📖 Complete Guide

From download to billing
in under 5 minutes.

No technical knowledge required. Just download, install, and start.

✅ Phase 0 — Requirements
📋

What you need before starting

Ganyat runs as a simple Windows desktop app. You only need:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC (64-bit)
  • Internet connection (for sync and cloud features)
  • ~200 MB free disk space
  • That's it! No Node.js, no database setup, no server required.
✅ Good news: Ganyat is fully managed — you just download the .exe installer and you're ready. No server setup needed for standard users.
⬇️ Phase 1 — Download & Install
1

Download the installer

Go to the Download section of this website and click "⬇ Download .exe (Windows)". This downloads Ganyat-Setup.exe (~120 MB). The file is a complete, self-contained installer.

✅ The installer includes everything — no additional downloads or dependencies needed.
2

Run the installer

Double-click Ganyat-Setup.exe. If Windows shows a "Windows protected your PC" popup:

  • Click More info
  • Then click Run anyway

The installer will finish in about 1–2 minutes and add a Ganyat shortcut to your Desktop and Start Menu.

⚠️ Use the default install path recommended by the installer for best results.
3

Launch Ganyat

Double-click the Ganyat icon on your Desktop. The app will open and connect to our cloud server automatically. No configuration needed — just create your shop and start billing!

💡 Ganyat connects to our secure cloud server. Your data is safely stored and backed up — nothing is stored only on your PC.
🏪 Phase 2 — Register Your Shop
1

Click "Register New Shop"

On the login screen, click Register New Shop (below the Shop Code field). Fill in:

  • Shop Code — a short unique ID (e.g. rameshstore). Use only lowercase letters and numbers. This cannot be changed later.
  • Shop Name — your full shop name (e.g. Ramesh General Store)
  • Admin Name — your name
  • Admin Email — your email address
  • Password — a strong password (min 8 characters)
✅ Your 14-day free trial starts automatically on registration. No credit card needed.
2

Log in to your shop

After registering, enter your Shop Code → select your user → enter your password. You're in! You'll see your dashboard immediately.

🚀 Phase 3 — First-Time Setup Inside the App
1

Configure Shop Settings

Go to Settings → Shop Profile and fill in:

  • Shop Address and GST Number (if GST registered)
  • Phone number and email for invoices
  • Invoice prefix (default: INV)
  • Choose from **Multiple professional PDF invoice templates**
  • Set up **Automatic Cloud Backups** in Settings to keep your data secure
2

Add Your Products

Go to Products → Add Product. For each product, enter:

  • Product name, barcode (optional), category
  • Purchase price (cost) and selling price
  • Current stock quantity and low-stock alert threshold
  • GST rate (0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%)
✅ You can scan barcodes directly using a USB/Bluetooth barcode scanner to auto-fill the barcode field.
3

Add Parties (Customers / Suppliers)

Go to Parties → Add Party. Enter the customer or supplier's name, phone, and address. The system will automatically maintain their ledger as you create invoices and purchases.

4

Create Your First Invoice

Go to Invoices → New Invoice:

  • Select or type the customer name
  • Add items (type product name or scan barcode)
  • Set quantity — stock updates automatically
  • Choose payment mode (Cash / UPI / Credit)
  • Click Save & Print to generate a PDF
✅ Your invoice PDF is ready instantly — print it or share it via WhatsApp directly from the app.
💳 Phase 4 — Subscribe to Pro Plan
1

When your trial ends (after 14 days)

You will see a subscription prompt. Go to Settings → Subscription or click the banner at the top.

2

Choose a plan and pay

Select Pro Plan (₹499/month, ₹2,694/6mo, or ₹4,788/year). Click Subscribe — a Razorpay checkout will open. Pay using UPI, card, or net banking.

✅ Subscription activates instantly after successful payment. All your trial data is preserved.
3

Have a promo code?

Enter it in the Promo Code field before clicking Subscribe. The discount is applied automatically.

👥 Phase 5 — Adding Team Members
1

Add staff users

Go to Settings → Users → Add User. Assign a role:

  • Admin — full access to everything
  • Manager — billing, inventory, reports; cannot change settings
  • Staff — billing only; limited access
2

Set up PIN login (optional)

Each user can set a 4-digit PIN for quick login at the counter without typing their full password. Go to their user profile and enable PIN login.

✅ Great for shared billing computers where multiple staff take turns at the counter.
🛠️ Phase 6 — Troubleshooting
❓

App shows "Cannot connect" error

  • Check your internet connection — Ganyat needs internet to work
  • Wait 30 seconds and try again — server may be momentarily busy
  • Contact support if the issue persists
❓

Subscription not activating after payment

  • Wait 60 seconds and refresh the app
  • Check the Subscription page for status
  • Contact support with your Razorpay payment ID — we'll activate manually within 30 minutes
