Updated Apr 13, 20261 min read

GST Pro offers two operating modes: Default Mode and Invoice Only Mode.
Choosing the right mode ensures you get the expected features and functionality.

Default Mode is the standard and fully featured setup of GST Pro.

What You Get

  • Full GST-compliant invoice generation

  • Access to all GST Pro features

When to Use

Use Default Mode if you want:

  • Complete GST compliance

Invoice Only Mode

Invoice Only Mode is a limited functionality mode.

In this mode, GST Pro simply uses Shopify’s order data to generate basic invoices.
