Price Checks!

I need a way to scan my barcodes directly from the appointment screen for the sole purpose of price checks -> right now, I am having to pretend I'm going through a full check out process just to give guests a number, and it is incredibly cumbersome.

Have you tried just doing this through the purchase tab on the side of phorest as a walk-in to give them the product price? Alternatively maybe you need a price list to accompany the products on the shelf. Our retail brands have price lists with each product and price that sits on the shelf with our retail units. It’s a great quick way to give them the price.

Luke Perger Yes; it takes too long because I can't simply scan the barcode -> I have to input a Client as if they are purchasing first, then select an employee then select the product tab button, then I am allowed to scan....It's too long, by the time I've done all this, the client is disinterested.
-> we have farrrr too many products to be applying hand-written notes to each one; especially when the prices inevitably change...! FAR too much hassle; Phorest used to have a price check feature from which you could continue from the pop up window to either a professional deduction page or to the purchase screen and the price-checked item would then start the ticket; so seamless.

Maria Hefte does your front desk have access to inventory under Manager? You could go to inventory and scan it to see the price.

We bought a usb scanner which works great for this. It goes right into the purchase line as an item. If the client doesn't want to add it, we x it out.

Holly Walters Yes, we have a scanner; the problem is, I can't see any prices until I go through the full process of creating a purchase ticket first; not all clients intend on purchasing, they're just browsing and I need something that is more of a pop-up windown -> the old screen had this feature.
