Zylu allows you to manage both customer-facing and internal products. Products are used in billing, inventory tracking, and online selling through your Mini Website.
There are two types of products:
Sale Products – sold to customers, appear in billing and on the mini website.
Consumption Products – used internally, not sold or shown to customers.
In this article, we’ll explain how to add both types in detail with examples, tips, and best practices.
Products marked as “Sale” are shown on your Mini Website and are billed to customers.
Open the Zylu business app.
Tap on Manage → Inventory , then go to Products.
Click the + button at the bottom-right corner to add a new product.
If you're selling this product to customers, image is mandatory. This image will be shown on your Mini Website, so make sure it’s clear and professional.
Tip: If the product doesn't have an image, it will not appear on your Mini Website.
Type the name of the product as you want it to appear to your customers.
Example: Argan Oil Shampoo
Select the category that best fits your product. This makes it easier to find during billing and helps customers browse products more easily on the Mini Website.
Example: Hair Care
Choose “Sale” to make sure the product appears on your Mini Website and can be billed to customers.
This is optional but helpful for organizing your inventory.
Example: Nature Essence
You can enter a product code or HSN code if needed. This is useful for taxation and record keeping.
If you’re using a barcode scanner, add the barcode here.
Let’s take the example of a 1-liter shampoo bottle:
The Unit is ml because it’s a liquid.
The Volume is 1000, since 1 liter equals 1000 ml.
The Reorder Level could be 3, which means you’ll get notified to restock when the quantity falls to 3 or less.
Enter the Sales Price (MRP), which is the regular price.
Then add the Discounted Price, which is what customers currently pay. This price is shown on your Mini Website.
Next, add the Purchase Price, which is what you paid to the supplier.
If applicable, you can also add the Dealer Price, useful for internal tracking.
Select the correct tax rate (like 12% or 18%).
If your price includes tax, tick the “Tax Inclusive” checkbox.
You can note the manufacturer name for tracking purposes.
If you want to hide the price from customers, check the box labeled “Hide Price from Customer”.
If you want to hide the product entirely from Mini Website, check the box “Hide Product from Customer”.

Products for consumption are used internally during services (e.g., bleach, gloves, wax) and are not sold to customers.
Go to Manage → Inventory → Products

You do not need to add a sales or discounted price since this product is not being sold.
If needed, configure the tax and mark whether the price includes tax.
You do not need to upload an image for internal-use products.

Set Product Type to Sale
Tick the box “Hide Product from Customer”
This ensures:
Product is accessible during billing
Product is not visible on the Mini Website
Reorder Level is the minimum quantity at which you want to be alerted to restock.
When the available stock falls to or below this level:
You receive a notification in Zylu
The product is marked for low stock in inventory
Set this level based on your daily usage and supplier lead time.
Choose a base unit based on how you measure and track the product in inventory.
Examples:
Liquids like shampoo: ml
Powders like bleach: gm
Countable items like gloves or wax strips: pcs
Yes.
Zylu auto-deducts consumption products (which are added in Auto Consumption) when a service that uses them is billed.
To enable this:
Make sure product is marked as Consumption
Ensure unit, volume, and MRP are configured correctly
You can edit any field including image, pricing, unit, and tax at any time
You can also delete a product if it’s no longer in use (note: you can't delete a product that is linked to existing bills or services)
Currently, Zylu does not support one-click duplication. You’ll need to:
Manually add a new product
Copy and paste similar details like brand, category, or pricing
Incorrect unit or volume affects:
Inventory stock tracking
Auto-consumption calculations
Cost and margin analysis
Always double-check these fields — especially for consumption products.
