Each inspection has one main service; to sell more services on the same inspection, add them as add-ons of that main service.

In the dashboard: Business Tools → Services & Fees

## The short answer * A **main service** is an inspection you sell on its own, such as **Home Inspection**, **Pre-Listing Inspection** or **Re-Inspection**. It is picked first, and it decides the price, the time, the report templates, the agreements and the automations of the inspection. * **Each inspection has one main service.** * An **add-on service** is an extra sold with a main service, such as **Radon Testing** or **Sewer Scope**. To sell more than one service on the same inspection, add the others as **add-ons of the main service**. For example, a client who wants a home inspection, a radon test and a sewer scope gets one inspection: **Home Inspection** as the main service, with **Radon Testing** and **Sewer Scope** as its add-ons. ## How it looks on an inspection When you schedule in the dashboard, **Select Service** lists your main services. You pick one. The Select Service card on the New Inspection page with the Choose an inspection service list open, showing three main services: Home Inspection $400.00, Pre-Listing Inspection $350.00 and Re-Inspection $175.00

Once a main service is picked, it takes the place of the list. The **Add-ons** section then offers that service's add-ons, and you can add as many as you need. The Select Service card after picking Home Inspection, $400.00 and 3 hrs, with an X to remove it. Below are Templates, Agreements and Add-ons, with two add-ons added: Radon Testing x 2 at $150.00 and 0 hrs each, and Sewer Scope at $175.00 and 1 hr

Your online scheduler and quote widget work the same way: the client picks one service, then the add-ons of that service. See [Online booking](/how-tos/booking-online-inspection). ## Why one main service The main service ties the inspection together: * its **templates** become the reports of the inspection * its **agreements** are sent to the client to sign * your **automations** can be set to run only for certain main services * its **taxes** are charged on the whole order Add-ons build on that. They can bring their own templates, agreements and price, but they always belong to a main service. ## Main service and add-on compared | | Main service | Add-on service | | - | - | - | | On an inspection | One per inspection | Any number, each belongs to the main service | | Can be booked on its own | Yes | No, only with its main service | | Price | **Base Price** | **Add Fees (\$)** | | Time | **Base Duration (hours)** | **Add Hours** | | Templates and agreements | Yes | Yes, added to the inspection with the add-on | | Price modifiers | Yes | Yes, its own add-on modifiers | | Taxes | Yes. They are charged on the whole order | None of its own. The main service's taxes cover it | | Has add-ons | Yes | No | | Hide it from the online scheduler | **Hidden on scheduler** | **Hide from Scheduler** | | Clients can add it after booking | No | Yes, with **Allow Upselling** on | | More than once on an inspection | No | Yes, in the dashboard | | Shared between services | n/a | No. Each main service has its own copy | ## Sell a service both on its own and as an add-on Some services, such as radon testing, are booked on their own by some clients and with a home inspection by others. Set them up both ways: 1. Create **Radon Testing** as a **main service**, for clients who only want radon. 2. Add **Radon Testing** as an **add-on** on each main service it goes with, such as **Home Inspection** and **Pre-Listing Inspection**. To copy the add-on to several main services quickly, build it once, then use **Add from Another Service** on each of the others. See [Use the same add-on on several services](/how-tos/add-on-services#use-the-same-add-on-on-several-services). ## Change the main service of an inspection On an inspection, click the **X** on the main service to remove or change it. Hive asks you to confirm first. * **On a new inspection,** this removes the service with its templates, agreements and add-ons. Pick another service to continue. * **On a saved inspection,** changing the service permanently deletes all reports, agreements, automations and custom pricing lines currently on the inspection. You can't save the inspection until you pick the new service. The new service's reports, agreements and automations are then created from scratch. Agreements already signed and reports already published stay available where they were saved, but are removed from this inspection. To add a service to a booked inspection, add it as an add-on instead of changing the main service. Changing the main service starts the reports, agreements and automations over. ## Hidden services and hidden add-ons * **Hidden on scheduler**, on a main service, removes it from your online scheduler, quote widget and public company page. Your team can still pick it in the dashboard. Use it for services you book yourself, such as a re-inspection or a tax-exempt copy of a service. * **Hide from Scheduler**, on an add-on, removes it from the online scheduler and quote widget. Your team can still add it in the dashboard, and clients can still add it after booking if **Allow Upselling** is on. See [Allow Upselling and Hide from Scheduler](/how-tos/add-on-services#allow-upselling-and-hide-from-scheduler). ## Frequently asked questions No. Each inspection has one main service. Add the other services as add-ons of that main service, under **Service Add-Ons** when you edit it. See [Add-on services](/how-tos/add-on-services). Book one inspection with **Home Inspection** as the main service and **Sewer Scope** as an add-on. If Sewer Scope isn't an add-on of Home Inspection yet, add it under **Service Add-Ons** on that service first. Make it a **main service** if clients book it on its own. Make it an **add-on** if it's sold together with another inspection. If both happen, set it up both ways. See [Sell a service both on its own and as an add-on](#sell-a-service-both-on-its-own-and-as-an-add-on). Add-ons are offered only for the main service they belong to. Check that the add-on is on the main service you picked. On the online scheduler, also check that **Hide from Scheduler** is off. Each add-on belongs to one main service. To offer it with others, copy it with **Add from Another Service** or **Duplicate**. Each copy has its own price and settings. Yes. Create a second inspection for the same property and client with the other main service. Each inspection then has its own reports, agreements, schedule and invoice.
