1. The 5-Step Onboarding Wizard

When you first install SuperGST, a guided 5-step wizard helps you configure your store for immediate compliance:

  • Step 1: Choose Template: Select from 4 professional print themes (Sharp, Bold, Celestial, or Enterprise) with a real-time interactive document preview.
  • Step 2: Store & Address Details: Enter your legal Business Name, Customer Support Phone, Street Address, City, State (normalized to official 2-digit GST state codes), Postal Code, and Country.
  • Step 3: Tax Settings: Enter your 15-character statutory GSTIN, choose your default fallback GST rate (0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%), and configure whether to charge GST on customer shipping fees.
  • Step 4: B2B GSTIN Collection: Learn how to embed the buyer GSTIN capture block onto your cart drawer or cart page to capture business tax IDs.
  • Step 5: Setup Complete: Celebrate setup completion and review subscription plan options.

2. Business Profile Settings

In Settings > Business Profile, you can configure mandatory statutory disclosures required on every legal tax invoice:

  • Legal Business Name: The exact entity name registered on the government GST portal.
  • GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number): Your 15-character statutory registration number.
  • Permanent Account Number (PAN): Your 10-character PAN (e.g., ABCDE1234F), validated according to official statutory regex rules.
  • Registered Business Address: Principal place of business including street address, city, and postal code.
  • State Code: Select your operating state (e.g., Code 27 for Maharashtra, 07 for Delhi, 29 for Karnataka). This determines whether local orders incur intra-state CGST + SGST or inter-state IGST.
  • Optional Statutory Certifications: Toggle and input additional regulatory credentials where applicable:
  • FSSAI License Number: 14-digit statutory license mandatory for food, beverage, and health supplement businesses.
  • Import Export Code (IEC): 10-character alphanumeric code for cross-border export merchants.
  • Corporate Identity Number (CIN): 21-character registration number for registered Private Limited and Public Limited companies.

3. Tax Rates & Shipping Settings

In Settings > Tax Rates & Shipping, configure your store-wide tax defaults:

  • Default Fallback GST Rate: Applied when products in Shopify lack specific tax rates (options: 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%; default 18%).
  • Charge GST on Shipping Fees: Toggle on or off according to your business model.
  • Shipping Tax Rate: When shipping GST is enabled, select the tax rate applied to delivery fees (0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%; default 18%).
  • HSN on B2C Invoices: Toggle whether to display HSN codes on consumer retail invoices.

4. Logo & Authorized Signature

In Settings > Logo & Signature, upload high-resolution assets to personalize your print documents:

  • Company Logo: Upload your brand logo (PNG or JPEG, transparent background recommended). Uploaded securely to Cloudflare R2 object storage.
  • Authorized Digital Signature: PNG format with a transparent background. Rule 46 of the CGST Rules permits authorized signatories to digitally sign tax invoices.
  • Signatory Designation: Customize the signatory title displayed beneath the signature image (e.g., "Authorized Signatory" or "Director").

5. Email Automation & Native Notification Triggers

In Settings > Email Automation, toggle native Shopify notification triggers:

  • Native Email Automation Trigger: When enabled, SuperGST sets the Shopify order metafield custom.gst_invoice_generated = true as soon as an invoice PDF is compiled and uploaded.
  • This boolean trigger allows your native Shopify Order Confirmation and Shipping Confirmation emails to conditionally display an official invoice download button linking to the storefront App Proxy.
