An invoice is the core of daily billing in BillBasket — everything else (adding items, discounts, tax, payment, printing) happens inside one. Every invoice you save is stored permanently, so you can always reopen, edit, or reprint it later from your invoice list.

​
The pieces of an invoice

​
How the pieces depend on each other

Picking a customer isn’t required to start a bill, but it unlocks two things that don’t apply to a walk-in sale: credit as a payment method (see Credit accounts), and, where the customer has more than one registered tax number, a tax branch picker at billing time (see Per-customer tax branches). The invoice’s final total is what payment is collected against — so any discount or tax change you make has to happen before you take payment, not after.

A Sale in progress: the customer is selected at the top (with her balance due shown), one product line item has been added below, and the invoice number, date, and time are auto-filled. The Subtotal on the right updates as items are added — this invoice is ready for Save & Print once you’re happy with the line items.
1

Start a new invoice

From the dashboard or the Billing tab, tap New Invoice.
2

Pick a customer, or skip it for a walk-in sale

3

Add products or services

Search by name, category, or scan a barcode to add items to the bill.
4

Apply discounts and tax

Adjust quantity, price, or discount per line, or apply a bill-level discount. Tax is calculated automatically based on your product and customer tax settings.
5

Take payment

Choose cash, card, UPI, credit, or split the payment across methods.
6

Print or share the bill

Print to a receipt/label printer, save as PDF, or share directly with the customer.
Every invoice is saved the moment you save it — you can reopen, edit, or reprint it later from your invoice list.
