Expiry surfaced early, not buried
The cosmetics preset switches on expiry tracking by default and puts near-expiry stock second on your dashboard, right after today's sales — so ageing stock gets noticed before it becomes a write-off.
Cosmetics & beauty
Billing, expiry tracking & khata for cosmetics stores
Skincare and makeup carry an expiry date that matters as much as the price tag. Pick "Cosmetics / beauty" as your store type in StockMitra and expiry tracking, categories and the dashboard adjust to match — GST billing and khata alongside.
Categories for Skincare & Makeup
Setup pre-fills Skincare and Makeup categories alongside General, matching how a beauty counter is already organised instead of starting from one flat list.
Standard reorder alerts, no surprises
Cosmetics uses the same 5-unit low-stock alert as a general store — what changes for this store type is expiry visibility, not the reorder threshold, so you know exactly what to expect.
Khata for regular customers
Repeat beauty-counter customers often prefer to settle up monthly. StockMitra's khata keeps a running balance per customer, linked to the bill, with a one-tap WhatsApp reminder when it's due.
GST billing that keeps up with the counter
Create GST-ready bills with PDF invoices at counter speed, without switching between a billing app and a separate stock register for near-expiry checks.
