Billing Software for Garment & Clothing Stores
Barcode-tagged stock, fast billing and an online catalogue for new arrivals, for clothing, textile and boutique stores.
Common challenges for garment & apparel stores
Many variants
The same style comes in several sizes and colours, each needing its own stock.
GST depends on price
Apparel GST is 5% or 18% depending on the sale value per piece.
Exchanges
Size exchanges and returns must update stock correctly.
Seasonal stock
Festive and seasonal stock left over at season-end ties up cash.

GST on garments and footwear (from 22 Sep 2025)
| Item | Sale value | GST rate |
|---|---|---|
| Apparel and clothing accessories | Up to ₹2,500 per piece | 5% |
| Apparel and clothing accessories | Above ₹2,500 per piece | 18% |
| Footwear | Up to ₹2,500 per pair | 5% |
| Footwear | Above ₹2,500 per pair | 18% |
The threshold moved from ₹1,000 to ₹2,500, and the higher rate for apparel moved from 12% to 18%. The rate depends on the sale value of each piece, so a discount can change the applicable rate. Your billing software should apply the rate on the final value.

Season-end stock
Review sell-through for each style a few weeks before season-end and plan offers early. Listing slow styles in your online store reaches buyers beyond your walk-ins.
