Most Tally SMS modules on the market charge an annual licence before you send a single message, and then SMS costs come on top. The Fast2SMS Tally SMS plugin flips that: the plugin is completely free, forever, and you pay only the per-SMS rate from your own wallet. It sends invoices, receipts, payments and outstanding reminders as DLT-compliant SMS straight from TallyPrime, with the invoice PDF auto-converted into a short link inside the message. Here is the full setup, step by step.<\/p>\n

The clever part for invoices: SMS cannot carry a file, so the plugin uploads the invoice PDF and converts it into a short URL inside the SMS. Your customer taps the link and the invoice opens in the browser, no WhatsApp needed, works on every phone.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Install the plugin<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Download the plugin<\/a> and copy the .TCP file into your TallyPrime folder as a Local TDL, or load it as an Account TDL via Tally.NET.<\/li>\n
  2. Press F1: Help > TDLs & Add-ons > F6: Add-On Features<\/strong> and set Enable Fast2SMS SMS Module to Yes (visible to the administrator only).<\/li>\n
  3. Paste your API key from the Fast2SMS panel’s Dev API section into the plugin’s API Key Update screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n \"Enabling
    Enable the SMS module and the Fast2SMS.com menu appears on the Gateway of Tally.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Step 2: Open the Tally to SMS menu<\/h2>\n
    \n \"Tally
    Everything SMS lives here: settings, templates, delivery report, import and update mobile numbers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Step 3: DLT sender ID and templates<\/h2>\n

    Business SMS in India runs on DLT: your sender ID and message templates registered once on a DLT portal, as TRAI requires. Fast2SMS gives free DLT support<\/a> and the plugin carries a DLT Registration shortcut right inside the template screen. New to this? The DLT guide in plain English<\/a> explains the whole system.<\/p>\n

    Set your sender ID<\/strong> in Tally to SMS > SMS Setting:<\/p>\n

    \n \"SMS
    Your DLT approved sender ID goes here once.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Enter your message IDs<\/strong> in Tally to SMS > SMS Templates. Approve the eight templates on Fast2SMS (View Sample Templates shows ready wording you can submit for DLT), then paste each approved message ID against its type:<\/p>\n

    \n \"Enter
    One message ID per template type; sample templates and DLT registration are one key away.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
    \n \"SMS
    A filled template screen: every voucher type mapped to an approved message ID.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Step 4: Customer mobile numbers<\/h2>\n

    Add the number in each customer’s ledger master, update the whole debtor group at once from Update Mobile Numbers<\/strong>, or import from Excel with the sample file under Import Mobile Numbers<\/strong>. One import and your full ledger list is SMS-ready.<\/p>\n

    Step 5: Send<\/h2>\n

    Every mapped voucher screen now carries a send button, with a preview of the message and the customer’s number before it goes out:<\/p>\n

    \n \"SMS
    The SMS carries the invoice details and a short link that opens the PDF.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    And if you enable the WhatsApp module in the same plugin, the invoice goes out there too, PDF attached as a document:<\/p>\n

    \n \"Sample
    Same plugin, second channel: the WhatsApp version arrives with the invoice PDF attached.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
