Beauty Industry Glossary

A sales model where the client pays upfront for a fixed number of sessions (e.g., 10 facial treatments), then redeems one per visit. Common in Asian SPAs, skincare, slimming, and beauty studios.

A fixed cash bonus paid to a beautician for each execution of a specific service — separate from percentage-based commission. Counts toward salary but not toward shop revenue.

A promotional credit issued by the shop, redeemed against future services. Settles the customer's bill but does NOT count toward shop revenue or beautician performance.

MeiYe Zhan's revenue-recognition model: performance is credited to the beautician on the day the customer pays cash. Unpaid balances are credited only when paid back later.

When multiple beauticians work on one service, one is designated as main and any number can be supports with independently configurable percentage shares (total ≤ 100%).

Goods the customer has paid for but is keeping at the shop for later pickup. Inventory is decremented only at pickup; the client's account reflects "awaiting collection".

Recording payment for debts a customer accumulated before adopting MeiYe Zhan. Counts toward cash collection but NOT toward performance — prevents inflated performance via backfilling pre-system history.

A tag attached to a customer that auto-applies a discount rate (e.g., VIP = 10% off) to every service or product they buy. Multiple tiers configurable.

A self-service flow for a beautician moving from one MeiYe Zhan shop to another. The original shop's historical records remain intact; the new shop sends an invite link; the beautician clicks to join.

A beauty franchise store's customer, revenue, and payroll data fully belongs to the franchise owner — you decide who sees what, and can export it all completely at any time. Ownership + access control + portability, all three at once.
