TripleBill for Stationery & book shop
Stationery & Book Shop Billing Software
A stationery shop sells hundreds of small things, from pens and refills to chart paper and geometry boxes, plus books that change every academic year. For most of the year the counter is calm; at the start of the school year it is a queue of parents with booklists. Then there are the schools and offices that want a quotation first and pay on credit. TripleBill handles the counter, the shelves and the accounts in one place.

What gets in the way
- A school-season rush where every parent has a different booklist
- Hundreds of small items without barcodes, priced from a list taped to the counter
- Pens sold one at a time to students and by the box to offices
- Schools and offices that ask for a quotation, then buy on credit and pay months later
- Books, notebooks and art supplies with different GST rates on the same bill
- Last year’s textbooks sitting unsold on the top shelf
A counter ready for the booklist queue
Scan books and branded items with a USB scanner or the phone camera. For loose items with no barcode, print your own labels with the name and price, or put them on photo tiles filtered by category. When a parent is still looking for the last two books, hold the bill and serve the next person.
Take cash, UPI or card, split across one bill if needed, and print a 58 or 80 mm receipt with a UPI QR. In the season you can open a second counter on another computer or an Android phone, and sales by counter shows what each one took.
- Barcode scanning with a USB scanner or the phone camera
- Your own barcode labels for unbarcoded items
- Held bills for parents still choosing
- Split payments and thermal receipts with a UPI QR
Hundreds of small items, each in its place
Put every item on a rack and shelf. The rack shows at billing, rack labels can be printed for the shelves, and a stock-take sheet per rack lets you count one section at a time. Low-stock alerts flag refills and notebooks before they run out, and the dead and slow-moving stock report finds last year’s books before they cost you another season.
Import your item list from Excel, or change prices for many items on one screen in the bulk update grid when a publisher or distributor changes rates. Each item keeps its own HSN code and GST rate, so a bill with books, notebooks and art supplies works out tax line by line.
- Racks and shelves with rack labels
- Stock-take sheet and stock-by-rack report
- Low-stock alerts and dead-stock report
- Excel import and bulk price update
- HSN code and GST rate per item
Retail price for students, wholesale for the box
Each item has a retail price, a wholesale price and the MRP. Set a minimum quantity and the wholesale price applies by itself: a customer who buys ten registers gets the lower rate without the cashier having to remember it. A whole sale can also be switched to wholesale pricing for a trade buyer.
A pen sold singly and a box of the same pens are two items in TripleBill, because one item does not yet convert between box and piece. A default discount can be set on an item, so a season discount is applied every time it is billed.
- Retail, wholesale and MRP per item
- Wholesale price from a minimum quantity
- Retail / wholesale switch on a sale
- Default discount per item
Schools and offices on credit
A school asking for prices gets a quotation from TripleBill; once it is accepted, convert it into an invoice with the school’s GSTIN if it has one. Larger orders can be booked as a sale order, sent with a delivery challan and then invoiced. Credit sales sit on the customer’s account, a credit limit stops an account going too far, and party groups let you see all schools or all offices together.
Share a statement link or a payment reminder on WhatsApp with one tap, and the receivables ageing report shows who is 30, 60 or 90 days late. An office that takes the same supplies every month can be put on a recurring invoice schedule. Each invoice can credit a salesman, and the sales-by-salesperson report shows who brought in which accounts.
- Quotations converted into invoices
- Sale orders and delivery challans
- Credit limit, party groups and receivables ageing
- Statements and reminders on WhatsApp
- Recurring invoices for monthly orders

GST and the books, done underneath
Every bill posts to real double-entry books as you sell: sales, GST output tax, cash, bank and the customer ledger. Purchases do the same on the input side, so GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and the HSN summary are ready for any month and your accountant gets a trial balance that balances.
Not built yet
We would rather you know before you sign up:
- Alternate units on one item (a box of pens that converts to pieces); the box and the single pen are separate items
- School kits that sell as one item and reduce each book’s stock; on the retail counter each book is billed as its own line
- E-invoice IRN generation on the NIC portal
- An iOS app (the web app works in an iPhone browser)
How to bill a school order in TripleBill
- 1
Send a quotation
Under Sales, create a quotation for the school with the items, quantities and prices, and print it or download it as a PDF.
- 2
Convert when accepted
When the school agrees, convert the quotation into an invoice; the school’s place of supply and GSTIN set the GST.
- 3
Deliver on credit
Print the invoice to go with the goods; the unpaid amount sits on the school’s account as outstanding against its credit limit.
- 4
Collect payment
Share a statement or reminder link on WhatsApp, and record each payment against the invoice when it arrives.
Frequently asked questions
Can I scan the ISBN barcode on books?
Yes. A book’s ISBN barcode is an EAN-13 code. Save it as the item’s barcode once and a USB scanner or the phone camera finds the book at the counter.
How do I sell pens by the piece and by the box?
Set up the single pen and the box as two items, each with its own price and stock. If you want quantity pricing on one item instead, set a wholesale price and the minimum quantity at which it applies.
Can schools and offices buy on credit?
Yes. Bill them against their account, set a credit limit, and track the outstanding and the receivables ageing. Statements and reminders go out on WhatsApp with one tap from your own number.
Will it handle different GST rates for books and stationery?
Yes. Each item has its own HSN code and GST rate, including 0%, and a bill mixing them works out tax per line. GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and the HSN summary figures are ready each month.
Can I bill from a phone during the school rush?
Yes. The Android app (a direct APK download for now) bills with camera scanning, keeps billing offline and syncs the sales when the connection is back.
How do I find books that are not selling?
The dead and slow-moving stock report lists items that have not sold recently, and stock by rack shows where they sit, so you can return them or clear them before the next season.
What does it cost?
Billing, quotations, stock, barcode billing, credit, purchases, GST reports and the books are on Starter (₹299/month, ₹2,999/year or ₹6,999 for 3 years). Rack management and advanced reports such as receivables ageing are on Pro (₹499/month, ₹4,999/year or ₹9,999 for 3 years). Every new business gets a 7-day free trial with everything unlocked.
