An electronics and appliance shop sells high-value items such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and fans, alongside a shelf of low-value accessories like cables, adapters, batteries and bulbs. Bills are large, customers pay by card, UPI, cash or a mix, and a single missing unit costs a lot. This guide compares the billing software Indian electronics shops most often shortlist, so you can choose on price and fit.
Quick answer
For most electronics shops, pick software that handles model variants, prints barcode labels for accessories, takes card, UPI and split payments, tracks distributor purchases and gives GST reports by HSN. RichPOS does all of this for ₹199/month (₹2,000/year) with a 30-day free trial. Vyapar is a low-cost desktop option, Marg ERP fits shops already on a desktop ERP, Zoho Inventory suits shops that also sell online, and Khatabook is a free credit ledger, not a full billing counter.
What an electronics shop needs from billing software
- Models and variants: one product line in several sizes, capacities or colours, each with its own stock and price.
- Fast accessory billing: cables, batteries and bulbs scanned by barcode, not searched by hand.
- Every payment method: card, UPI, cash, or one large bill split across them.
- Distributor purchases: purchase orders, partial deliveries and a ledger for each supplier.
- GST by HSN: appliances and accessories sit under different HSN codes.
- Service desk: installation or repair jobs, if you offer them.
- Staff controls: separate logins so discounts on costly items are on record.

Which one fits which electronics shop
RichPOS: walk-in showrooms with a service desk
You get unlimited items, brands and variants, barcode label printing and low-stock alerts. Bills can be paid by cash, card, UPI or a split of these and sent to the customer by SMS, email or WhatsApp. Purchase orders can be received in full or in part, every distributor has a running ledger, and GST reports by HSN/SAC export to Excel, CSV or PDF for your CA. The repair module logs service jobs with product, issue and parts used. Separate cashier logins with permissions keep discounts in check. One plan covers it: ₹2,000/year.
Vyapar: small shops on a tight budget
A popular low-cost choice for small shops that want desktop billing, with a mobile add-on at a higher price. The 7-day trial is short, so load your models and accessories and test it quickly. Comparing? See Vyapar alternatives.
Marg ERP: shops already running a desktop ERP
Marg is a long-standing desktop ERP. Its entry price is higher than the others here, and each extra user or company adds ₹3,000, which adds up with a sales counter and a service desk. See Marg ERP alternatives.
Zoho Inventory: shops that also sell online
Zoho Inventory is built around orders and inventory across channels. The free plan's 50 orders a month is small for a busy showroom, and the Standard plan works out to about ₹11,988/year. See Zoho Inventory alternatives.
Khatabook: tracking customer credit only
Khatabook is a free digital ledger for customer credit. It records who owes what but is not a billing counter with stock and GST. See Khatabook alternatives.
The GST side
Most consumer electronics and appliances attract 18% GST after the September 2025 rate changes, but the rate follows each product's HSN code, so set it per item. Read GST on electronics and appliances for the current list. If you sell mobile phones too, see best billing software for mobile phone shops.
