How to sell more Dropship products by adding them at checkout

One of the biggest challenges with recommending professional products is that your client may love the recommendation in the salon, but once they leave, the likelihood of them remembering to purchase later decreases.

You may have experienced this before:

• Your client is interested in a product.
• You send them a Dropship link after their appointment.
• They intend to purchase, but never get around to clicking the link.

With HUSL, you can remove that extra step and close the sale before your client walks out the door.

Instead of relying on your client to purchase later, you can add the Dropship product directly into their checkout while they are still in your chair.

Your client can pay for everything in one seamless transaction:

✅ Hair services
✅ In-salon retail products
✅ Dropship products delivered directly to their door

This creates a smoother experience for your client and gives you a better opportunity to convert your product recommendations into actual sales.

Pro Tip: The best time to sell a product is when your client is already sitting in your chair and trusts your recommendation. Adding the Dropship product directly into checkout helps you capture the sale while their interest is highest, instead of relying on them to purchase later.

How to add a Dropship product at checkout

HUSL allows you to add Dropship products at the point of sale alongside your services and physical retail products.

This means you don't need to hold the product in your salon, but you can still recommend, sell and earn commission on professional products your clients love.

Add Dropship products to your client's checkout

1. Open your client's appointment from the Calendar.
2. Tap Checkout.
3. HUSL will automatically take you to the Product Selection screen.
4. The default category selected will be Warehouse Products.
5. Swipe across to browse the available brands.
6. Tap the brand you would like to view.
7. Select the product you would like to Dropship to your client.

Once you select the product, you will see two options at the bottom of the product descriptions:

• My Stock – Use this if you physically have the product available in your salon.
• Dropship – Use this if the product will be shipped directly to your client.

Because you don't hold Dropship products in your salon:

1. Select Dropship.
2. Tap the + button to increase the quantity.
3. Tap Add Item to Cart.

You can continue adding additional Dropship products if required.

Once you are happy with your product selection:

1. Tap Go to Bill.

Completing the checkout

At the checkout screen, you will now see:

• Your hair services
• Any physical retail products from your salon stock
• Your Dropship products

Everything is combined into one checkout.

Shipping options

For Dropship products, your client will see the shipping options:

• Standard Shipping: $9.95
• Free Standard Shipping: When Dropship products total over $90
• Express Shipping: $12.99

To select Express Shipping:

1. Tap Update next to Standard Shipping.
2. Your client can choose Express Shipping if preferred.

Taking payment by card

If your client is paying by card and you have Stripe connected to HUSL:

1. Tap Complete Payment.
2. If your client has not purchased Dropship products before, HUSL will ask you to add their:
   • Delivery address
   • Optional delivery note for the courier
3. Tap Update.
4. Choose the payment option:

• Tap to Pay (if enabled) 
• Send Bill via SMS or Email

If using Tap to Pay, your client can simply tap on your phone their:

• Card
• Digital wallet
• Smart watch

Once payment is complete:

✅ Your services are paid
✅ Your in-salon retail is paid
✅ Your Dropship order is placed

Your client can now sit back and wait for their products to arrive directly at their door.

Receiving your Dropship commission

Once your client purchases a Dropship product, HUSL will send you an app notification confirming the sale (make sure you have enabled HUSL to send you notifications).

To invoice HUSL for your commission:

1. Tap the notification.
2. Follow the prompts.
3. Complete the process in just three taps (10 - 20 seconds)

Missed the notification?

No problem:

1. Tap the Bell icon in the top-right corner of the Home screen.
2. Open your General Notifications.
3. Tap the Dropship sale notification.
4. Follow the steps to invoice your commission.

What if my client wants to pay by cash, bank transfer or another offline payment?

Dropship products must be paid by card through Stripe.

If your client wants to pay for their services or physical retail using:

• Cash
• Bank transfer
• Custom offline payment ie Gift Voucher (if added via 'Payments' setting)

You will need to split the payment.

How to split the payment:

1. At checkout, tap Split/Other.
2. Select the payment method your client is using.
3. Complete the payment for:
   • Hair services
   • Physical retail products
4. Reconcile that payment.
5. HUSL will then prompt you to complete payment for the Dropship products using Stripe.

This ensures your client can use their preferred payment method while allowing the Dropship order to process correctly.

Tips for increasing Dropship sales

💡 Recommend products while your client is in your chair — this is when they trust your expertise most.

💡 Instead of sending a product link and hoping your client purchases later, add the product directly into checkout and close the sale immediately.

💡 Use Dropship to expand your retail offering without needing to invest in extra stock or store more products in your salon.

💡 Remember: your client receives the product directly, and you earn commission without holding inventory.
