If your account already has a store registered to it (for example, you’re
adding a second device), BillBasket offers to open that existing store
instead of creating a new one — you’ll only be asked to set a PIN for this
device.
Understanding the fields
Country — sets which tax system and currency your store uses (for example, GST + ₹ for India, VAT + ৳ for Bangladesh, VAT + रू for Nepal). This choice is used immediately to pick the right label for the tax field below, and to seed your store’s starting tax rates — changing country later isn’t a simple edit, so pick the country you actually trade in. Language — the display language for the whole app. You can change this anytime afterward in Settings, so it’s safe to pick your best guess now. Store/Business name — printed on every bill; if you signed in with an account that already has a business name on file, this is pre-filled for you but stays editable per store. Address, phone, email — optional business details that also appear on printed bills. The phone number is formatted according to the country you picked in step 1. Tax ID — the field label changes based on your country (GSTIN for India, PAN/VAT Number for Nepal, BIN for Bangladesh, and so on) — this is why country is asked first. Leaving it blank is fine; you can fill it in later from Settings. Admin PIN (6 digits, entered twice) — a separate PIN from your regular store/login PIN. Once set, it locks Settings, Employees, and product add/edit/delete behind this PIN, so staff can bill customers without being able to change store setup. Both PIN fields must match exactly or setup won’t proceed — see Admin PIN & permissions. Activate your license — only relevant if you signed in with a BillBasket account rather than starting a free trial; if your plan already has a store registered, adopting that existing store skips straight to the PIN step since your business name, country, and currency are inherited from your account.See it on your device

Step 1 asks for your country and language — this picks GST/₹ for India
(as shown below) versus another country’s tax system and currency, and
sets which language the rest of the app displays in.Step 2 collects your store’s name, address, phone, and email — these
print on every bill you generate, so they’re worth getting right the
first time.Step 3’s field label depends on the country you picked in step 1 — since
this store is in India, it asks for a GSTIN specifically, with the
correct format shown as a hint.Step 4 sets the Admin PIN — a 6-digit code entered twice to confirm — that
later locks Settings, Employees, and product editing to keep staff
billing without touching store setup.Once you tap Done, you land on an empty dashboard with a “Get
started” checklist — add your first product, make your first bill, set
up your bill print, and add a customer — that walks you through the
remaining steps in order.
Try it: Sharma Kirana Store
1
Choose your country and language
Rajesh Sharma picks India so BillBasket applies GST and ₹, and sets
the display language to Hindi since that’s what his staff are most
comfortable with.
2
Enter your store details
He enters “Sharma Kirana Store” as the business name, along with his
shop’s address and phone number, so they print correctly on every bill.
3
Enter your tax ID
Since Rajesh picked India, the field is labeled GSTIN — he enters his
shop’s GSTIN. If he didn’t have one handy, he could leave it blank and
add it later from Settings.
4
Set your Admin PIN
Rajesh sets a 6-digit Admin PIN and enters it again to confirm, so later
only he can get into Settings, Employees, and product editing — his
staff member Suresh can keep billing without needing this PIN.
