For salon software
One integration. Every supplier on the platform.
We pay you a commission on every order — higher when you introduce a salon to a brand for the first time, lower on orders from that brand’s existing clients — plus neutral forecasting, direct ordering, and payments you’d otherwise have to build.
Why embedded
Embedded in the workflow beats a standalone app.
Salon professionals don't want another destination. They want ordering, forecasting, and payments inside the system they already trust — yours. BIX is the commerce layer your app plugs into, not a rival product fighting for the home screen.
That's why we're a connector: you keep the relationship with the salon; brands keep their data; salons get neutral access to every supplier without leaving your software.
The problem
Your users want to order professional products inside your app.
Building that yourself means years of marketplace plumbing — professional/medical license verification, unified catalog managing and matching, handling payments, preventing diversions, compliance, brand relationships, and ongoing maintenance for every supplier. Or sending users to a distributor-owned destination you don't control and don't earn from.
Revenue share
Get paid on every order.
Commission on each order placed through BIX. Higher when your app introduces a salon to a brand for the first time; lower when that salon was already the brand’s client. Attribution runs through our claim-client system so new vs existing stays clear — no disputes, no spreadsheets.
Higher share on new clients
When you bring a salon to a brand for the first time, you earn the larger commission on those orders.
Ongoing commission on every order
Existing-client orders still pay you — at a smaller rate — so loyalty and reorders keep earning for your platform.
Neutral forecasting
Demand signals across suppliers, without pushing one distributor's catalog.
Works internationally
We can stand up apps and brands outside the US without you rebuilding per market.
Why not build it yourself
Everything a marketplace needs — that isn't your core product.
Manual integrations don't scale. Neither does hiring a team to replicate what the industry already needs in common.
- Professional identity and license verification (EIN, business type, exemption certificates)
- Medical license verification, brand certificate checks, and other additional reviews brands require
- Payment methods, delivery addresses, and payout infrastructure
- Product catalog matching against the largest professional beauty database
- Managing a unified products catalog — keep information up to date when source details differ in style, text, and image quality
- Rich product data — descriptions, ingredients, photos, protocols, education
- Protocols and education — training videos and materials professionals need beyond simple product descriptions, especially for new brands; hard to collect and maintain
- Custom product enrichment and mapping to canonical SKUs
- Marketplace discovery, merchandising, and product advertising
- Order creation, tracking, cancellation, and status sync
- Integrating with 10+ brand and distributor ordering systems, each with its own specifics — reliable sync and product mappings that stay updated
- Cart and checkout flows embedded in your UI
- Demand forecasting and replenishment signals across brands
- Regulatory compliance and anti-diversion enforcement
- Credit and net terms (rolling out)
- Education and sales layer tied to product data
- Salon onboarding without existing distributor credentials
- Brand-direct ordering with structured incoming orders
- Multi-brand catalog in one neutral layer
- API access for headless integration
- Ready-made iFrames you can customize to match your app’s style
- Ongoing brand onboarding — you don't negotiate one-by-one
- Negotiating commissions with each brand so the partnership stays mutually positive
- Resolving with brands whether a client is new or already existing
- Legal responsibility — wrong contracts with brands can mean multi-million fines from clients in court against the software, not the brands
- Keeping brand pricing aligned with their websites so clients don’t leave your app to order elsewhere
- Tax and compliance handling across jurisdictions
- Managing taxes for both apps and suppliers
- Moderating questions between clients and suppliers — messaging plus moderated chats
- Handling tax exemptions for beauty salons with exemption certificates — a wrong process can leave the app liable for unpaid taxes
- Analytics on ordering behavior without sharing data with competitors
Advantages of BIX
What you get when the commerce layer is already built.
Infrastructure, compliance, and supplier relationships — ready to embed — so your team ships product instead of rebuilding wholesale from scratch.
Largest product database
Descriptions, ingredients, photos, protocols, training materials, and more — collected and updated from many sources.
Consistent product data
Information is consistent across brands, cleared of marketing bravado and unsupported medical claims.
Catalog matching
We match product names in your databases to real products in our catalog — and add brands your clients use within days.
License & identity verification
Professional and medical licenses, plus other reviews brands require. We catch fake, expired, stolen, and “rent a license” fraud.
Tax exemption certificates
We process exemption certificates to regulation so clients can buy without sales tax — and you aren’t left liable later.
Payments & delivery
Client payments, order processing integrated with supplier systems, and tracking for users — infrastructure included.
Reorder & marketplace checkout
Browse, reorder, and checkout flows that are reliable and fast — ready to integrate with your app in hours.
Regulatory compliance
We own regulatory compliance so you don’t need a separate legal team for wholesale commerce.
Anti-diversion control
We check, control, and prevent diversion types — a core requirement for working with large professional brands.
Credit & net terms
Credit and net terms for salons — rolling out.
Salon onboarding
Salons can start without existing distributor credentials.
Brand relationships
We negotiate, communicate, and support brands — so you don’t need a whole sales department to keep suppliers happy.
Brand application
Suppliers get a separate app to manage clients and orders (on top of integrations), claim clients, control payouts, choose what to sell, set discounts in BIX, and see per-product analytics.
Sales tax across the US
We handle sales tax and related legal issues across all US states so you don’t have to.
Moderated messaging
We moderate questions between clients and suppliers so issues get resolved without becoming your support queue.
