Getting Started

Create your account

Sign up in under a minute with a WhatsApp or email OTP. There's no password and no credit card, and every account starts on a 14-day free trial.

Creating an InvoiceKaro account takes less than a minute. You can sign up with your phone number, which gets a one-time passcode (OTP) on WhatsApp, or with your email address. Either way there's no password to remember.

Phone navigation
The updated phone layout uses Home, Invoices, Customers and More, whether or not a business type is selected. Your role controls which areas you can open. Use More → Settings for settings and More for Payments, Projects and other permitted tools. Older installed releases may still show five or six tabs, including Profile; changing a business type does not update an installed app.
Register: choose Phone (the OTP comes on WhatsApp) or Email. Earlier layout shown; use the current navigation steps in this guide.

Sign up with phone or email

  1. 1Open invoicekaro.com/app and tap Register.
  2. 2Choose Phone or Email at the top of the form.
  3. 3Enter your 10-digit WhatsApp number (the +91 is already filled in) or your email address, and tap Get OTP. A 6-digit code arrives on WhatsApp or by email.
  4. 4Enter the code and tap Verify & Continue. The code is valid for 5 minutes. If it does not arrive, wait for the resend countdown, then choose the resend option.
  5. 5Add your Business Name, Owner Name and State, then choose Shop / Retail, Services / Projects, or Both and tap Complete Setup. City and address are optional here. Skip for Now lets you finish later; it keeps a business type you already selected, or keeps the existing computer menu and shortcuts if you did not. The phone uses four tabs either way. See Business type.
Tip
Didn't get the code? For email, check your spam folder. For phone, make sure the number is on WhatsApp and typed correctly. Wait a few seconds before resending, or switch to the other method and try again.

When you first land on the dashboard, a Welcome to InvoiceKaro checklist walks you through three steps: Add your business details, Add your first customer and Create your first invoice. Tap a step to open the right screen.

Your free trial

Every new account starts on a 14-day free trial, with no card needed. The trial plan covers 3 customers and 5 invoices a month.

  • On a computer, the plan card at the bottom of the left menu shows your plan, the invoices used this month and the days left in your trial.
  • On a phone, open More → Settings and look at the Plan & billing card. In the last five days your plan badge in the header also shows the days left.
  • In the last three days, a banner reads Your free trial ends in N days and has a View plans button. You also get a reminder under the bell.

When the trial ends, upgrade to a paid plan to keep creating and sending invoices. Nothing is deleted: you can still sign in and see all your invoices, customers and settings.

Signing back in

To sign in later, tap Login and pick the method you registered with. For a phone, enter your WhatsApp number and tap Send WhatsApp OTP. For email, enter your address and tap Email me a code. Enter the code and tap Verify & Login. There's no password to reset.

Login: the OTP goes to your WhatsApp, or to your email if you choose Email. Earlier layout shown; use the current navigation steps in this guide.

Note
Signing in needs internet. Once signed in, you can prepare Offline billing in each browser you use. Stay signed in to reopen the prepared app during an outage; after logging out, reconnect and sign into the same business and staff account to recover saved bills.
Can I sign up without a phone number?+
Yes. Choose Email on the Register form. Your account then has no phone number linked; contact support if you want one added later.
Can I change my sign-in phone number or email?+
Not from the app. They're your verified sign-in details, so they're shown as read-only in your business profile. Contact support to change them.
Do I need a GSTIN to sign up?+
No. You can add it later in Settings → Business profile. You'll need it before you issue an invoice that charges GST; see Set up your business.
Note
Next: take a quick tour of the app, then set up your business so your invoices look professional and customers can pay you.
