Step 5: Click on Next to save the progress. 
Step 6: On the Pricing page, you will have to fill in more details - the price of the offering, who will bear the booking fees, a brief description of the offering, etc.
The price that you added for the offering on the first page will automatically appear in the Price field. However, you can always edit it. Make sure you add the pricing details in INR (Indian Rupee) only.
If you are willing to offer the product or service (or offering) to international users as well, then you can simply select the checkbox under the pricing field. When you do that, make sure to add the pricing in USD (United States Dollar).
Each time an offering is bought on Exly, there’s a booking fee that gets added to the price. However, you have the option to choose who will bear that booking fee - you (the creator) or the end-user. You can choose the preferred option from the drop-down menu.
The breakup of the sub-total - the booking fee, internet handling fees, GST, and total payable for both domestic and international users will get auto-generated.
Although adding an appointment description for the offering is optional, it is always a good idea to give a brief description or highlight a couple of key points that you would be discussing during the one-on-one appointment.
Lastly, if you have team members added to your Add/Manage Staff tab, then you also have the option to assign this offering to any of them. The offering will, however, be assigned to you (the creator or owner) by default.
Step 7: Once you have made all the changes, click on Next. You will be redirected to a new page where you can review all the details added.
Step 8: After reviewing the details of the offering, you can either Publish the offering right away or click on Edit to make more changes.
Step 9: Once you publish your offering, a confirmation message will appear on your screen along with a shareable Invite Link.
You can either copy the invite link directly and share it with the clients manually, invite them via emails, or share the offering directly on WhatsApp.
