What is Vish?
Connecting Vish with Phorest
To get started with integrating your Phorest system with Vish, go to Manager > Integrations > Vish. Then, click 'Connect to Vish' to proceed through the setup process.
How Does it Work?
When a Vish scale is used to measure color, the color notes are automatically added to the client's appointment.
The color cost is also automatically attached to the appointment, creating a new open sale line item that displays the total color cost.
Automatic color cost is only available in version 2 of the Vish integration. If you do not currently have this, please contact Vish at support@getvish.com for access to version 2.
The cost can be adjusted on the Purchase screen during checkout if needed.
Reporting on Color Cost
Color cost charges will appear in your Sales Transactions report under Manager > Reports > Sales Reports > Sales Transactions. The color charge will appear under the Item Type 'Extra Appointment Cost', with your custom Line Item Name appearing in the sale Description.
Color Cost & Staff Goals on PhorestGo
Color cost charges are not counted toward Staff Goal targets.
Configuring the Color Cost Settings
Color cost settings are only available in version 2 of the Vish integration. If you do not currently have this, please contact Vish at support@getvish.com for access to version 2.
You can configure the color cost settings by going to Manager > Integrations > Vish.
If the Line Item Name field is left blank, the name will default to Extra Color Charge.
Apply Commission
This setting determines whether or not commission is given to the staff member for the color charge. The commission amount is based on the default Service or Product commission in the staff member's commission profile.
Commission only appears in Payroll Reports and does not appear in other commission reports.
Whether it is calculated as service or product commission is determined by whether you are treating the color charge as a Product or a Service.
Self Employed Staff
The Self Employed Staff setting is relevant to PhorestPay and determines whether funds for the color charge are routed to the business or directly to self employed staff's own PhorestPay accounts.
If this is set to Staff and a staff member does not have their own PhorestPay account, then the funds will be routed to the business by default for that staff member.
