About Swipe

Swipe is an invoicing and billing app built mainly for small and medium businesses in India. It creates GST-compliant invoices, quotations, purchase orders and estimates in a few seconds and shares them over WhatsApp, email or SMS, with automatic reminders for unpaid bills. Beyond invoicing it tracks stock in and out, records payments and expenses, and produces sales, purchase, ledger and profit-and-loss reports. India-specific features include e-way bills, e-invoices, GSTR JSON exports and a sync with Tally, and bills can be printed on A4 or on 2- and 3-inch thermal printers for counter billing. It runs as a mobile app and in the browser, and supports several users and businesses on one account. Basic invoicing can be started free, with paid plans unlocking the advanced GST and inventory features. It suits shops, distributors and freelancers who want quick billing rather than a full accounting package.

Best for: Indian SMEs that want quick GST invoices, e-way bills and stock tracking from a phone.
