FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do salon loyalty programs work for cosmetic brands?

Salons earn points on verified purchases (invoice or QR), unlock professional-range benefits, training and equipment rewards — building switching costs against competitor poaching.

Why do cosmetics brands need anti-counterfeit QR?

Beauty is among India's most counterfeited categories. Per-unit QR lets consumers verify authenticity instantly, protecting both revenue and the brand-safety reputation premium SKUs depend on.

Can beauty advisor incentives be automated?

Yes — geo-verified attendance, daily sales reporting and verified-sales incentives paid weekly via UPI, plus reward-linked product training in regional languages.
