Local tax, currency, and payments
India organizations use GST calculation with HSN-aware invoicing and GSTR-oriented export workflows. Intrastate sales split CGST and SGST; interstate sales use IGST.
PineLabs and Paytm EDC terminals integrate from the POS — amounts push to the device and results return to close the order.

Hospitality and retail operations
Counters, waiter floor apps, kitchen display, reservations, inventory, and optional Shopify sync run on the same platform — so a merchant in India with a shop and a restaurant does not maintain two catalogs, two stock ledgers, and two closing routines.
Delivery and online channels
Connect India delivery marketplace adapters such as Swiggy and Zomato when enabled for your organization.
Marketplace tickets land on the same kitchen display and the same order ledger as dine-in, which keeps reporting honest at close.
