- Short answer
- A Shopify App Store GST app: Shopify doesn't create a GST-compliant bill, and five of six listings we read on October 17, 2026 claim GSTR-1.
- Shopify itself
- Doesn't file or remit your GST; its Taxes report is tax data, not a return
- IRN wording
- Of six listings, only GST india : GST Invoice names IRN; ask others whether e-invoices carry IRN and QR code
- E-invoicing
- In the four listings that name it, on paid plans or a separate charge; needed only above a turnover threshold
- Listing claims
- Six listings read October 17, 2026; each vendor's own, untested by us; ratings and prices change
Does Shopify make GST invoices or GSTR reports itself?
For the invoice, Shopify's help page for Indian merchants answers directly and names the way out:
No. Shopify doesn't create a GST-compliant bill. To create a GST-compliant bill, use a local third-party GST invoicing service or an app from the Shopify App Store.
Shopify's Taxes report lists each tax type, its rate and the total charged: tax data, not an invoice or a return. None of the Shopify pages we read on October 17, 2026 — GST in India, tax reports, Data Exporter, Shopify Tax and Order Printer — describes a report or export for India's GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B.
Which App Store apps claim GST invoices and GSTR-1 data?
We found six GST listings on the Shopify App Store on October 17, 2026 — a snapshot, not the full list; every claim is the vendor's own, untested by us. Five of six listings claim GSTR-1 reports; Ledgify: GST & Billing doesn't name GSTR-1.

What should you check before you pick a GST app?
Hold each shortlisted app against what GST rules ask of its documents:
- E-invoicing. If your turnover puts you under e-invoicing, each e-invoice carries a QR code with its IRN; in the table, the four listings that name e-invoicing put it on paid plans or a separate charge.
- Invoice fields. Rule 46 of the CGST Rules wants your GSTIN, the buyer's GSTIN if registered, the HSN code, the central, State or integrated tax charged and, for inter-State supplies, the place of supply. Shopify can't set multiple tax line items, so the split has to come from the app.
- HSN digits. Notification 78/2020-Central Tax sets 4 HSN digits up to Rs 5 crore of aggregate turnover in the previous financial year and 6 above; up to that line, invoices to unregistered buyers may skip them. Shopify's HS tariff code field, suggested for HSN, requires at least 6 digits — ask where the app reads HSN from.
- GSTR-1 data. Rule 59(4) has GSTR-1 carry invoice-level details for registered buyers and large inter-State consumer sales, consolidated other consumer sales, and debit and credit notes. Since May 2025 the HSN summary is split into B2B and B2C, and Table 13 is compulsory once Tables 4–10, 14 or 15 hold data.
- Filing route. The GST portal takes GSTR-1 entered online, as JSON from the Returns Offline Tool, or from a software provider through a GST Suvidha Provider — ask which route the export feeds.
