Sell a service in your store

You can sell more than things. A class, a repair or a consultation can sit in your store, get paid for online and skip the shipping step.

Online stores are an add-on. If your site doesn't have one yet, ask us about adding it; we quote it in writing first.

Steps

1. Log in to your site editor.
2. In the side panel, click Store, then Manage Store.
3. Click Catalog, then Products, then +Add New Product.
4. Type the service's Name and Description, and add a picture for the preview.
5. Click Shipping & Pickup and turn off This Product Requires Shipping or Pickup.
6. Click Save at the top of the page.

Turning shipping off is what tells the store this is a service, not something to pack and send.

Write a description that answers three questions

A customer can't hold a service, so the description does the work. Tell them:

• What they get. The finished result or what's included.
• When they get it. The date, the time it takes or how soon you'll be in touch.
• Any limits or conditions. For example, that someone must be present, or what isn't covered.

Let people choose a date and time

Selling a service is not the same as booking one. If customers need to pick a day and time, see How online bookings work. If you'd like a date box on a store product, ask us and we'll set it up.

Selling a class with a set number of places? Tell us how many places and we'll set the stock to match. The product then shows as full once the last place is taken.

Tips

• Use a clear photo of you at work, or of the finished result.
• Say what happens after a customer pays, such as "We'll email you to set a time."
• Match the price to what the description promises.
