Billing Software for Footwear Shops
Barcode-tagged stock for every size and colour, fast billing and exchanges, and the right GST rate on every pair.
Common challenges for footwear shops
Size and colour combinations
One style in eight sizes and three colours is 24 items to track.
Broken size runs
Missing sizes in a style mean lost sales, even when the shelf looks full.
Exchanges for size
Size exchanges are routine and must keep stock right.
GST by price
Footwear up to ₹2,500 a pair is taxed at 5%, above that at 18%.

Footwear retail: stock and GST tips
Code every size and colour
Give each size and colour of a style its own item code, such as SH-BLK-42 for a black shoe in size 42, and print barcode tags with our free barcode generator. Scanning the tag bills the exact pair and keeps size-wise stock right.
GST on footwear (from 22 September 2025)
| Sale value per pair | GST rate |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹2,500 | 5% |
| Above ₹2,500 | 18% |
The threshold moved from ₹1,000 to ₹2,500. The rate depends on the value of each pair after discount, so the final selling price decides the rate. Source: PIB: 56th GST Council recommendations.
Watch size runs, not just totals
Check top styles for missing sizes every week and reorder the sizes that sell first, usually the middle sizes. A style with only extreme sizes left is effectively out of stock.
Clear old stock before the season turns
Use your sales history to spot styles that have stopped selling and plan offers early.
