Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from beauty store proprietors, cosmetics distributors, and salon retail managers.
How does OwnStore handle shade, color, and size variants for cosmetics products?
OwnStore features a multi-attribute variant matrix designed specifically for cosmetics and personal care retail. You can group foundations, lipsticks, concealers, and nail polishes under a single parent SKU with dedicated sub-variants for shade name/number (e.g., Warm Sand 128, Ruby Red 05) and bottle sizes (30ml, 50ml, 100ml) with unique barcodes for instant counter lookup.
Can OwnStore scan existing brand barcodes on cosmetics like Lakmé, Maybelline, and L'Oréal?
Yes. OwnStore integrates with all 1D and 2D laser and optical barcode scanners, as well as smartphone camera barcode scanning. It instantly recognizes standard manufacturer EAN-13, UPC, and QR barcodes found on branded cosmetics, eliminating manual product selection at checkout.
How does the software track expiry dates and shelf-life for organic skincare and makeup?
OwnStore tracks batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiration/Period-After-Opening (PAO) dates for every cosmetic SKU. You receive automated advance alerts (30, 60, and 90 days ahead) for expiring skincare creams, serums, and organic cosmetics so you can run promotional clearances before products expire.
Can I manage non-sale tester products and promotional free samples?
Yes. OwnStore includes a separate stock ledger for tester units, counter samples, and brand promotional gifts (GWP - Gift With Purchase). You can transfer stock from saleable inventory to tester stock with 1 click to keep accounting books accurate and prevent inventory leakage.
Does OwnStore support creating festival beauty combos and bridal gift hampers?
Yes. OwnStore includes a product bundling and kit management feature. You can create festival hampers, bridal makeup boxes, or skincare routines combining multiple items under a single discounted bundle price while automatically deducting individual components from warehouse stock.
How does OwnStore handle GST billing for cosmetics across 18% and 28% tax slabs?
Indian GST classifies beauty and personal care items across different brackets (such as 18% for everyday skincare, soaps, and shampoos, and 28% for luxury perfumes, hair styling tools, and premium cosmetics). OwnStore automatically applies the correct GST percentage and HSN code per item and generates CA-ready GSTR-1, GSTR-3B summaries in 1 click.
Can I send paperless WhatsApp bills and build customer loyalty points?
Yes. With OwnStore, cashiers can enter customer mobile numbers to instantly dispatch professional GST bills via WhatsApp. Customers accumulate loyalty reward points on repeat purchases (e.g., 5% cashback points), driving repeat footfall for high-margin skincare refills and seasonal makeup.
