Is there a free version of the application?

Yes, GST Pro offers a free plan that allows you to generate and download GST invoices for the first 50 orders received in your Shopify store each month.

The free plan is designed for low volume stores that need basic invoice generation without automation, bulk actions, or GST reports.

Best for

  • Shopify stores with up to 50 orders per month

  • Merchants testing GST Pro before upgrading

  • Development and staging stores

  • New or low volume Indian merchants needing basic GST invoices

Not ideal for

  • B2B merchants

  • Stores with more than 50 monthly orders

  • Merchants requiring GST reports (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B)

  • Stores needing invoice automation or bulk downloads

What the free plan supports

  • Generates GST invoices for the first 50 Shopify orders each month

  • Uses Shopify order sequence to determine invoice eligibility

  • Allows unlimited re-printing and re-downloading of eligible invoices

  • Automatically resets eligibility on the 1st day of every month

  • Free for lifetime on Shopify development stores

How the 50-Order Free Plan Limit Works

  • The GST Pro free plan is based on order sequence, not print activity.

  • Each new Shopify order consumes one invoice slot

  • If your store receives 100 orders in a month, invoices can be generated only for orders 1–50

  • Orders beyond the 50th order cannot be unlocked for invoice generation until the next monthly reset

Important clarifications

  • Re-printing an eligible invoice does not affect the limit

  • Test or dummy orders created during setup count toward the 50 orders

  • If a previous month had more than 50 orders, invoices for order numbers beyond 50 remain restricted

Simple way to think about it

  • The free plan works like a monthly allowance of 50 invoice unlocks:

  • Each order uses one unlock

  • Once unlocked, the invoice can be reused forever

  • Unlocks reset on the 1st of every month

What the Free Plan Does Not Include

  • Automatic emailing of invoices

  • Bulk invoice download or bulk printing

  • GST reports such as GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B

  • Advanced B2B features (GSTIN capture, company name fields)

  • Manual invoice template code customization

  • Thermal printer-specific formats (e.g., 4×6)
