Manual 2 of 8

Activation & First Setup

Activate the app, create the first admin, and finish the required business settings before the first live invoice.

Activate the product

  1. Open GST Billing Pro after installation.
  2. Enter the activation key exactly as received by email or internal provisioning.
  3. Allow the activation check to complete.
  4. Confirm that the plan and validity details are accepted before proceeding.
In the current commercial model, a single activation key can also hydrate the linked plan entitlement. The user should not need a second manual plan unlock step.
Activation and setup overview
Finish activation before user creation so the app inherits the right plan and commercial state immediately.
Business profile, tax profile, bank details, and print defaults should be configured as one setup pass.
The first admin should be a recoverable real account, not a temporary training login.
Annotated view: setup quality directly affects invoice behavior, plan enforcement, and support recovery later.

Create the first admin user

  1. Choose a strong admin password.
  2. Use the owner or primary operations email if you want clean support recovery later.
  3. Store the admin credentials securely before onboarding additional users.

Complete business settings before live billing

Business Profile

Set legal business name, GSTIN, address, state code, contact details, and logo.

Tax Profile

Select `Regular GST` or `Composition Scheme`. This directly affects allowed document types and GST behavior.

Bank & Payment

Add bank details and UPI settings so invoices and receipt vouchers show the right payment information.

Print Defaults

Choose A4, A5, or thermal defaults, enable the right columns, and verify the printer path.

High-priority settings to review

  • Default sales document type
  • Invoice numbering and prefixes
  • Thermal receipt size and style
  • Reminder rules and email configuration if used
  • Deployment mode: Local Desktop, LAN Hub, or Cloud Workspace

Production-safe setup rule

Do not start real billing until you have printed one sample invoice, tested one payment receipt, and confirmed the business tax profile is correct. Fixing those after live billing creates avoidable cleanup work.
