap & Bill has no barcode scanning or stock. It is made for fast counter billing without setup.
Which printer should I buy?
A 58 mm Bluetooth thermal printer for billing from the phone, or an 80 mm printer for a counter with GST bills. Read our printer guide and tell us the model before you buy.
