A mobile phone shop sells high-value handsets in many storage and colour combinations, a wall of low-value accessories, and often runs a repair counter on the side. Customers pay by UPI, card, cash or a mix, and margins on phones are thin, so every unit has to be accounted for. This guide compares the billing software most Indian mobile and accessories shops look at, so you can choose on price and fit.
Quick answer
For most mobile shops, pick software that handles storage and colour variants, prints barcode labels for accessories, takes UPI, card and split payments, gives GST reports by HSN and tracks repair jobs if you fix handsets. 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 a mobile shop needs from billing software
- Variants: one model, many storage and colour options, each with its own stock and price.
- Fast accessory billing: chargers, cables, covers and screen guards scanned by barcode, not searched by hand.
- Every payment method: UPI, card, cash, or one bill split across them.
- Repair jobs: intake, parts used, status and pickup, if you repair handsets.
- Purchases and supplier ledgers: distributors, partial deliveries and monthly settlement.
- GST by HSN: phones and accessories sit under different HSN codes.
- Low-stock alerts: know before a fast-selling model or charger runs out.

Which one fits which mobile shop
RichPOS: sales and repair counters in one shop
You get unlimited items, brands and variants for storage and colour, 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. The built-in mobile repair module logs each job with the device, issue and parts used, tracks it from intake to delivery, and reminds you of pending repairs and uncollected handsets. Purchase orders can be received in full or in part, every supplier has a running ledger, and GST reports by HSN/SAC export to Excel, CSV or PDF for your CA. One plan covers it: ₹2,000/year. Repairs are the main focus? Read best repair shop billing software.
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 free trial is 7 days, 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 repair desk. See Marg ERP alternatives.
Zoho Inventory: phone sellers with an online store
Zoho Inventory is built around orders and inventory across channels. The free plan's 50 orders a month is small for a busy walk-in counter, 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, GST and repairs. See Khatabook alternatives.
The GST side
New mobile phones attract 18% GST. Accessories are spread across several HSN codes, so set the HSN and rate on each item once and let every bill pick it up. Repair work is a service with its own rate; see GST on mobile repair services. If you buy used phones from customers and resell them, the margin scheme can apply; see GST on second-hand mobile phones.
Setting up a mobile counter in RichPOS
- Create phone models by brand, with a variant for each storage and colour option.
- Add accessories with HSN and GST rate, and print barcode labels for them.
- Bill sales by cash, card, UPI or a split, and send the bill on WhatsApp.
- Log repair jobs with device, issue and parts, and set pickup reminders.
- Raise purchase orders to distributors and keep each supplier ledger current.
- At month-end, export GST reports by HSN for your CA.
Check before you buy
If you need an IMEI or serial number captured on every handset sale, sell phones on EMI through a finance partner, or take old phones in exchange, ask each vendor to show exactly how those are handled in a demo. These are not listed on the RichPOS features page, so confirm the set-up that suits your shop when you call.
Frequently asked questions
- Which billing software is best for a mobile phone shop in India?
- A mobile shop needs software that handles phone models with storage and colour variants, fast barcode billing for accessories, UPI, card and split payments, GST reports by HSN and, if you also repair handsets, repair job tracking. RichPOS covers these at ₹199/month (₹2,000/year) with a 30-day free trial and a built-in mobile repair module. Vyapar is a low-cost desktop option, Marg ERP suits shops already on a desktop ERP, and Khatabook is a free credit ledger rather than full billing.
- Can one software handle both phone sales and repairs?
- Yes. RichPOS has a mobile repair module that logs each job with the device, the reported issue and the parts used, tracks status from intake to delivery, and sets reminders for pending repairs and uncollected handsets. Parts used come out of the same stock as the counter, so inventory stays accurate.
- What GST rate applies to mobile phones?
- New mobile phones are taxed at 18% GST. Accessories such as chargers, cables, earphones and covers fall under different HSN codes, so set the HSN and rate on each item and let the software apply it on every bill. Used phones bought from customers can be sold under the margin scheme; see our guide on GST for second-hand mobile phones.
- Does RichPOS track IMEI numbers?
- IMEI tracking is not listed on the RichPOS features page. If you need an IMEI captured on every phone sale, ask for a demo on +91 90333 31255 and confirm the set-up that suits your shop before you buy. Ask the same question of any vendor you are comparing.
- How much does mobile shop billing software cost in India?
- Listed prices (September 2026, excluding GST): RichPOS ₹2,000/year; Vyapar Silver desktop about ₹3,399 to ₹3,421/year; Zoho Inventory Standard ₹999/month billed yearly; Marg ERP from ₹5,550 (Nano) to ₹26,000 (Gold), plus ₹3,000 per extra user or company. Khatabook's ledger is free.
Bottom line: A mobile shop needs fast accessory billing, exact stock on costly handsets and, often, a repair desk that shares the same stock. Pick software that does all three in one place. To see RichPOS on a mobile counter, call +91 90333 31255 or start the 30-day free trial from the pricing page.
