This article provides an overview of managing your inventory in Vagaro.

With Vagaro's Inventory feature, you can manage both products used in-house (color, shampoo, conditioner, capes, etc.) and products you sell to your customers. If you have the Online Shopping Cart activated, you can sell to customers through your booking page. Using features in Inventory Management, you can edit multiple items simultaneously using the Edit All and Mass Edit functions and keep track of all the products on your list.
