Consumable Products

Consumables include everyday items used during treatments, such as gloves and syringes. These are essential for maintaining smooth operations, and Pabau helps you keep track of stock levels to avoid shortages.

In Pabau, you can link consumable products to services so that these items are automatically deducted from your inventory when the service is performed. For details on setting up automatic consumption, check out this article.

You can also manually deduct the product at the point of sale if it’s not set up for automatic consumption with the service. For more information on how you can add consumable products in the point of sale, review this article. 



Injectable Products

Injectables are the products used in procedures like Botox or Restylane injections. You can set up injectables in Pabau and add all necessary details like the standard unit by which the amount of filler or Botox is measured, the total number of ml available for the products, and more.

You can also mark injection points in the treatment notes for clients. This feature allows you to clearly indicate the exact areas where Botox or filler was injected, providing a detailed and visual reference for future treatments and follow-ups.

Retail Products

Retail products are items sold directly to clients, such as skincare products or wellness supplements. Pabau assists in managing these products to monitor stock, track sales, and maximize your retail revenue.

In Pabau, you can sell products from the point of sale, which makes managing your retail sales quick and easy.
