Frequently asked
Is LekhaPro a good Swipe alternative?
Yes for businesses wanting offline desktop billing with full accounting and GST, and their data kept local.
Does it work offline?
Yes — billing, stock and GST run without the internet.
Are the bills GST-correct?
Yes — GST is computed by construction and posts to your books.
What exactly is included in Alternative · billing?
GST billing & POS, barcode & thermal receipts, inventory & COGS, double-entry books & GST returns, one-tap WhatsApp / email share and deterministic AI insights, and 1 more. Every item on that list is a working screen you can open in the trial rather than a capability described in the abstract.
How is alternative · billing handled differently here?
It rests on fast GST billing, full suite and offline, local data. The distinction that matters is that these are structural rather than cosmetic — the behaviour is built into how records are posted, not layered on as a report you have to remember to run.
Does Alternative · billing post to the real books?
Yes, and that is the whole reason it lives in this product rather than beside it. What fast GST billing records lands in the same posted double-entry ledger the Trial Balance, P&L and GST returns are built from — so there is no second set of alternative · billing numbers to reconcile against the first.
Does Alternative · billing cost extra?
No. Alternative · billing is part of the accounting core rather than a paid add-on, so full suite is there on the entry tier exactly as it is on the highest one. What the tiers change is reach and depth — devices, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on.
Can I try Alternative · billing before committing?
Yes — 14 days, no card. Test alternative · billing against your own masters and your own transactions rather than sample data: the questions worth answering here are about your business's edge cases, and a demo dataset is built not to have any.
Is anything in Alternative · billing generated by AI?
None of the figures. Everything fast GST billing produces is computed by tested engines and would be identical with the model switched off — what AI contributes is the sentence around a number and the routing that brings the right one to your attention. Nothing it writes posts to your books without your approval.
Can I get my alternative · billing data out again?
Yes. On the Desktop edition everything Alternative · billing records sits in a local database on a disk you choose, with scheduled encrypted backups you control — stopping payment leaves you holding a readable file. On the Cloud edition your data is isolated to your business by row-level security and exportable from the reports it feeds.
