A Vyapar Alternative Built for Kirana Stores That Want to Sell Online
If you're looking for a Vyapar alternative, the real question is what you want your shop software to do. Billing-first apps are excellent at invoices, GST and ledgers — but they stop at the counter.
e-Kirana does billing, GST invoicing and inventory too, and then adds the part most kirana owners actually want next: your own branded online store and home delivery with live order tracking. It's billing plus your own dukaan online — not just a bill book.
e-Kirana vs billing-first apps: a capability view
Here's an honest, capability-by-capability comparison. We describe billing-first apps generally — every product's plans and features change over time, so please check their current details directly.
| Capability | e-Kirana | Typical billing-first apps |
|---|---|---|
| Billing & GST invoicing | Yes — POS billing, GST invoices with HSN codes | Yes — this is their core strength |
| Inventory | Yes — bulk import by barcode | Usually yes |
| Your own online store | Yes — a branded online dukaan on your own subdomain | Generally not the focus |
| Home delivery + live tracking | Yes — batching, route optimisation, delivery-partner app, live GPS tracking | Generally not included |
| UPI payment auto-verify | Yes — automatic UPI payment verification | Varies by product |
Why kirana owners choose e-Kirana
The biggest reason is simple: e-Kirana gives your shop its own online store and home delivery, not just a bill or a ledger. Your customers get a clean online dukaan on your own subdomain, plus a customer mobile app and an offline-capable PWA — so they can order from you directly instead of an aggregator that hides your name.
When an order comes in, e-Kirana helps you dispatch it: orders are batched, routes are optimised, your delivery person gets their own app, and the customer sees live GPS trackingof where their order is. UPI payments are verified automatically so you aren't matching screenshots by hand.
And it's built for India: GST invoicing with HSN codes, billing and POS, inventory you can bulk-import by barcode, offline order capture with cloud sync, and the whole app available in 22 Indian languages. If a billing app already does your invoices well but you want to go beyond the counter, that's exactly the gap e-Kirana fills.
Honest pricing
e-Kirana is a premium, paid product — no ads, and you own your store and your data. Pricing is annual:
- Standard — ₹2,999 / year (plus 18% GST)
- Business — ₹4,999 / year (plus 18% GST), adds GST invoicing with HSN codes
Billing is annual only, and there's no free trial — you pay upfront and get the full product, with nobody putting ads in front of your customers.
Frequently asked questions
Is e-Kirana a billing app like Vyapar?
e-Kirana does billing, GST invoicing and inventory, so it covers the everyday counter work. The difference is that it doesn't stop there — it also gives your shop its own online store and home delivery with live tracking, which billing-first apps generally don't include.
Can I move my product list over without typing everything?
Yes. You can bulk-import your products by barcode, so you don't have to start your catalogue from scratch.
Do my customers need to install anything?
Not necessarily. Your online dukaan works in a normal web browser as an offline-capable PWA, and there's a customer mobile app too.
Does e-Kirana handle GST invoices?
Yes — e-Kirana generates GST-compliant invoices with HSN codes as part of billing, so your invoicing stays in order alongside your online store and deliveries.
Is there a free version?
No. e-Kirana is a paid product (₹2,999 or ₹4,999 per year, plus 18% GST) with annual billing. In return it's ad-free, and your store and data stay yours.
