Sell a product at checkout

The colour is done, the client loves it, and she asks what you used. The difference between a good salon and a great one is often just whether that question turns into a sale before she reaches the door — and whether it takes thirty seconds or two minutes.

Two taps

In the checkout, press Product — it sits beside Service, Fee and Appointment — and a searchable list of everything you sell opens. Search by name, SKU or barcode, tap it, and it's on the bill at its retail price.

If you use a scanner, that's the same box: scanning types the barcode and the product comes up.

Then carry on as normal. The retail line behaves like any other on the bill: the total updates, tips are worked out on it, and it settles with whatever payment method the client uses.

Who it counts for

Every line on a sale carries a staff member, and the Staff picker on the line is what decides whose numbers it lands in. For retail that matters more than for services, because the person who recommended the product often isn't the person standing at the till.

Whether a product pays commission at all is a switch on the product itself; how much is a payroll question. Both live elsewhere on purpose — at the till, the only thing to get right is the name on the line.

What it does to your stock

For anything with inventory tracked, selling it moves the stock. The on-hand count drops and a movement is written against the product, so the shelf figure and the sales figure never drift apart.

Products without tracking — a service kit, something you buy to order — sell perfectly well and simply don't have a count to move.
