What Bottle is
Bottle runs the paperwork behind a bottled gas round: who your customers are, what went out on the vehicle, and getting the invoice raised without sitting down at 10pm to do it.
Where to start
Section titled “Where to start”If you are setting up for the first time, work through these in order.
- Starting a business puts you in as its owner.
- Adding your people invites your drivers and whoever does the books.
- Customers is where the round comes from.
Connecting other software
Section titled “Connecting other software”Stripe for taking payment, Xero for the books, Shopify or WooCommerce for a shop you already run, Claude or ChatGPT to ask questions of it all. Connecting other software says what each does and does not do, and where to set it up.
For everybody
Section titled “For everybody”Bottle works with screen readers, bigger text, the keyboard alone and reduced motion, in light or dark, on the web and in the driver apps. Accessibility and appearance says what is supported and how to choose light or dark.
