Do I Need a GSTIN Number to Start My Online Store?

When launching your store, you can sell with GSTIN or without GSTIN. Both are possible. Let’s see how it works.

What is a GSTIN Number?

GSTIN (Goods & Services Tax Identification Number) is a 15-digit number given to registered businesses.

• Needed if your yearly sales are above ₹40 lakhs.
• Not required when you are small or just starting.
• Having GSTIN gives you more benefits like tax savings and trust.

How to Add GSTIN or Sell Without It

After you launch your store, you can manage GST options anytime.

With GSTIN:

• Open the Store Owner Dashboard (click Store Owner Login or Get Started on the home page).
• Go to Settings → My Account.
• Click the icon after I do not have a GST.
• Enter your GSTIN and click Verify.

Without GSTIN:

• Go to Settings → My Account.
• Turn on the "Convert to an Affiliate Status" to sell without GSTIN.
• Your store will now use Wcommerce GST, so you can sell all over India.

Benefits of Having a GSTIN

• Sell all over India under your own GST.
• Save money with Input Tax Credit (ITC).
• Build more trust with customers.

Example of Input Tax Credit (ITC)

If you have a GSTIN, you can benefit from ITC:

• Example: You buy ₹10,000 worth of ingredients and pay ₹1,000 GST. You sell health, beauty & family products for ₹20,000 and collect ₹2,000 GST.
• Without ITC: You pay the full ₹2,000 GST to the government.
• With ITC: You subtract the ₹1,000 GST you already paid and only need to pay ₹1,000, saving money.

Here’s a comparison table for Having a GSTIN vs Not Having a GSTIN:

To register for a GSTIN number, visit the GST Registration - GST Portal and create your GSTIN to unlock various benefits.

Conclusion: GSTIN or No GSTIN—Both Work

• With GSTIN → Best for nationwide sales + tax savings.
• Without GSTIN → Fine for local selling.
• Affiliate Status → Best if you don’t have GSTIN but still want to sell nationwide.

Choose what fits your store today—both paths work.
