Settings

Every section of Settings, in the order it appears: your business, bank accounts, invoice numbers, logo and stamp, more than one business, terms, features, stock alerts, region, backups, Google Drive, import and export, and updates.

#Saving your changes

The section buttons stay at the top of Settings as you scroll: each jumps straight to its section, and the one you are reading is highlighted. At the bottom, one bar saves the whole page. It shows ✓ All changes saved, or, in amber, which sections have unsaved changes, with Discard to undo them all and Save all changes to save them all in one click.

Not everything waits for a Save. Save all changes covers every section in the last two columns:

Saves by itself as you change itHas its own Save buttonNeeds Save Profile
Payment accounts, Modules, RegionInvoice number format, Low-stock alerts, Terms templatesCompany details, PAN, logo, signature, stamp, GSTR filing details, Google Drive fields

The row of buttons under the title jumps to each section.

#GSTR filing details

Indian businesses only, and only used in the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B files. All optional.

  • Aggregate turnover (AATO) is above ₹5 crore: tick it if so. HSN codes then need 6 digits instead of 4.
  • Previous FY aggregate turnover and Current FY turnover so far, in rupees. You can also change these on the portal while filing.

#Bank accounts and UPI

Add as many bank and UPI accounts as you like with + Add account. Each account has:

Internal notesNever printed
Set as defaultThe ⭐ account is used on new invoices

In the list, each account has buttons to make it the default (⭐), move it up or down, switch it off or on, edit and delete it. Switched-off accounts are not offered on new invoices. Deleting one never changes invoices already made with it: they keep the bank details they were saved with.

Pick a different account for one invoice under Customize.

PAN Number, below the accounts, prints in the bank details block. It needs Save Profile.

If you set up bank details in an older version, a banner offers Import & continue to turn them into your first account.

#Invoice number format

The preview at the top shows exactly how the next number will look.

Branded SequentialPREFIX/2026-27/0001, with the financial year. The default.
Simple SequentialPREFIX/0001
RandomPREFIX/A3X9K2

Under ⚙ Customize prefix, separator & padding:

  • Brand Prefix: up to 10 capital letters and digits, such as ACME. Leave it empty to use each type's own prefix: INV, EST, BOS, COMP, CN and DC.
  • Separator: /, - or #.
  • Include Financial Year: yes or no.
  • Number Padding: 3 to 6 digits, such as 0001.

#Logo, signature and stamp

Upload each one separately. Any image up to 5 MB works; large images are made smaller for you. A signature or stamp on a transparent PNG looks best. Each has a size slider: logo 24 to 80 pixels high, signature 30 to 110, stamp 30 to 120.

Click Save Profile to keep them. The signature and stamp print side by side above the signatory's name, and on a long invoice they always move to the next page together rather than being split.

A photo from an iPhone in HEIC format may not open; share it as JPEG first.

#More than one business

If you run more than one business, each gets its own profile with its own GSTIN, bank accounts, logo and signature, and its own books. Invoices, totals, purchases, expenses, receipts, recurring invoices, reports and GST returns all follow the business selected at the top of the sidebar.

  • + Add New Profile saves the business on screen to the list, then clears the form for the new one. Fill it in and click Save Profile.
  • Save as Profile saves the form into the list, or updates the entry with the same name.
  • Switch on a card changes business. The current one is saved first.
  • Deleting a profile only removes it from the list. Its invoices stay.

Your client list is shared by all businesses. Records made before you had several businesses show under all of them until you assign them.

#Terms and conditions templates

Keep the terms you use as templates, then pick one on each invoice.

  • Quick Start: one click adds a ready-made set for Services, Goods, Manufacturing and Trading, Export, or Freelancer.
  • + New Template: give it a name and paste your terms.

Deleting a template does not change invoices that used it.

#Turning features off

Untick anything you do not use, and it disappears from the sidebar and forms. Your data is kept, and ticking it again brings it all back.

#Google Drive

The easy way: install Google Drive for Desktop, sign in, and move the app's Saved Invoices folder into your Drive, or set it to sync. Every PDF you download is then in your Drive, on any device. No setup in the app is needed.

Direct upload, under Advanced, is for people comfortable with Google Cloud: it needs a Google OAuth Client ID of your own. Enter it and a folder name, click Save Profile, then Connect Google Drive. After that, Save & Download uploads each invoice PDF, and a backup can be saved to Drive when exporting.
