What is your business model? How are you planning to generate revenue?

Right now, we have a subscription plan of ~$15 per user per annum for Desktop users and the mobile version is free. We also charge a commission fee on the transactions made through the payment gateway.

My brother is using Vypaar App. How is different from Vypaar app?

Also how much commission fee will you charge?

We designed the entire workflows from the perspective of the business owner/founder (someone with 0 accounting knowledge just like us) and that differentiates us from the competition.

Adding one more question to this list: what about those who don’t use WhatsApp? The website says “share invoices over WhatsApp and email”, which I take as native support or integrations for these modes.

WhatsApp is the main form of communication in India, both personal and business.

GP here. I’m located in India and know about the prevalence of WhatsApp. However, I don’t use it and I know many people who don’t use it. Hence the question related to integrations (and wanting to know if other integrations are planned).

You're in a tiny minority then, and it wouldn't hurt startups if a small segment is untargetable. In fact, they shouldn't worry about it for now.

Right, most of our present customers use WhatsApp.
Re:Launch HN: Swipe (YC S21) – Simple Billing and Accounting... by sri-teja on Wednesday July 28, 2021 @06:12AM (#27982141)
Yes, they can share the bills directly from the platform. For the users who don't use WhatsApp for their business, they can either send emails or we have an option to print/download these bills and give it to their customers.

I should’ve worded my question more comprehensively. Any plans for integrations with other platforms?
