Why not just use a free billing app?
A free app is fine to start with. As a shop grows it usually needs things a free app does not promise: a backup server if the main one fails, Google Drive backup, staff logins with their own permissions, an audit log of every change, and someone to ask when something goes wrong. ShineDesk includes all of these, and the trial lets you see them before you decide.
