OneBooks GST is a cloud-based GST and accounting platform for Indian businesses that imports marketplace sales from Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra, AJIO, and JioMart, prepares GSTR-1 returns, parses bank statements into ledger-ready entries, and exports filing-ready and accounting-ready files including GSTR-1 JSON, Tally XML, Miracle, and Profit NX. It is built for e-commerce sellers, accountants, CA firms, traders, distributors, and SMEs who need marketplace order data turned into a compliant GST return without manual data entry. The sections below cover who it serves, what it does today, what is planned for the roadmap, and how its multi-GSTIN structure works.

What Is OneBooks GST?

the platform is a cloud platform that connects marketplace sales data, GSTR-1 return preparation, and bank statement processing into one workflow for Indian sellers and accountants. Rather than replacing every finance function at once, it focuses on the part of GST compliance that is most repetitive for online sellers: pulling order, return, and settlement data out of marketplace reports and Excel/CSV files, converting it into GSTR-1 sections, and exporting the result in formats that a filer or an accountant can use directly.

Who Is OneBooks GST For?

the product is used by five overlapping groups of Indian businesses and professionals:

  • E-commerce sellers who sell through one or more online marketplaces and need marketplace order data converted into GSTR-1 filings each period.
  • Accountants and CA firms who prepare returns for multiple clients and need a consistent, repeatable way to bring in marketplace and bank data across GSTINs.
  • Traders who combine offline and online sales and need a single place to reconcile GST outputs.
  • Distributors managing invoicing and GST documentation across supply relationships.
  • SMEs that want GST invoicing, bank statement handling, and return preparation without maintaining separate spreadsheets for each.

What Does OneBooks GST Do Today?

The capabilities below are available in OneBooks GST today, as distinct from planned roadmap items covered further down this page.

Which marketplaces does OneBooks GST import sales from?

the software imports sales data from Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra, AJIO, and JioMart, and also accepts manual Excel/CSV uploads for marketplaces or sales channels without a direct import path. This import happens through the "Admin > Upload Files" workflow, and the resulting order data feeds into GSTR-1 preparation.

How does GSTR-1 preparation work in OneBooks GST?

Once sales data is imported, the tool assembles it into GSTR-1 sections: B2B supplies, B2C supplies, credit and debit notes, the HSN summary, and the document summary. Before filing, it surfaces validation warnings so mismatched or incomplete data can be corrected. This preparation work is visible under "Admin > Detailed Reports" and "Admin > GSTR-1 Details". For a closer look at this workflow, see GSTR-1 automation.

What does OneBooks GST export for filing and accounting?

OneBooks GST produces GSTR-1 JSON (for upload to the GST portal), plus CSV and Excel exports, and accounting-format exports to Tally XML, Miracle, and Profit NX. This lets a return prepared from marketplace data flow directly into whichever accounting software a business or its accountant already uses.

Does OneBooks GST handle invoicing and bank statements?

Yes. Under its accounting software capabilities, the platform supports GST invoicing and direct invoice entry, including invoice PDFs and templates, plus a mobile sales invoice option. Separately, its bank statement parser reads uploaded PDF or Excel bank statements and converts them into dated transaction rows with ledger mapping, producing accounting-ready exports, available under "Admin > Bank Statements".

What else does OneBooks GST include beyond filing and invoicing?

Alongside GSTR-1 preparation and invoicing, the product includes subscription billing through Razorpay, a CRM, support ticketing, WhatsApp messaging, and a mobile sales invoice option. These are operational features that sit around the core GST and accounting workflow rather than replacing it: for example, WhatsApp messaging can be used to share invoices or payment reminders, and support tickets provide a channel for resolving filing or import issues directly within the platform.

How Does Multi-GSTIN and Multi-Organisation Work in OneBooks GST?

OneBooks GST supports multiple organisations and multiple GSTINs within one account, with users, roles, and permissions configured per organisation. This is built for accountants and CA firms managing several clients, and for businesses registered under more than one GSTIN across different states, since each GSTIN generally requires its own GSTR-1. Rather than logging into separate accounts, a firm can switch between organisations and manage GSTR-1 preparation, marketplace imports, and bank statements for each registration from the same platform, with access controlled by user roles and permissions.

How do user roles and permissions work across organisations?

Each organisation within an the software account can have its own set of users, with permissions that determine what a given user can view or edit, such as uploading marketplace files, preparing GSTR-1, or accessing bank statement data. This structure is what allows a CA firm to give a client's staff limited access to their own GSTIN's data while keeping the firm's own team able to work across all client organisations they manage. It also means an SME with a single GSTIN can still separate duties internally, for example letting one user handle marketplace uploads while another reviews GSTR-1 validation warnings before filing.

How Do You Get Started With OneBooks GST?

A typical first cycle in OneBooks GST follows the admin workflow the platform is organised around: sales data is brought in through "Admin > Upload Files" for each connected marketplace or via Excel/CSV, the resulting order data is reviewed under "Admin > Detailed Reports", GSTR-1 sections are assembled and checked under "Admin > GSTR-1 Details" with validation warnings surfaced for anything incomplete, and bank statements are uploaded separately under "Admin > Bank Statements" for ledger mapping. Businesses evaluating the platform can review current OneBooks GST plans or reach out through support with questions about a specific marketplace or GSTIN setup before committing.

What Is on the OneBooks GST Roadmap?

The following capabilities are planned, not yet available, and should not be treated as current features:

  • Full double-entry accounting — chart of accounts, vouchers, ledgers, receivables and payables, profit and loss statement, and balance sheet.
  • Inventory management — item master, SKU tracking, HSN/SAC-linked stock records, stock ledger, warehouse-level tracking, and stock valuation.

Both are described here as roadmap items because they are planned additions, not shipped functionality. If either is critical to your evaluation today, confirm current availability with the tool support before assuming it is live. For related planning today, see inventory software and accounting software for what the platform offers now versus what is planned.
