01The problem

Your invoicing lives in three places — a desktop Tally that only opens on one PC, an Excel sheet for stock, and a WhatsApp chat where you send a blurry photo of the bill.

Indian businesses don't need a heavier ERP — they need GST invoicing that's fast, correct, and works from a phone. Capturo Invoice does sales and purchase invoices, keeps inventory and party ledgers in sync, generates e-invoice IRNs and e-way bills when you cross the threshold, and exports clean GSTR-1/3B + Tally JV so your CA stops chasing you. Every invoice can go out as a branded PDF on WhatsApp with a UPI QR — so you get paid the same day, not next month.

02Inside Capturo Invoice

Every module that ships. Minor to minor.

12 modules out of the box. No hidden tier gates on basic functionality. No half-built features waiting on a roadmap.

GST sales & purchase invoices

Tax-compliant invoices with CGST/SGST/IGST auto-split by place of supply, HSN/SAC, multiple rates per invoice, additional charges, round-off, and per-firm per-FY atomic invoice numbering (never a gap).

  • Sales invoice, purchase invoice, credit/debit note, quotation, proforma, delivery challan
  • Inter-state vs intra-state tax auto-detected from state codes
  • Reverse-charge, cess, and discount handling built in

E-invoice (IRN) + E-way bill ready

GSP-partner integration for IRN generation + signed QR, and e-way bills with transporter details — sandbox and production modes. Turn it on when your turnover crosses the threshold.

Inventory & items

Stock tracking with HSN, UQC units, low-stock view, barcode scan on the invoice line, and item import. Stock moves as you bill — no separate spreadsheet.

Party ledgers (customers & suppliers)

GSTIN-validated party records, billing/shipping addresses, opening balances, and a running ledger of every invoice + payment so you always know who owes what.

Payments & outstanding

Record full or partial payments across cash, UPI, bank, cheque, card. Apply one payment across multiple invoices. Outstanding report shows aged receivables at a glance.

WhatsApp invoice PDF + UPI QR

Send the rendered invoice as a PDF document straight to the customer on WhatsApp, with a UPI QR on the page. Customer scans, pays, done — no gateway fees, no chasing.

  • Falls back to a free wa.me link if WhatsApp Business API isn't set up
  • PDF cached + served via secure presigned URL

Counter / quick billing

A fast point-of-sale style billing screen for retail counters — scan, add, take payment, print or share. Built for speed at the till, not data entry.

GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B + Tally export

One-click GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries plus a Tally journal-voucher export. Hand your CA a clean file instead of a shoebox of bills.

Returns & credit notes

Issue sales returns and credit/debit notes linked to the original invoice, with tax reversed correctly and the party ledger updated automatically.

Multi-firm, multi-tenant

Run several firms (different GSTINs) under one login, each with its own invoice series, branding, and bank details. Row-level tenant isolation keeps every firm's data separate.

Audit log

Every invoice edit, cancel, and payment is recorded with who-and-when. Optimistic concurrency stops two devices clobbering the same invoice.

Email + reminders

Email invoices and payment reminders with the PDF attached. Outstanding follow-ups go out without you remembering to send them.

03How it works

Day in the life. Step by step.

Real flows from real customers. Read the one closest to your role; the others give you a sense of how the whole platform fits together.

Owner flow

Create + send an invoice in under a minute

  1. 1Pick the party (or add one — GSTIN auto-fills name + state)
  2. 2Add items by name or barcode scan; tax + totals compute live
  3. 3Save — the invoice number is assigned atomically for the FY
  4. 4Tap 'Send PDF on WhatsApp' — customer gets the PDF + UPI QR
  5. 5Customer scans the QR and pays; you record it in two taps
Accountant flow

  4. 4Hand it to your CA or upload to the GST portal
Storekeeper flow

Purchase + stock in one step

  2. 2Stock for each item increases automatically
  3. 3Supplier ledger updates with the payable
  4. 4Low-stock view flags what to reorder next

04Why this and not the other one

What makes it different. Specifically.

Built for a phone, not a Windows PC

Tally and most desktop billing software assume one machine in the back office. Capturo Invoice is cloud-first and mobile-friendly — bill from the counter, the warehouse, or a customer's shop.

Get paid, not just billed

Most invoicing tools stop at the PDF. We put a UPI QR on every unpaid invoice and send it on WhatsApp, so payment happens in the same conversation as the bill.

Money is exact, always

Every amount is computed in fixed-point (Decimal128) on the server — never floating-point. Your totals, tax, and round-off match to the paisa, every time.

Your CA's life gets easier

GSTR-1/3B summaries and a Tally JV export mean filing is a download, not a reconstruction. No more end-of-month bill hunts.

05Built right

Engineering that earns. Audit-grade by default.

The boring parts done well — multi-tenancy, audit trail, compliance, real-time updates, secure storage. So the interesting parts can stay interesting.

Tenant-isolated by default

Every query is row-scoped to your tenant via an AsyncLocalStorage Mongoose plugin — no API call can leak another firm's data. Enterprise plans can opt into a dedicated database.

GSP-ready compliance

E-invoice IRN + signed QR and e-way bill flows are wired for a GST Suvidha Provider, with sandbox and production modes so you can test before you go live.

Cloud + queue architecture

Fastify + MongoDB + Redis/BullMQ. Heavy work (PDF render, exports, bulk email) runs on a worker so the app stays instant even at month-end volume.

06Questions buyers actually ask

FAQ

Is this an alternative to Vyapar, Zoho Books or TallyPrime?
Yes — Capturo Invoice covers GST invoicing, inventory, party ledgers, payments and GST returns like those tools, but it's cloud-first, mobile-friendly, and sends invoices as a WhatsApp PDF with a UPI QR. No per-PC license, no annual lock-in.
Does it support e-invoice (IRN) and e-way bill?
Yes. IRN generation with the signed QR and e-way bill creation are built in via a GSP partner, with sandbox and production modes. Switch them on when your turnover requires it.
Can I send invoices on WhatsApp?
Yes. With WhatsApp Business API configured, invoices go out as a PDF document with a UPI QR. Without it, the app falls back to a free wa.me link you tap to send yourself.
Can my accountant get GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B?
One click. The app builds GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries and a Tally journal-voucher export you can hand to your CA or upload to the GST portal.
Can I run more than one company?
Yes — multiple firms (different GSTINs) under one login, each with its own invoice series, branding and bank details, fully isolated from each other.
Is my data secure and separated from other businesses?
Every database query is automatically scoped to your tenant, so no request can read another business's data. Enterprise plans can opt into a dedicated database.
