1. How to log in

↑ Top
  1. Open your product link (for example bizsuite.digitsparx.com/salonpro/).
  2. Enter your Business ID – Digit Sparx gives it to you (for the demo: demo-salonpro).
  3. Enter Username and Password → Login. Press the 👁 eye button to see the password.

  5. After 5 wrong passwords, login is paused for 15 minutes (for security).
Tip: Never share your password. Create a separate user for each staff member.

2. First-day setup (only once)

↑ Top
  1. Open Business Settings: shop name, address, phone, GSTIN, state, logo, bank / UPI details and bill terms → Save. All of this prints on every bill.
  2. Create Categories – for example "Mobiles", "Accessories" or "Starters".
  3. Add your items / products (see the product section below).
  4. Add Suppliers and your existing Customers. If a customer already owes money, enter it as Opening balance.
  5. Create separate logins for staff in Users & Roles (Manager, Cashier…). Each role only sees the pages it needs.

3. Services, staff and packages

↑ Top
  1. Services: name, price, time (minutes), men / women.
  2. Staff & Stylists: name and commission %.
  3. Packages & Memberships: e.g. "5 haircut pack" or "10% off membership".

4. Appointments

↑ Top
  1. New Appointment: client, date, time, stylist, services → Book. A stylist cannot get two appointments at the same time.
  2. Appointment Calendar has one column per stylist. Every appointment has a WhatsApp reminder button.
  3. When the client arrives: Mark checked in.

5. Making the bill

↑ Top
  1. Open the appointment → Complete & bill: services and stylist are pre-filled; the membership discount applies automatically.
  2. If shampoo / serum was sold, add it too → Save.
  3. Without an appointment: New Bill.

6. Selling and using packages

↑ Top
  1. Packages & Memberships → Sell (a bill is created).
  2. Customer Packages → open the client → Redeem reduces one service (no new bill).
  3. Commission Report: work done and commission of every stylist.

7. Payments, credit (khata) and advances

↑ Top
  1. While billing choose the payment mode: Cash, UPI, Card, Bank, Cheque. Part cash + part UPI? Press "Split payment".
  2. Not fully paid? Enter what you received – the rest becomes credit (udhaar). A customer must be selected; walk-in customers must pay in full.
  3. Money received later: Payments → Receive → choose customer / bill → amount → Save. The receipt number is automatic.
  4. Customer paid an advance: Payments → Receive → do not choose a bill (on account). On the next bill tick "Use advance / credit".
  5. Use the WhatsApp reminder button on the customer page to remind them about dues.

8. Wrong bill, returns and cancellation

↑ Top
  1. A saved bill is never deleted (GST rule). If there is a mistake, open the bill → "Cancel document" → write the reason.
  2. If the bill already has a payment, first Void that payment in Payments, then cancel the bill.
  3. Customer returns goods: open the bill → "Return items (credit note)" → quantity returned → refund (cash / UPI) or keep as credit. Stock comes back automatically.

9. Print, PDF and WhatsApp

↑ Top
  1. After saving, the bill page opens. Print = A4 print, PDF = download, WhatsApp = message to the customer.

↑ Top
  1. Open Reports → choose the report (Sales summary, Item-wise, GST, Collections, Outstanding, Expenses…).
  2. Press Today / This week / This month / This year or enter your own dates.
  3. Collections = how much cash / UPI / card each cashier received – match it with the cash drawer every evening.
  4. Every report has Export CSV – it opens in Excel and can be sent to your CA.
  5. Remember: "Sales" is turnover, not profit. "Profit (estimate)" is only an estimate from purchase prices.

  2. During the day: make bills; enter a Purchase when goods arrive.
