How do I create a service and set its price?

From Services, click Add service: a panel opens with a form in 6 sections (information, taxonomy, duration, pricing, photos, client information). A preview of the public listing updates live as you type. Save as draft or publish right away.

Opening the creation form

From the services list, click Add service. The panel opens as a side sheet (full screen on mobile).

Choosing the category first

The first step is choosing the service's category. It determines the form's following sections (taxonomy, size, touch-ups, multi-session, available pricing strategies): fields that don't apply to that category stay hidden.

Filling in the sections

Once the category is chosen, complete:

• Basic information: title, description, artists offering this service.
• Taxonomy: styles, body areas, techniques, ink types involved.
• Time and scheduling: fixed duration or a range, possibly several sessions.
• Pricing: pricing strategy, amount, any design fee, deposit.
• Photos: a gallery illustrating the service.
• Information requested from the client: what you want them to specify at booking (placement, size, reference...), optional or required.

Setting the price

Several pricing strategies are available: fixed price, hourly rate, starting from, quote-based, or by size. The default deposit amount suggested follows your deposit policy configured under Finance, but you can override it for this specific service. A dedicated button lets you save this override as a rule for the whole category, without touching the rest of your policy.

For a quote-based service, there's no known amount at booking time: the online payment section is replaced by a message explaining that the price and deposit will be set in the quote sent after reviewing the request.

Saving

The panel's footer offers two options.

• Save as draft: the service is saved but not yet publicly visible.
• Add Service: the service is created and published according to your configuration.

Edge cases

You leave the form to enable payments partway through. If you need to enable Stripe during creation, your input is saved automatically and restored when you return. Only photos already added are not restored, you'll need to re-add them.

The deposit field doesn't match what you expected. Check your deposit policy under Finance > Deposit policy: it's what sets the default value suggested on every new service.

You want to create a flash rather than a regular service. Use the dedicated button from the flash gallery: the form is a simplified version suited to that type of offering.
