How it works
Three steps, then invoices run themselves
Set GST up once. After that, every paid order takes care of itself.
Install on your store
Add Orbit Connect from your account here, then open it inside your Shopify admin and add your business and GST details.
Set GST once
Give products an HSN code and a rate, or state a rate once for a whole collection. Add a GST registration for each location and choose how invoices are numbered.
Invoices issue themselves
Switch on automatic invoicing and each paid order gets a numbered GST invoice, ready to reach the customer.
What Orbit Connect does
Everything an Indian GST invoice needs
Invoicing
From BasicAutomatic invoicing, numbered your way
Your prefix, your series, one per GST location if you need it. Or use the Shopify order number as the invoice number.
Off until you turn it on. Needs your GST details saved and the in-app data terms accepted.
Automatic invoices on payment
Switch on automatic generation and each paid order gets its invoice as soon as Shopify reports the payment.
GST accuracy
From StartupOne clear order for the tax rate
Product rate first, then your collection rule, then the tax Shopify calculated, then your store default. No line is guessed.
Shopify's tax is used unless you choose to use Orbit Connect's rates only.
Charges
From StartupShipping and COD as their own lines
Shipping, cash-on-delivery and handling fees appear as separate invoice lines, each with its own tax.
Shipping and COD as their own lines
Shipping, cash-on-delivery and handling fees appear as separate invoice lines, each with its own tax worked out from Shopify's tax on the order or your store's default rate.
Reports & filing
From StartupWorking data for your accountant

Delivery

Invoice download links use random tokens, expire, can be limited in use and can be revoked.
Every export is logged
Report exports, downloads and integration connections are recorded in an audit trail kept for a year.

FAQ
Questions people ask before they install
What is Orbit Connect?
Orbit Connect is a Shopify app that creates GST tax invoices for Indian Shopify stores. It also issues credit notes, prepares GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and IFF working data, supports e-invoicing through your own GSP account, delivers invoices to customers, and connects to Odoo and Zoho Books with a Tally export.
It is software, not tax or legal advice. Your accountant is still the person to confirm rates, HSN codes and returns.
How do I install it, and what do I need?
Orbit Connect installs on your Shopify store from an install link in your account on this site, and then opens inside your Shopify admin. Its launch checklist walks you through adding your business and GST details, at least one GST registration, and HSN codes for your products. Automatic invoicing stays off until you switch it on.
You need a Shopify store and admin access to it. A few features need an account of your own: e-invoicing needs a GST Suvidha Provider (GSP), WhatsApp delivery needs a WhatsApp Business (Cloud API) account, custom email needs an SMTP account, and the Odoo integration needs an Odoo instance with API access.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. If you cancel during the trial you are not charged.
What do the plans cost?
There are four plans, billed monthly: Startup $4.99, Basic $14.99, Growth $39.99 and Advanced $49.90. Prices are shown in US dollars, and there is no annual pricing today.
Each plan includes everything in the plan before it, plus more. The pricing page lists exactly what is in each one.
What happens if I go over my plan's order limit?
Each plan is sized for a number of orders a month: Startup up to 100, Basic up to 300, Growth up to 1,200 and Advanced up to 5,000. Today that figure is a guide, not a hard limit. Nothing in the app stops you creating invoices once you pass it. Pick the plan that fits your usual monthly volume.
How does Orbit Connect decide the GST rate on an invoice line?
In this order: the GST rate set on the product, then a rate you set for one of its collections, then the tax Shopify calculated for that line, then your store's default rate. You can state a rate once for a collection, for example a shampoo collection, and it applies to every product in it. If a product sits in several collections that have rules, the highest rate applies.
Prices can be treated as tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive, and you can choose to ignore Shopify's tax and use Orbit Connect's own rates only. Rates and HSN codes are yours to confirm with your accountant. Orbit Connect applies what you set.
Does it support e-invoicing?
For businesses that need e-invoicing, yes. The app checks your B2B invoices for the fields the invoice registration portal (IRP) requires, and can submit invoices and e-credit notes through a GST Suvidha Provider (GSP) connection that you set up yourself. It does not connect to the IRP directly, so you need your own GSP account.
Whether e-invoicing applies to you depends on your turnover, and your accountant can tell you. We have not published a list of tested GSPs yet, so if e-invoicing is essential to you, contact us before you subscribe.
How do customers receive their invoice?
Invoices go out by email as a PDF, sent automatically once you turn that on. Customers can also download them from the order status page in their Shopify customer account, and you can add a secure invoice link to your order-confirmation email.
WhatsApp sends come from an order's invoice page in the app, and need the customer's consent to be recorded first. Email can go out from your own domain using your own SMTP account. Customers who have opted out are skipped.
Which accounting and ERP tools does it work with?
Odoo, Zoho Books and Tally, on the Advanced plan. For Odoo, you push invoices and credit notes for a date range, and each one is sent with its customer, sale order and delivery. You need an Odoo instance with API access. For Zoho Books, you connect your organization and sync invoices and credit notes. For Tally, you download an XML voucher file and import it into TallyPrime. That is a file export, not a live link.
Advanced also includes API keys for fetching an order's invoice link. Other tools are not supported today.
What customer data does Orbit Connect store?
What an invoice needs: order details, and the customer's name, address, email, phone number and GSTIN where they apply. Names, contact details, addresses and GSTINs are encrypted before they are stored. You choose how long documents are kept, seven years by default, and you can record customers' consent and opt-outs.
Orbit Connect does not sell personal data or use it for advertising. The app asks Shopify for permission to read orders, customers, fulfillments and locations, and to write to orders and products, which it uses for GST and HSN details on products and an invoice link on orders.
