Sales, categories and inventory
Example: salon using sales categories
A practical example for salons and service businesses.
A salon may earn money from both services and products.
Suggested sales categories
- Hair services
- Nail services
- Beauty products
- Other services
Normal sale example
A customer pays for hair styling. This can be recorded as a normal sale under Hair services because no stock item needs to reduce.
Sell from inventory example
A customer buys a bottle of shampoo. If shampoo is tracked in inventory, use Sell from inventory and select the shampoo item. The sales category can be Beauty products.
Main benefit
The salon can separate service income from product income, while also tracking products that are sold from stock.
