Getting Started
What is adda.social?↓
adda.social is an all-in-one business platform built specifically for Indian content creators. It handles brand deal CRM, GST-compliant invoicing, UPI payment collection, TDS tracking, consultation booking, digital product sales, tip pages, paid DMs, and community memberships — all in one place.
Is adda.social free?↓

Do I need a GST number to use adda.social?↓
No. adda.social works for creators with and without GST registration. If you're not GST registered, invoices are generated without GST. If you are registered, you can add your GSTIN and we'll auto-calculate CGST/SGST/IGST correctly.
Payments & Billing
What payment methods are supported?↓
adda.social integrates with Razorpay, which supports UPI, credit/debit cards, net banking, and EMI. Your clients can pay via any of these methods from your payment links.
How does TDS work on adda.social?↓
When you create an invoice, you can select the applicable TDS section (194J for professional fees, 194C for contracts, 194R for benefits). adda.social automatically deducts TDS from the payable amount and shows the breakdown clearly on the invoice.
When do I get paid?↓
Payments go directly to your linked bank account via Razorpay. Settlement typically happens within T+2 business days. For UPI payments, settlement is usually faster.
Can I create invoices in Indian Rupees (₹)?↓
Yes, all invoices are in INR (₹). Amounts are stored in paise (the smallest Indian currency unit) for precision, and displayed in ₹ with proper formatting.
How does the Tip Jar work?↓
You can create a Tip Page with your own URL (e.g., adda.social/yourname/tip/jar). Fans visit the page, choose an amount, and pay via UPI or card. You get the money directly in your Razorpay account.
Brand Deals & Invoicing
How do I track a brand deal?↓
adda.social has a full brand deal CRM. You can add a deal with the brand name, amount, deliverables, and status (Lead → Negotiating → Confirmed → Delivered → Invoiced → Paid). You'll always know where every deal stands.
Can I send invoices directly from adda.social?↓
Yes. Once a deal is confirmed, you can create a GST-compliant invoice with line items, GST rates (0/5/12/18/28%), and TDS section. The invoice generates a Razorpay payment link that you can share with the brand.
What invoice formats are supported?↓
adda.social generates professional PDF invoices with your business details, GSTIN, PAN, line items, GST breakdown, and TDS deduction. All legally valid for Indian business purposes.
Privacy & Security
Who can see my data?↓
Only you can see your data. We use Supabase with Row Level Security (RLS) — every table is locked so that only the authenticated creator can access their own records. Our team cannot see your financial data.
Is my payment information secure?↓
We don't store card numbers or UPI PINs. All payment processing is handled by Razorpay (PCI DSS compliant). We only store payment metadata (amounts, status, reference IDs).
Can I delete my account?↓
Yes. Email support@adda.social to request account deletion. We'll delete all your personal data within 30 days of the request, in compliance with Indian data protection laws.
Technical
Is there a mobile app?↓
A mobile app is in development! For now, the web app is fully mobile-responsive and works great on phones. The mobile app will be available on iOS and Android soon.
Does adda.social work in Hindi?↓
Yes! adda.social supports both English and Hindi (हिंदी). Tip pages, community pages, and notifications can be configured in Hindi. We use Noto Sans Devanagari for proper Hindi typography.
What happens to my data if adda.social shuts down?↓
We will always provide a 90-day notice before any service discontinuation and provide data export tools so you can take everything with you. Your data belongs to you.
