Sign up & choose a plan
The four-step sign-up wizard, what each field must contain, how payment works, and what happens if the payment does not go through.
Sign-up takes a few minutes at /signup. Your business workspace is created the moment you submit the form; the plan is activated as soon as your first payment succeeds.
Before you start#
Have the items from Prerequisites ready, particularly a mobile number and email that are not already used by another Kapda Stock business.
The wizard#
The form has four steps, shown as a progress bar at the top. You can click a completed step to go back to it.
-
Choose plan
Pick Growth or Professional, and use the toggle to choose monthly or yearly billing. Every feature is in every plan — only the limits differ. Enterprise is not offered here; contact sales for it. You can change plan or cycle later from Billing.
-
Your business
- Business name — 2–120 characters.
- Business username — your login name, 3–30 lowercase letters/numbers starting with a letter. The form checks availability live. Leave it blank and one is generated from your business name (with a number appended if that name is taken). Choose carefully: this is what every team member types at login.
- Owner name — 2–80 characters.
- Phone — 10 digits starting 6–9; the +91 is added for you. The form checks that the number is not already registered.
-
Billing details
Legal name, billing address, city, state, 6-digit PIN code and an optional GSTIN. These appear on your subscription invoices and can be edited later from Billing.
-
Your account
- Email — the address you will sign in with.
- Password — the form shows four checks that must all turn green: 12+ characters, one uppercase letter, one number, one special character.
- Coupon code and Referral code (both optional). A coupon's discount is applied at checkout; the exact discounted amount is shown before you pay.
- The security code (captcha) — type the characters shown. A new code is issued after every failed attempt.
- Tick I accept the Terms of Service, then submit.
What happens when you submit#
- Your workspace is created and pre-loaded with the five roles, the textile HSN code table (5001–6310), three invoice templates (Modern, Classic, Minimal) and ten product categories (Sarees, Suits & Dress Material, Shawls & Stoles, Fabrics (Unstitched), Menswear, Womenswear, Kidswear, Bedding & Linen, Curtains & Upholstery, Accessories).
- Your owner account is created with the Owner role and you are signed in immediately.
- A welcome email ("Welcome to Kapda Stock, your business!") and, where the platform's WhatsApp channel is configured, a welcome WhatsApp message are sent with your login link:
/app/login?business=followed by your username. - The Razorpay checkout opens for the plan and cycle you chose, showing the net price, GST and the total payable.
Paying#
Pay by card, UPI or net banking inside the Razorpay window. When the payment is confirmed the page shows a success message and takes you to the dashboard a couple of seconds later. A receipt PDF is available from Billing.
If the payment is not completed#
If you close the window, the payment fails, or the session times out, your account still exists — only the plan is not active yet. The app takes you to Billing (/app/billing), where you can start a fresh payment at any time. Signing in later leads to the same place.
"This email already has an account"#
Submitting the form with an email that already owns a business shows a message instead of an error, with a link to sign in. This most often happens when someone signed up earlier but never completed payment.
