  2. Tap the "+" button located at the bottom-right corner of the screen.

  3. You’ll now see the Create Service screen.


Field Descriptions

Image

Upload an image that clearly represents the service. This improves customer experience on the mini website and app.

Name

Enter a clear and simple service name. Example: Haircut, Facial, Tattoo Lining.

Description

Add a short description that explains the service to both staff and customers.

Categories

Click on Select Categories and tick all relevant checkboxes. These categories help group services and affect how they appear during billing and on your mini website. If no category is selected, the service will not be visible to customers.

Price

Enter the full price for the service.

Discount Price

Optional. Enter if you want to offer a discounted price. This will override the full price during billing.

Select Tax

Choose the applicable tax rate configured in your store settings.

Is Tax Inclusive

Enable this if the price already includes tax. If disabled, tax will be added on top during billing.

Specify how long the service takes in hours and minutes (e.g., 00:30 for 30 minutes).

Code (Optional)

Add an internal reference code if needed.

SAC Code (Optional)

Enter the SAC (Service Accounting Code) if required for GST compliance.

Select Gender

Select the applicable gender: Male, Female, or Other. This helps in showing gender-specific pricing or services.


Additional Options

Starting Price

Check this if the price varies depending on customization (e.g., hair length, nail size). It will show the lowest price as a base.

Home Service

Enable if this service can be delivered at the customer's location.

Favorite

Mark this if it’s a frequently used service. It helps staff quickly find and bill it.

Hide Price from Customer

Enable if you do not want to show the price on invoices or the mini website.

Featured

Enabling this will highlight the service on the mini website and customer app.

Hide from Customer

This will remove the service from the mini website and app but keep it available for internal billing.


Final Step

After filling all fields, click Save to create the service.

1. Can I edit a service after saving it?
Yes. Go to Manage → Services, click on the service you want to edit, make the necessary changes, and save.

2. What is the difference between 'Price' and 'Discount Price'?
'Price' is the actual service price. If a 'Discount Price' is entered, the customer will be billed the discounted amount instead.
