Tailor billing software: GST bills, UPI and balances from the order
Billing software for tailors and boutiques — GST or plain bills made from the order, advance and balance, UPI QR, bills on WhatsApp and daily collections.

The short answer
Tailor billing software makes the bill from the order itself — customer, garments, stitching and extras — so nothing is typed twice. VirtueTailor makes GST bills with CGST and SGST (or plain bills for shops without GST), records the advance and balance, shows a UPI QR for the exact amount, shares the bill on WhatsApp and totals each day's collections.
Billing is the last step, so it is the one that slips
A handwritten bill book, tax worked out on a calculator, a balance promised for "next time". At month end the bills, the drawer and the UPI app all say different things.
The bill is already made when the garment is ready
- GST bills with CGST and SGST
- Plain bills when you are not GST-registered
- Advance at booking, balance at delivery
- UPI QR for the exact amount
- Bills shared on WhatsApp
- Who owes money, and daily collections
Why tailors need billing built into the order
In a stitching shop the price is fixed at booking, the advance is paid at booking, and the balance is paid weeks later at delivery. A separate billing app sees only the last moment and none of the history. When billing comes from the order, the advance is already there, the balance is already known, and the bill is one step.
What VirtueTailor's billing does
Prices on the order
Stitching, maggam, lining, hooks — each a line, with the total worked out for you.
Advance at booking
Taken by cash or UPI QR and recorded on the order.
Balance at hand-over
The screen shows what is due before the garment goes. If it leaves unpaid, it asks why — pays later, discount given, paid earlier.
GST or plain bill
A tax invoice with your GSTIN and CGST/SGST, or a plain bill with no GST. Set per branch.
Shared on WhatsApp
The customer gets the bill on her phone; you never reprint a lost one.
Seeing the money, not just the bills
- Daily collections — cash and UPI received today, to match with the drawer.
- Who owes money — every unpaid balance, largest first.
- Expenses — material, rent, staff pay, machine EMIs and outside job work.
- Profit by month — and an Excel export for your accountant.
