You can receive a discounted rate on the $2,000 Online Store Setup fee by choosing the a Yearly plan option. In this case, you will receive $500 off the Setup Fee in addition to 2 months free (pay for 10 months receive 12 months).

Yes. You can enroll into an STS+ Membership plan, however not all of the benefits will be available to you. We ship to many countries and have the site translated in several languages. The product and shipping costs are slightly higher to account for additional taxes and duties. Please contact one of our team members to find out more information.

After successfully enrolling you will receive a membership confirmation email. Our team will begin setting up your online store and schedule a meeting with you to review the onboarding process within the first week. Your online store will be ready within 3-5 business days of enrollment.

Add one of the STS+ Membership Plans to your cart. The one-time Setup Fee will automatically be added to the cart. Checkout using any of the convenient payment options.

We have three main pillars to our membership program: Education, Revenue and Savings.

These pillars are the true value of Skin Type Solutions. We aim to ensure we create and provide ongoing educational content through webinars, podcasts and blogs. The goal is to keep you and your patients educated with the latest trends and technology in science and skincare.

The second pillar of revenue is to ensure you are generating revenue with your STS+ Online Store. If you promote the quiz to all of your patients and social media followers, you will increase traffic to your store. Offering incentives such as coupons to your patients will encourage an initial purchase. The goal is to retain your patients and increase their lifetime value through regular repeat store purchases, thus providing a revenue source for your business.

The last pillar of savings is to ensure you can stay competitive in an ever-changing market. We have negotiated on your behalf to try and provide a lower cost of goods to help you create more margin in your practice. We encourage you to open accounts with all of the vendors that you offer or wish to offer in your practice and begin your savings upon signing up. In many cases our clients save more than the cost of the STS+ membership.

Customer Acquisition & Retention

The best way to market your STS+ Online Store is to expose your patients to the store as much as possible. A key differentiator is to market the Baumann Skin Type Quiz.

QR Code

We will provide you a QR code in an acrylic display for your waiting room. Requiring all of your patients to scan the QR code and complete the Skin Type Quiz is the best way to educate your patients on their skin type and have the product recommendations to solve their skin issues.

Social Media

Regularly posting on social media about taking the Skin Type Quiz to find out your Baumann Skin Type is an effective practice. Relevant posts and stories about the quiz and your store will help drive visibility to your store. Your STS+ Dashboard includes Media Assets to support these posts.

Business Website

Our team will connect your business website to your STS+ Online Store. It is critical this step occurs during the onboarding process. Please note, you do not need a business website to have an STS+ Online Store.

Your STS+ Online Store comes with a built-in Skincare Rewards Program. Patients will earn points for signing up, taking the quiz, purchasing products, etc. Points can be redeemed for coupon codes towards their purchases.

Included in your membership is our comprehensive STS+ Email Marketing Campaign. STS will send practice-branded marketing emails to your online store customers to educate and assist in purchase conversion.

Educational emails include skin type specific content, importance of taking the quiz and using your recommended product regimen. You may opt into promotional emails that send promotions and discounts to your patients to increase conversion opportunity. This campaign is fully automated and sent on your behalf.

Yes, having a mobile app native experience helps drive repurchases. Your STS+ Online Store has a mobile app that can be downloaded from the Google Play or iOS App Store. Once the patient is associated with your store the logo will update to your branded online store logo.

Commission Payouts

Depending on your membership plan you will earn a commission on sales from your STS+ online store. The Starter Plan has a commission of 30%, the Advanced Plan has a commission of 35% and the Pro Plan has a commission of
40% minus any incentives or discounts applied to the orders.

Any incentives or discounts applied to the order will be
deducted from the commission amount to yield the payable commission. Incentives
include Qualified Free Shipping. Customers qualify for free shipping when their
cart size greater than $49 and the pass-through shipping cost of $7.95 will be deducted from the commission. Cart sizes less than $49 do not qualify for free
shipping and therefore will not be deducted, the shipping will be paid for by the customer at checkout. Discounts include any discounts applied at checkout such as a coupon code or loyalty rewards.

The commission breakdown will be reflected in your plus
dashboard and payable via electronic transfer on the 15th of the following month.
