An appointment diary
Who is coming, when, for what, and with whom. Bookings sit against the staff member, so double-booking a stylist is not possible by accident.
POS software for salons and beauty parlours
A salon sells time as much as it sells product. Codipy POS keeps the diary, records who did the work on each line of the bill, and works out that stylist's commission from it — not from whoever happened to be at the till.
The first question at a salon counter is not "how much" — it is "kitne baje ka time hai?" A till that cannot answer that is not running the shop; it is just printing receipts for a business being managed on a paper diary and a phone. And when the paper diary and the phone disagree, somebody sits waiting.
The second problem is commission. The haircut belongs to the stylist who did it, not to the person standing at the till, and a salon that pays commission off the invoice's cashier pays the wrong people. Codipy POS records the staff member on the sale line, so commission is worked out from the actual work.
Built for the way a salon actually trades
Choose this business type during setup and these are the modules Codipy switches on for you.
Commission per stylist, per line
The person who did the work is recorded on the line, and earns a percentage of that line. A bill with a cut by one stylist and colour by another pays both correctly.
Service billing without a stock figure
Services are not stocked, so a sale is never refused for having none left. Retail products — shampoo, serum — remain ordinary stock at the same counter.
Packages and repeat clients
Customers carry their history, so a regular's usual service and their past visits are on screen when they walk in.
Reminders over WhatsApp
Appointment reminders and birthday messages go from the software, which is where the client's number already is.
Staff accountability
Every transaction is signed with a staff serial and PIN, and permissions decide who can discount, who can refund and who can see the day's takings.
A day at your counter
Morning
Open the diary. Today's bookings by stylist, with the gaps visible — which is what turns a phone call into a booking rather than a "call back later".
A client arrives
Open their appointment, add the services actually done, and set the stylist on each line.
Retail at the same counter
Add the shampoo to the same bill. It comes off stock; the service does not. One payment, one receipt.
A walk-in
Book them into the first free slot in the diary, or bill directly if somebody is free now.
Closing
Day Close with takings by service, by stylist and by staff member — and the commission each has earned that day, calculated rather than estimated.

Questions we get asked
Does it keep an appointment diary?
Yes. Bookings record who is coming, when, for what and with which staff member, and they sit against that person so two clients cannot be booked into the same stylist at the same time.
How is stylist commission calculated?
From the sale line, not the invoice. Each line records who did that work and earns them a percentage of it, so a bill covering two stylists pays both correctly.
Can I sell products as well as services?
Yes, on the same bill. Services are not stocked and never block a sale; retail products are ordinary stock with their own counts and reorder alerts.
Can I send appointment reminders?
Yes, over WhatsApp, from the same software that holds the booking and the number — including birthday messages if you want them.
Can I stop staff from seeing the day's total?
Yes. Permissions are granular, so you decide who may discount, who may refund, and who can see takings or cost prices at all.
