The Service Pricing & Availability settings give you complete control over which services appear in your online ordering flow—and how customers interact with them. You can decide whether a category is selectable as a whole, itemized with specific services, or hidden entirely.

This guide walks you through how to configure these settings for your location, including categories, service selection types, and visibility rules.

What You Can Customize

For each category—such as Laundry or Dry Cleaning—you can decide:

1. Category Selection Only

Customers choose the category (e.g., Laundry, Dry Cleaning) without selecting specific items.

Great for:

  • Simple flows

  • Stores doing intake itemization on-site

  • Pickup-only workflows


2. Itemized Service Selection

Customers choose individual services within the category.

Examples:

  • Wash & Fold

  • Comforter

  • Suits

  • Fixed-price items

You can also configure:

  • Single Select – customer can choose only one item

  • Multi-Select – customer can choose multiple items


3. Hidden Categories

Category exists internally but does not appear on your Live Link.


How to Configure Service Availability

Step 1 — Open Location Delivery Settings

  1. Sign in to your Cents dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Location Delivery Settings.

  3. Go to the Online Ordering section.

  4. Locate the categories you want to edit (e.g., Laundry, Dry Cleaning).


Step 2 — Choose How Customers Should Select Each Category

Option A — Set Category to Category-Only

  1. Select the category.

  2. Choose Category-Only as the selection type.

  3. Save your changes.

This means the customer will simply select “Laundry” or “Dry Cleaning,” and you’ll handle itemization during in-store intake.


Option B — Enable Itemized Selection

  1. Select the category.

  2. Choose Itemized.

  3. Choose Single Select or Multi-Select.

  4. Add or enable the specific items you want to appear in the list.

  5. Save.

This makes customers choose which exact services they’re sending in.


Option C — Hide a Category from Live Link

  1. Select the category.

  2. Set visibility to Hidden.

  3. Save.

This keeps the category active inside Cents but not visible to customers.


Step 3 — Preview Your Changes

  1. Click View Site.

  2. Sign in as a customer to see how your Live Link will appear.

  3. Verify:

    • Category-only options

    • Item lists

    • Single/multi-select behavior

    • Hidden categories

Note: “View Site” displays your live ordering flow, not a preview sandbox.


Step 4 — Publish Changes

Once everything looks correct, publish your updates so they go live on your site.


How to Update Commercial & Delivery Pricing Tiers

The same configuration options exist for Commercial Pricing Tiers and Delivery Pricing Tiers.

To update them:

  1. Go to Pricing Tiers.

  2. Choose either Commercial or Delivery.

  3. Open the tier you want to modify.

  4. Look for the Online Ordering section.

  5. Configure each category the same way you did at the location level.

This lets you offer:

  • Different service flows for commercial clients

  • Different options for pickup & delivery customers

  • Tier-specific visibility and itemization rulesImportant Notes

✔ Preventing Overlaps & Conflicts

The visibility and selection types you configure:

  • Must match category rules in your pricing tiers

  • Apply consistently across Commercial and Delivery Tiers

If a category appears incorrectly:

  • Check both the Location Settings and the Pricing Tier settings.
