A focused choice for Indian retail businesses that need GST, POS and inventory tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
gstPad is billing and accounting software for Indian retail businesses, including pharmacies, restaurants, grocery stores, garment shops and electronics retailers. It brings together GST and non-GST invoices, touch POS billing, barcode scanning, inventory tracking, party ledgers, bill-wise payments and financial statements. Retailers can also prepare GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B return data, share invoices through WhatsApp or SMS, add UPI payment links, manage staff permissions and connect an online store to inventory. Access is available through browser-based cloud software and Windows software.
Pricing is structured around Cloud Standard and Cloud Premium. Cloud Standard costs INR 249 per month, INR 2999 per year, INR 4999 per 2 years or INR 6999 per 3 years. The monthly plan highlights browser access, realtime sync, 2 users and 1 company. Cloud Premium costs INR 333 per month, INR 3999 per year, INR 6699 per 2 years or INR 8999 per 3 years, with e-Invoice and e-way bill features, realtime sync, 3 users and 1 company highlighted on the monthly plan. A 14-day free trial is available, and listed prices exclude GST. The product is suited to businesses that prefer a paid retail system with longer billing options.
Its strongest area is the combination of transaction entry and stock control. Inventory can track batches, expiry dates, serial numbers and IMEI details, while AI/OCR purchase entry accepts images, PDFs or Excel files. Touch POS, barcode operations, salesperson commissions and payment sharing support day-to-day shop workflows. Businesses that need e-invoicing should choose Premium; those that only need core billing and inventory can consider Standard. gstPad is a better fit for Indian retailers than for teams seeking a broad multi-platform bookkeeping system, since its listed access centers on web and Windows software.
