A POS for makeup and perfume stores: testers, gift cards and stock
Zero POS is the point of sale for makeup and perfume stores. Every bottle on the tester shelf was stock once, so it comes off the day it’s opened; gift cards are spent bit by bit, and each shop’s count stays honest.

The tester shelf
Every tester opened is a bottle off stock
A fragrance counter opens testers all year, and each one is a sale it will never make. Record them as you go and the shelf count stays right.
Recorded the day it’s opened
Choose Tester, scan the barcode or search the name, and add a note such as “new launch on the counter”. The unit leaves that shop’s stock at once.
Broken in the box
A bottle that arrives cracked is marked defective on the same screen, with a note. Nothing is charged and the day’s takings don’t change.
What the testers cost you
Testers and write-offs sit in the Stock Movements report beside sales and transfers, so you can see what went on the counter, and why.
Gift cards
The present for someone hard to buy for
The giver picks the amount, the person who receives it picks the scent. A gift card works the same way in Zero POS.
Any amount, its own code
Tap Gift card on the sale, choose an amount or type one, and print the slip. Its code is printed once, with the expiry you set.
Spent over several visits
Type the code at payment: the card pays what it holds, another method takes the rest, and what’s left stays on the card.
A sale on the day it’s sold
Each card counts as revenue the day it’s sold and earns commission for whoever sold it. A report shows what your shops still owe on cards.
How it works
Across your shops
Every shade and size, counted at every shop
Each shade of a foundation and each size of a fragrance is its own product, with its own barcode, price and count at every shop.
Scan at the till
Add each product’s barcode and switch on barcode scanning: the till gets a Scan button; the tester screen already has one.
Counted blind
A stock-take hides what the system expects, so the number typed is what’s on the shelf. The variance report shows what comes up short, count after count.
Reorders, split by shop
The reorder list shows what is at or below its minimum at each shop. Tick the rows, and a purchase order opens already filled in.
Your catalogue, imported
Bring your product list in from a spreadsheet with a preview first, or send it to us and we import it for you, free during early access.
At a busy counter
A set put aside in November, a queue in December
The weeks before Christmas bring the gift rush. The till keeps up.
Walk-ins welcome
Allow walk-ins and a lipstick sells without a name. Name the customer when it’s worth it: a receipt by email, points, a history.
Two sellers, one sale
Share a sale between the two people who served, evenly, by percentage or by amount. Each one’s commission follows their share.
Gift sets on layaway
Put a set aside with a deposit. Any seller in the region takes the next payment, and it’s handed over once it’s paid for.
