With Product Usage, you can track products used during services and charge clients based on units used. After checkout, your inventory is updated automatically.
For businesses that use products during their services, like med spas, hair salons, and nail salons, keeping track of how much inventory you use during services can be a huge pain. But you know that already.
That’s why Mangomint built Product Usage.
What is Product Usage?
Product Usage lets you attach specific products and quantities directly to your services in Mangomint, so that every time a service is performed, the right amount is deducted from your inventory. At checkout, you can add how much of the product you used during the service and the total appointment cost will adjust automatically.
This is ideal for scenarios like:
Neurotoxins used during an injectables service, where the service price depends on the number of units used
Wefts used during an extension installation service, where the service has a set price but inventory still needs to be adjusted
Sanitary gloves, syringes, or other backbar products used during services but do not affect pricing
What can you do with Product Usage?
Add products used during each of your services: Make products required or optional for a service, update unit pricing as needed, set default product quantities, and more.
Enter product usage at checkout: The service price will be updated automatically (no manual calculations needed).
Track inventory changes automatically: After a service with product usage is checked out, your inventory will be updated automatically.
Create memberships & packages that include product usage: Clients can apply their product credits toward services, just like service credits.

Key takeaways:
Product usage automates both pricing and inventory by calculating service totals based on what’s used and updating stock automatically after checkout.
Setup is straightforward, but requires creating products first and enabling “this service uses products” for each service.
Pricing is flexible, allowing for per-unit services, add-ons to base prices, and manual adjustments at checkout when needed.
Inventory tracking happens automatically after each completed sale, reducing manual work and improving accuracy.
The feature is highly customizable, supporting multiple products per service, optional or required items, custom pricing, and compatibility with packages, memberships, and commissions.
Product Usage is included in all Mangomint subscriptions and is now available in all accounts.
