How to sell service as a product in online shops?
Service is a special type of a product which is available in standard options of every IdoSell. You can enable service sale with just 1 click by setting a product type "service" on a product card in the administration panel. The service can be sold as:
- a set component – for example, set of pens + personalized engraving (service)
- a collection component – for example, a sofa + 2 armchairs + optional edging (service)
- single service – for example, a device service or a logo design
The most important aspects of service as a product type
Service in contrast to a regular products has:
- simplified warehouse management – you only indicate if service is available or not
- optimized checkout process – if a customer has only one or few types of service in a basket, delivery methods will be hidden and we will only display quick payment options what makes the purchase process even simpler
- a shop template is adjusted to legal requirements of service sale in online shops – your customer is informed that a product type he has in his basket is service
Service has also many essential characteristics of standard products:
- unified presentation in a shop – pictures, descriptions, price depending on a version
- possibility of being assigned to a menu, a series or a category
- possibility of having attachments to download – e.g., terms and conditions of service
- being offered for free – eg., above indicated basket value
- being included in time-limited offers
- being sold in cross-selling – buy tiles for 1000 GBP and we will design a bathroom for you (service)
