The right GST on every room night
A room night at ₹7,500 or less after the discount is 5%; above it, 18%. Food goes at 5% with its own SAC. With a GSTIN the paper says TAX INVOICE; without one, BILL. Nothing to pick each time.
- A group of 10 rooms on one bill, each line with its rooms
- A company's GSTIN and state printed on the bill
- Season rates and without-AC rates come from the booking
Print on anything, or send it on WhatsApp
A5 like the bill book, A4, Letter, or a 2- or 3-inch roll printer. Or send the guest a link: they open the bill on their phone, and the desk sees “Opened by the guest”.
- The bill as a PDF, a picture or a roll
- The link works for 90 days and can be stopped
- The guest needs no app
Advance, part payments and dues in one place
The advance taken at booking comes off the bill by itself. What's left shows in Dues, oldest bill first, with a reminder on WhatsApp in one tap.
- Cash, UPI and bank, each counted
- An advance given back, kept as a cancellation charge, or moved
- A tour operator's bills together
Change a bill the right way
A saved bill can be changed until the 10th of the next month, before GSTR-1. The copy before each change is kept, with who changed it and why. After that, cancel it and make it again; a number is never used twice.
- Old copies stamped OLD COPY
- “To give back ₹X” when the new total is lower
- Every change in History, with the person's name

Questions about hotel bills
Is GST on hotel rooms 5% or 18%?
It goes by each room night's rate after any discount: ₹7,500 or less is 5%, above it 18%. StayXplus works it out for every night, so one bill can have both. If your hotel has a special case, ask your CA.
Can I make bills without GST?
Yes. A hotel without a GSTIN makes a plain BILL; with a GSTIN every bill is a TAX INVOICE.
Does it work with a thermal printer?
Yes: 2-inch (58 mm) and 3-inch (80 mm) rolls from the reception PC or a phone by Bluetooth, and any A4 or A5 printer. Rolls print in English letters.
Can the guest get the bill on WhatsApp?
Yes, as a PDF or a link. The link opens on any phone without an app and shows the desk when the guest opened it.
