Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example black soap (bar), body butter (jar) and liquid soap (5L), and services like soap making class and private label production. Suggestions for a soap & cosmetics making come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by bar, jar, bottle, litre and kg. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch.
