Services

Services show up individually or as part of packages in your booking flow and are the essentials your customers hire you for. Examples of some commonly offered services are photography, 3D virtual tours, aerial / drone photography, videography, floor plans etc.

Start from templates

When you create a Fotello account, Fotello pre-builds service templates for you. They come filled out with example services, descriptions, tiered pricing, and photos.

Use these as a starting point. Edit the details and replace the photos to match your business so you can start selling immediately, then refine over time.

Add pricing tiers

You can create as many tiers as you need and set their names, prices, minimum and maximum square footage. There are multiple ways to use this feature:

  • Area based tiers: You can breakdown your pricing for a specific service based on the area of the property. For example, you may want to display different prices for 3D Matterport tours depending on the square footage of the house. Tiers only show when booking area falls within the min and max range.

  • Area independent tiers: You can create incremental tiers for pricing services that are not based on the area of the property but on other factors like complexity or quantity. For example, you may want to display different prices for different numbers of photos or for 2D vs 3D floor plans.

  • You can also create a mix of tiers that are area-based or area-independent so your customers will see various options within the area range their booking falls in.

For example, depending on the square footage your customers book you for, they will see the respective pricing within that square footage range as shown below.

When booking for 2000 sqft.

If you want to remove the limit, just leave the "Max Range" field blank and the system will read it as infinity.
