Choose a Price structure:

  • Flat fee

  • Per hour

  • Per sq ft (optionally with size tiers)

  • Per man-hour (bill by actual crew time)

Most services fit Flat fee or Per sq ft. See Services (pricing structures) for how tiers and man-hour billing work.

4

Expected result

Your service appears in the service picker when creating a proposal.

Doing chemical work? You can also create a Chemical service (one-time treatment) from the same window — see Chemicals.

Our recommendations:

  • Set default rates for common services.

  • Adjust the quantity later on proposals (hours / sq ft / flat amount).

Email hello@shortcutco.com with the service name + a screenshot of the Services page.
