Example shop: a cosmetics shop with lipsticks in 20 shades, creams in two sizes, and many small items with barcodes. Beauty promoters bring customers and get a discount, and the owner also wants to sell on Instagram.
Do the Getting started steps first.
Which features should a cosmetics shop turn on?
| Feature | Setting | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Variants | On | Shades and sizes of one product, each with its own stock. |
| Barcode / QR code | On | Almost every item has a barcode. Scanning is faster and avoids mistakes. |
| Product Line Discount | On | Give a discount on a single item during a promotion. |
How do I add a lipstick that comes in many shades?
- Add the product (e.g. "Matte Lipstick") with its cost and sale price.
- Tap Add Variant for each shade. Enter its name and Stock.
- Scan each shade's own barcode into Variant Barcode. Add a Variant Image of the colour.
- Save. At the counter, scanning the barcode picks the right shade automatically.
How do I organise hundreds of small items?
Give each product a Category (Lips, Eyes, Skin Care, Hair…) and Tags such as brand names. This keeps your product list easy to browse.
How do I give a discount to beauty promoters?
- Add each promoter under Manage → Promoter.
- On products, set the Promoter discount (under Show more details).
How do I give a discount on one item during a sale?
Turn on Product Line Discount. On the Sale Invoice, enter the Discount on that line only.
How do I sell my cosmetics online?
Follow the online store steps in the Garments e-commerce store guide. Clear product photos matter even more for cosmetics, so add a photo for each shade.
