I've Been Using Vyapar for My Shop — Here's How to Get a Discount With Invite Code PNQ1G9
Let me be straight with you. When I first started my small business, I was doing everything in a notebook. Sales, expenses, who paid, who didn't — all of it, handwritten in a register like it was 1995. It worked, sort of, until tax season hit and I spent three days trying to figure out where my numbers went wrong.
A friend told me to try Vyapar. I was skeptical — I'd tried a couple of other apps before and they either felt like they were built for a CA firm, not a small trader, or they crashed every time I had more than 50 entries. But Vyapar was different, and I want to tell you why — and also how to get a discount when you sign up using invite code PNQ1G9.
So What Even Is Vyapar?
Vyapar is a billing and accounting app made specifically for Indian small businesses. And I mean specifically — it's not some international software awkwardly adapted for GST. It was built from the ground up keeping Indian traders, shopkeepers, and small business owners in mind.
You can create GST invoices, track who owes you money, manage your stock, see how much profit you're actually making, and share invoices directly on WhatsApp. That last one alone saves me probably 20 minutes every single day.
The interface is simple enough that my uncle — who barely uses a smartphone — figured it out in one afternoon. It's available in Hindi and several other Indian languages too, which honestly matters more than most apps realize.
Why the Invite Code PNQ1G9 Actually Matters
Here's the thing — Vyapar has a free version, and it's genuinely decent. But the premium plans unlock features that, if you're running a real business, you're going to want. Things like detailed profit and loss reports, multi-device access so you can check numbers from home and the shop, and better inventory management.
The premium plans aren't outrageously priced, but every rupee counts when you're running a small business. That's where the invite code comes in.
When you sign up and enter PNQ1G9 in the referral code field, you get a discount on your subscription — sometimes it's a flat price cut, sometimes an extended trial period depending on what offer is running at the time. Either way, you're getting more value than if you signed up without it.
It takes literally five seconds to enter. There's no reason not to.
How to Sign Up and Use the Code
Download the app — it's on Android, iOS, and there's a desktop version for Windows too. When you open it and create your account, go through the normal setup and at some point during registration you'll see a box that says something like "Referral Code" or "Invite Code."
Type in PNQ1G9 there. That's it. The discount applies automatically.
From there, just put in your business details and you're ready to go.
The Things I Actually Use Every Day
I don't want to just list features at you, so let me tell you what I personally use and why it matters.
The invoice creation is fast. I can make a proper GST invoice in under a minute, which sounds basic but when you're serving customers and they're waiting, that speed matters. I send it straight to their WhatsApp number and it looks professional — not like something I typed up in Notes.
The payment tracking is something I didn't know I needed until I had it. Vyapar tells me which customers have outstanding amounts and for how long. I used to chase people awkwardly. Now I just check the app, send a polite reminder, and it's done without an uncomfortable conversation.
The reports — especially profit and loss — helped me realize one of my product categories was barely making money after accounting for what I paid suppliers. I would never have caught that from my register.
A Few Honest Limitations
It's not perfect. The desktop app can feel a bit slow sometimes. And if you're running a very complex business with multiple branches and advanced accounting needs, you'll probably eventually outgrow it. But for the vast majority of small and medium Indian businesses? It covers everything you actually need.
Customer support has been decent in my experience — they have chat support and it's fairly responsive, though during busy periods you might wait a bit.
Who Should Actually Bother With This?
If you're a retailer, trader, service provider, or freelancer in India who issues invoices and needs to track money in and money out — Vyapar is genuinely worth trying. It's especially good if you're currently using a register, Excel, or nothing at all.
Use the invite code PNQ1G9 when you sign up. It costs you nothing and gets you a better deal. Small saving, zero effort. That's the kind of math I like.
Note: The specific discount or benefit from the invite code may vary depending on current promotions. Check the app at the time of signup for the exact offer applied.
