What is the best billing software for a retail or kirana store?
The best billing software for a retail or kirana store is a GST-ready tool that bills fast at the counter, keeps stock accurate, and produces clean GST returns at month end — without per-user fees as you add staff. 399Apps delivers this with two apps: Nidhi Books for GST billing and accounting, and Nidhi Inventory for barcode-driven stock across products and counters.
Shopkeepers usually look for one when handwritten bills and notebooks can no longer keep up with GST, when stock keeps running out (or piling up), or when they want to add a counter assistant without paying extra per user.
Retail pains → what 399Apps actually does
Every capability below ships today in Nidhi Books or Nidhi Inventory — no invented retail modules.
| What slows you down | What 399Apps does |
|---|---|
| Slow, error-prone counter billing | Nidhi Books issues GST-compliant invoices with HSN/SAC, CGST/SGST/IGST splitting and a UPI QR on the PDF — quick to raise at the counter. |
| Stock runs out or dead stock piles up | Nidhi Inventory tracks on-hand stock per location and raises reorder PO drafts automatically from your min/max levels. |
| Hundreds of SKUs and barcodes | Barcode-first workflows — any USB/Bluetooth scanner that emits keystrokes works, with SKU-level tracking across the catalogue. |
| GST returns are a month-end scramble | Nidhi Books exports GSTR-1 (B2B, B2C, HSN summary) and a GSTR-3B summary as CA-ready CSV. |
| Customer dues / khata to track | Customer ledgers and AR Aging buckets show exactly who owes what and for how long. |
| Adding a counter assistant costs more | Unlimited users are included — staff and your accountant share the same books with no per-seat fee. |
