Record Flipkart sales as proper GST invoices, credit-note the returns, reconcile TCS and commission ITC, and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B without a spreadsheet.
Flipkart generates the customer-facing invoice on your behalf and collects TCS on every sale, which leads many new sellers to assume compliance is done. It is not. The supply is yours, the invoice is legally yours, and every sale has to appear in your GSTR-1 under your own numbering. Flipkart's filing of GSTR-8 gives you a TCS credit; it does not file your return.
Flipkart also bills you: commission, fixed fee, collection fee, shipping fee and, if you use Flipkart Advantage, storage. Every one of those carries 18 percent GST that is your input tax credit, claimable only against invoices that appear in your GSTR-2B. Returns on Flipkart are frequent, especially in fashion, and each one needs a credit note against the original invoice.
myBillPlease does not have a direct Flipkart integration, and we would rather say so than imply one. What we give you is a fast way to turn your Flipkart sales report into a compliant sales register, credit notes that link to invoices, purchase entries for fees, and returns that fill themselves. We built this for our own e-commerce sellers first and refined it with sellers who run Flipkart alongside Amazon and a Shopify store.
From the Flipkart sales report to a filed return
Enter or import your monthly Flipkart sales as GST invoices in your own series with the buyer state, HSN and rate. Intra-state and inter-state tax splits are worked out automatically.
Every returned or cancelled-after-dispatch order becomes a credit note linked to its invoice, ready for GSTR-1 Table 9B. Fashion sellers with 20 percent returns cannot do this by hand.
Record Flipkart's commission, fixed, collection and shipping fee invoices so the 18 percent GST shows as ITC, and match them to GSTR-2B before you claim.
B2C sales, credit notes and the HSN summary fill from your register. File through myBillPlease or export for the portal.
Selling from warehouses in more than one state, or from Flipkart's fulfilment centres, means more than one GSTIN. Keep separate series and returns for each.
Your logo, bank details and GSTIN on every PDF. Useful when a B2B buyer on Flipkart asks for an invoice they can claim ITC against.
Invoice series. Use a channel prefix such as FK/26-27/0001 so Flipkart invoices are identifiable in your register and in an audit. The series must be unique and consecutive within the financial year; myBillPlease enforces that and resets it on 1 April.
GSTINs. If you ship from your own godown in one state you need one GSTIN. If you use Flipkart's fulfilment centres in other states, each is a place of business needing its own registration, series and returns. Transfers into those centres are taxable supplies between your own GSTINs and need an e-way bill above Rs 50,000, which myBillPlease generates against the NIC system from the transfer invoice.
Product master. Every listing needs an HSN code, a rate and a unit before you invoice. Flipkart's category data is not your HSN. Check codes with our HSN code finder, set the price-band rules for apparel and footwear if you sell them, and lock the master. Rate changes apply by invoice date, so back-dated corrections keep the rate that applied on the day.
Payment reconciliation. Flipkart settles net of fees on a fixed cycle. Recording the settlement against the invoices it covers keeps your receivables honest and shows at a glance which orders Flipkart has paid for and which are still in the return window.
Sales. Download the sales report from the Flipkart Seller Hub for the period. Each dispatched order goes into myBillPlease as a tax invoice in your series with the buyer's state from the report. If you sell mostly to consumers, these land in GSTR-1 as B2C small (Table 7) or B2C large for inter-state invoices above Rs 2.5 lakh (rare on a marketplace, but the rule exists).
Returns. Flipkart's returns report lists customer returns and courier returns. Customer returns after delivery need a credit note against the invoice. Courier returns that never reached the buyer are also credit-noted if the invoice was already issued; do not delete the invoice, because your series must be continuous.
Fees. Flipkart issues consolidated tax invoices for its fees, usually available in the Payments section. Record them as purchase invoices. The GST on them is your ITC, but only once they appear in your GSTR-2B, so keep a pending list.
TCS. Flipkart files GSTR-8 and the 1 percent TCS appears on the portal for you to accept. Reconcile the sales Flipkart reported against your invoices net of credit notes before you accept; timing differences at month end are normal, but unexplained gaps are what notices are made of.
Filing. File GSTR-1 by the 11th and GSTR-3B by the 20th. Our GSTR-1 filing guide covers each table for sellers who file on the portal.
Beyond the tax invoice, a Flipkart seller's month produces a handful of other documents, all of which myBillPlease creates from the same order record. A credit note for every return, linked to the invoice. A debit note when you under-billed and need to recover the difference. A delivery challan when stock moves to a Flipkart fulfilment centre without a sale, followed by the transfer invoice between your GSTINs. A proforma invoice when a B2B buyer found you on Flipkart and wants to order in bulk off-platform. A receipt voucher for any advance that buyer pays. And the e-way bill for consignments above Rs 50,000, generated against the NIC system from the challan or invoice you already made. Each document uses one of the 10 PDF templates with your logo, bank details and GSTIN, so the buyer, the courier and the department all see the same numbers.
Where sellers get it wrong, and what we do differently
Up to 100 invoices a month, one user, all documents and return preparation included, no card and no expiry. If you ship more than 100 Flipkart orders a month you are past the hobby stage, and the paid plan is priced for that. Try the free invoice generator first if you only need a compliant format today.
The Seller Hub alone tells you what Flipkart shipped and what Flipkart charged. It does not maintain your invoice series, your credit notes or your return tables, and it cannot see your Amazon or Shopify sales, so it can never give you one monthly GSTR-1.
Excel is where most sellers start and where most notices originate: broken series, returns netted off instead of credit-noted, and an HSN summary rebuilt by hand. Our Excel vs GST software comparison lays out the real cost.
Tally remains the right tool for full accounting. Sellers on Tally often keep it for books and use myBillPlease for order-level invoicing and returns, exporting the register monthly. See the Tally comparison.
We are the lighter option: a billing and GST tool that expects marketplace sales, returns and fee invoices, priced so a seller doing 50 orders a month pays nothing.
Invoices in your series, credit notes for every return, fee ITC you actually claim, and returns that fill themselves. Start on the free plan.
