# Services

> How Newie services work and where to find service setup, features, management, and pricing guidance.

## Overview

Services are the foundation of Newie. Before links, QR codes, Store pages, subscribers, invoices, or reports exist, there is a service that defines what the customer is buying and how they pay.

## What a Service Does

Everything you sell in Newie starts as a service. You create the service, choose how customers pay, share it, and then manage the customers or payments created from it.

A service can be a subscription, one-off purchase, or instalment plan. The service type controls billing.

Delivery, booking, team ownership, and where you share the link are workflow choices you handle around the service.

## What Services Control

| Service setting       | What it affects                                                                                                                                                         |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type**              | Whether customers buy a subscription, one-off purchase, or instalment plan.                                                                                             |
| **Price and billing** | What the customer pays, how often invoices are created, and how many payments are collected where that applies.                                                         |
| **Availability**      | Whether customers can complete checkout. A service can exist before it is available for sale.                                                                           |
| **Checkout features** | Terms of Service, Welcome Email, Digital Downloads, BNPL for eligible one-off purchases, setup fees, intro pricing, and customer self-service controls where supported. |
| **Sharing**           | Links, QR codes, Tap to Pay, Purchase as Customer, custom pricing, Store placement, and group placement.                                                                |
| **Customer records**  | The service becomes the source record behind subscribers, one-off purchases, instalment plans, invoices, reports, and customer follow-up.                               |

## Main Service Actions

Go to **Sell -> Services**, then open the service `...` menu.

Common actions include:

* **Share Link** or **Copy Link**
* **QR Code**
* **Tap to Pay**, on supported iPhones
* **Purchase as Customer**
* **Custom price** or **Custom price or start date**
* **View & Export Customers**
* **Move Subscribers**, where eligible

* **Preview**
* **Add to Store** or **Remove from Store**

The exact actions depend on the service type, service status, platform, payout setup, Tap to Pay setup, and whether the service already has customers.

## How to Think About Services

Newie is designed for services, not inventory management.

For manual or low-volume physical-product sales, use a one-off purchase for payment and manage product operations outside Newie.

For workflow examples, see [Provider Guides](/guides). For sharing and checkout options, see [Selling Overview](/guides/selling-sharing).
