GST invoice for every Shopify order, sent automatically

When an order is paid, a GST invoice with the right CGST and SGST or IGST is created in Zoho Books, emailed to the customer and filed for your accountant.

Indian Shopify stores that make invoices by hand or in a separate billing app.

How it runs · 6 steps

Starts whenAn order is marked paid in Shopify

  1. Step 1, Shopify: Order is paid. Passes on: Order: items, HSN, prices, customer, state.
  2. Step 2, n8n: Works out the place of supply. Passes on: Same state: CGST + SGST · other: IGST.
  3. Step 3, Zoho Books: Creates the invoice in Zoho Books. Passes on: Invoice no., GSTIN if B2B, tax lines.
  4. Step 4, Gmail: Emails the invoice to the customer. Passes on: Email: thank you + invoice PDF.
  5. Step 5, Google Drive: Files the PDF for your accountant. Passes on: PDF in the month's folder.
  6. Step 6, Google Sheets: Adds a line to the sales register. Passes on: Date, invoice, taxable value, GST.
  7. Result: Every paid order invoiced, sent and filed, and your CA gets a register.

Before and after.

Before · by hand

Invoices are made one by one after the orders, or in a batch at month end. Tax splits get typed wrong, and the CA asks for a sales register nobody has.

After · once it runs

Every paid order has a numbered GST invoice within minutes, the customer has a copy, and your accountant has a clean register. Typically gives back 4–6 hours a week for a store with 30 or more orders a day.

Time savings are typical figures for the size of business described, not a promise. Yours depend on your volumes.

What you provide

  • Admin access to your Shopify store

How we build it

Built when you order, in about 5 working days.

  1. 01

    You order

    Send the form with this automation named. We reply within one working day with what we need from you and how to pay.

  2. 02

    We connect your accounts

    You give us access to the apps under ‘What you provide’. We build the workflow in your n8n account and connect each app.

  3. 03

    We test it with your data

    We run it on real examples from your business, fix anything that does not fit, and show you the results.

  4. 04

    Handover

    You get the written guide and it keeps running. Typically 5 working days from access to handover, then 30 days of fixes.

Questions buyers ask

+Is it ready to download?

No. Nothing is pre-installed. When you order, we build this workflow in your own account, connect your apps, test it with your data and hand it over, typically 5 working days after we have your access.

+What else will I pay for?

Nothing extra beyond your Zoho Books plan. n8n is free to self-host on your own server; n8n Cloud has its own monthly plans. You pay those providers directly, not us.

+Can you host it for us instead?

Yes, with the optional Care plan: ₹999 a month for one automation, or ₹1,999 for up to five or any one pack ($29 and $49 outside India). We run n8n for you, keep your app connections in n8n's encrypted credential store, fix failed runs and renew expiring connections. Cancel any time and we move the workflow into your own n8n account.

+Can you adjust it to how we work?

Small changes that keep the same flow, such as message wording, fields, timings or who gets alerted, are part of setup. Anything that adds apps or steps is quoted before we start, and bigger builds are our custom automation service.

+What happens after the 30 days?

It keeps running in your account; it does not stop if you stop working with us. Fixes or changes after the 30 days are quoted when you need them.

+Who can see our data?

The workflow runs in your own account, so your data moves between your own apps. We need access while we set it up and during the 30 days of fixes; you can remove that access whenever you like. On the Care plan it runs in n8n on our server instead: your data passes through it on its way between your apps, and your app connections are stored encrypted.

+Can it run on Make or Zapier instead?

Yes, on Make, if you already use it. Say so in the form and we confirm before you pay. Their own plan limits apply.

+We use Tally, not Zoho Books. Does it still work?

The invoices can be made in TallyPrime instead, through its XML interface, as long as n8n can reach your Tally computer. Say so in the form and we confirm whether it fits this price before you pay.

Want this one, or something a little different?

If this is what you need, fill in the form and we will set it up for you. If it is not quite right, we build custom automations too. Tell us what you need.

Optional · monthly

Rather not run n8n yourself? We host it and look after it.

  • We run n8n for you, so there is no n8n bill and nothing for you to install
  • Your app connections are kept in n8n's encrypted credential store
  • We are alerted when a run fails, and we fix it
  • Connections that expire are renewed before they stop working
  • One small change a month: a message, a field, a recipient
  • Cancel any time: we move the workflow into your own n8n account
