GST tax & invoicing

GST calculation

Turn on GST and Slaby computes tax per order — CGST/SGST for intra-state and IGST for inter-state — using the buyer's delivery state and your seller state. HSN codes and GST rates can be set per product (or per variant), inherited from the category or your seller tax profile.

The tax breakdown is frozen onto each order at placement, so invoices always match what the buyer paid.

Invoices & proformas

Every order produces a GST-compliant document — an invoice for paid/COD orders or a proforma where appropriate — that both you and the buyer can view and download as a PDF. Buyers can also have their invoice emailed to them, with the PDF attached.

Common questions

Does Slaby create GST invoices for online orders?

Yes. Turn on GST, add your GSTIN and set HSN codes and rates on your products, and every order gets a GST invoice PDF. Slaby applies CGST and SGST within your state and IGST across states. It does not file GST returns or create e-invoices (IRN) or e-way bills, so share invoices with your accountant as usual.

Does Slaby handle CGST/SGST vs IGST automatically?

Yes. It uses the buyer's delivery state and your seller state to apply intra-state (CGST+SGST) or inter-state (IGST) tax automatically.

Can different products have different GST rates?

Yes — set HSN code and GST rate per product or per variant; they can also inherit from the category or your tax profile.
