Products and POS

Add a product

Create a product for retail, internal use, or both.

Scan a barcode to add a product

Scan a product barcode, confirm the details Cobbtree finds, then save it as yours.

Use a barcode scanner with Cobbtree

USB and Bluetooth scanners type the barcode, then press Enter.

Why Cobbtree couldn't find a barcode

Unknown barcodes can still be saved. Public databases do not know every salon product.

Resolve transfer differences

Sell products at POS

Add retail lines to a till sale and take payment.

Manage product availability by location

Stock is tracked per location, so one salon can be in stock while another is not.

Turn on your own gift-card programme. Cards belong to your business, not Cobbtree.

Sell gift cards in POS

Add a Gift Card line on the till and take card, cash or split tender.

Manage sold gift cards

Extend a gift card

Authorised staff can lengthen expiry. Ordinary edits cannot shorten it.

Adjust a gift card

Add or remove value with a reason. Silent balance edits are blocked.

Gift-card refunds

Refund value back onto the same business gift card where the original sale used it.

Understand gift-card balances

Sales, outstanding liability and redemptions are separate numbers.

Gift-card commission

Cobbtree charges commission when the gift card is purchased, not when it is redeemed.
