Does TypeBill support GST billing?
Yes. TypeBill creates GST-compliant invoices with a CGST/SGST breakup and supports both tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive pricing, so your bills match how you actually price your services and products.
Can I send bills to customers on WhatsApp?
Yes. Every invoice can be shared to the customer's WhatsApp in one tap, with a Google review link built in so happy customers can leave a review straight away.
Is TypeBill good for a beauty parlour or spa?
Yes. TypeBill works for salons, spas and beauty parlours (also spelled parlors), with an appointment calendar, a column per staff member, service billing and customer history all in one place.
Is there a version for retail stores?
Yes. TypeBill Retail is tuned for footwear and retail shops with barcode-fast billing, compact SKU codes, variants like size and colour, stock alerts and purchase entries.
People also search "saloon billing software", is that TypeBill?
Yes. "Saloon" is a common way people spell "salon", and TypeBill is salon (saloon) billing software for Indian hair, beauty and grooming businesses, so you're in the right place.
Does TypeBill need the internet, or does it work offline?
TypeBill connects to your live account over a secure HTTPS connection, so a broadband internet connection is recommended for billing and keeping every branch in sync.
Can I run more than one branch?
Yes. TypeBill syncs multiple branches in real time, with consolidated reports and per-branch dashboards so you can see the whole business or a single outlet at a glance.
Can I manage appointments and staff?
Yes, in the salon edition. There's an appointment calendar with a column per staff member for walk-ins and bookings, and it ties straight into billing so nothing is entered twice.
Is my business data safe?
Your data is stored securely with daily backups and an audit log of changes, and all connections use HTTPS. The Windows desktop app stores no passwords or database credentials on the PC, it simply talks to your account.
Can I move my existing data into TypeBill?
Yes. Early customers get free data migration and setup help during onboarding, so your products, customers and history come across without you re-typing everything.
Is TypeBill a desktop app or web-based?
Both. You can use TypeBill in any modern browser, or install the native Windows desktop app for Retail or Salon from the Download page for a cleaner counter experience.
Which devices does TypeBill run on?
TypeBill runs in the browser on any modern device, and as a native app on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). Any machine that runs a modern browser will run TypeBill.
