## Definition <a href="#id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-definition" id="id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-definition"></a>

The **listing deposit** refers to the process of setting up a listing on our platform, enabling vendors to showcase and offer multiple services simultaneously. To streamline this process, administrators can define standard service structures using the **service template** within the SBO (Service Back Office). This feature provides vendors with a predefined framework, making it easier for them to create and manage their service listings efficiently. By utilizing these templates, vendors can ensure consistency and accuracy in their service offerings while reducing the time required for setup.

To deposit a listing, users must be registered and logged into the platform. The [**Log In** and **Register**](/v2.0/front-office/log-in-and-register.md) options must be utilized to gain access to this feature.

### Triggering the listing creation workflow

To understand how this step is reached during the listing process creation, refer to the [**Rendering Type Selection (Commoditized)**](https://app.gitbook.com/o/azXNS7QsS7i7yvHBE0Vd/s/n4EIoqjZx1xWQIo6LnjB/~/changes/63/v2.0/front-office/listing-deposit-pages/rendering-type-selection-commoditized) section in the documentation.
{% endstep %}

### Creating a Service

The user has the option to either utilize a pre-configured service template set up by the platform administrator or create a custom service.

&#x20;The image below displays all configurable settings available to the administrator, allowing for the modification of various service parameters.

<figure><img src="/files/d5DiXw22OlgxcYK1IRYz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The process for creating a service template is described in the following documentation: [Service templates (Flat Rate rendering type)](/v2.0/superadmin/service-templates-management/service-templates-flat-rate-rendering-type.md)

<figure><img src="/files/rmzH5Wy7i2TKsayXUSyF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To utilize a predefined service template established by the platform administrator, the **Service Template** toggle must be enabled via the slider. To create a custom service, the **Custom Template** slider should be activated.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/4Awos7qdx9lYxZqHUcta" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Users retain the option to select a service template to prefill their service details. The following fields remain editable:

* **Category**
* **Title**
* **Description**
* **Price and Duration**
* **Minimum and Maximum Orderable Quantity**

<figure><img src="/files/brXUFqOFb4054Tc8HCsj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Creating a Service Subscriptions

In the Flat-Rate rendering type, SCND provides also an option for vendors to establish a subscription model that automatically charges customers at regular intervals based on the configured settings. For additional information, refer to the **"**[**Subscription**](/v2.0/core-concepts/flat-rate-rendering-type/subscription.md)**"** section. This function can be configured by adjusting the **"Service Type"** configuration in the SBO

When enabled, during the listing creation process for the **Flat-Rate** rendering type, a new **"Service Type"** checkbox will appear below the service template in the service selection section. This checkbox allows the vendor to specify whether the service should be created as a regular service, also referred to as a **One-shot service**, or as a **subscription** service.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">Subscriptions service templates can also be pre-configured in the SBO.</mark>
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/d7cmseULw0Eswqz9Ec2H" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If the subscription service type is selected, additional options will appear to configure periodic pricing. SCND supports subscription models on a **weekly**, **monthly**, and **yearly** basis. The subscription period is configured through the **"Subscription Frequencies"** configuration in the SBO

<figure><img src="/files/0mGyXOFR3efrKhKSRBb0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Once the service creation process is complete, the user should click "Proceed to Step 4 of 4" to advance to the next step.

<figure><img src="/files/aLhlnQEt1i2GpKkDHmKP" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Address of the service

The Address section allows the vendor to provide the location where the service will be performed. The following details must be entered at this step:

* **Country** (dropdown field)
* **City** (mandatory)
* **ZIP Code**
* **Street Number**
* **Street Name**

<figure><img src="/files/6B6z3u2t31jDWDMzMuGe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">If the full address is not mandatory on the listing, the user can click on the arrow icon in order to hide the ZIP, Number, and Route.</mark>
{% endhint %}

The “Confirm Address” checks the information and displays the location on the right-hand map.

At the conclusion of the listing deposit process, the user must check the "I accept the Terms and Conditions" checkbox and select either "Publish your listing" or "Save as a draft". Choosing "Save as a draft" will create the listing without publishing it, and it will be marked as "Hidden" in the user's Dashboard.

{% endstepper %}

## Show a listing on the platform <a href="#id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-readalisting" id="id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-readalisting"></a>

The user can read the listing information entered through his dashboard.

{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:blue;">Path: Dashboard > Listing > Name of the listing > Presentation</mark>*
{% endhint %}

## Update a listing <a href="#id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-updatealisting" id="id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-updatealisting"></a>

### Navigation Steps <a href="#id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-basicsolution-stepsnavigation" id="id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-basicsolution-stepsnavigation"></a>

During the listing deposit process, the user can update the listing’s information by clicking “Back to step X” (figure 10). This redirects the user to the previous step in which he can edit the previously entered information.

<figure><img src="/files/ZFdFd3SiO6K1YmlS3CtZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Languages management <a href="#id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-basicsolution-languagesmanagement" id="id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-basicsolution-languagesmanagement"></a>

The offeror can also update the listing’s translations manually via the language icon (figure 11.1).

<figure><img src="/files/cXVONbKT3GUvnFDc4UWU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The user then selects the desired language through a list of available languages (figure 11.2).

<figure><img src="/files/cHlm3lGqTiOXhdOgySQl" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

An automatic translation is set up by default. Any non-manually translated fields are automatically translated.

Once the listing deposit process is done, the user can set additional information such as the calendar, seasonal price, etc through their dashboard described in the related article: [Listings dashboard (Time-Based rendering type) - Edit](https://features.scnd.com/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/commoditized-rendering-types/flat-rate/pages/2MWFS0Z68apULhjXcHaG#id-1.14.x-listingsdashboard-basicsolution-edit)

## Delete a listing <a href="#id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-deletealisting" id="id-1.16.x-listingdeposit-servicesbundle-deletealisting"></a>

Users cannot delete a listing during the listing deposit process as it is not published yet. They can, however, interrupt the deposit process. When it happens, in the SBO the listing will be tagged as a **Draft** Status.

A published listing can be deleted through the listing user’s dashboard: [Listings dashboard (Basic solution)  - Delete a listing](https://features.scnd.com/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/commoditized-rendering-types/flat-rate/pages/2MWFS0Z68apULhjXcHaG#id-1.14.x-listingsdashboard-basicsolution-deletealisting)
