How to create a service listing
Create a real IVOTIA service listing by choosing the right category, adding service-specific details like delivery time and requirements, and then saving as a draft or publishing.

Before you start
You need an active seller profile for the service side before you can create a service listing. If you do not have a freelancer seller profile yet, IVOTIA will redirect you back to complete seller onboarding first.
The current service-listing flow uses the main Create Listing wizard with the listing type set to service.
Step 1: Add the basic listing details
Start by choosing Service as the listing type, then enter a clear title, pick the most accurate category and subcategory, and write a useful description.
Your title, category, and subcategory are required. The description should explain the outcome, scope, and anything the buyer should know before ordering.
Step 2: Fill in category attributes and extra details
Some service categories have required seller-side fields that come from the category form schema. These must be completed before you can continue.
You can also add FAQs and custom specs where useful, but IVOTIA blocks the next step if an FAQ row or custom-spec row is only partially filled. Each visible row needs both sides completed properly.
Step 3: Upload service images
A service listing still requires images. IVOTIA currently expects at least one image before you can continue beyond the gallery step.
You can upload up to five images. Use them to show your work, results, process, or examples that help buyers trust the service quality.
Step 4: Set service-specific pricing and delivery details
For services, IVOTIA requires a valid price and a delivery time before the listing can be published. The platform also checks that your price stays inside the allowed pricing policy for the selected currency.
You can choose a pricing model, set the number of revisions, and define whether the service is online, in-person, or both. If you enable nearby discovery, IVOTIA can use your seller location so local buyers can find the service more easily.
What to include in the service scope
The service wizard supports two important structured areas: What is included and Buyer requirements. These are not just nice extras; they help define the order properly before work begins.
What is included should list the actual deliverables, such as files, formats, license terms, support, or revision rounds. Buyer requirements should capture the information you need before starting work. IVOTIA supports multiple requirement rows and different requirement input types.
Review, save as draft, or publish
At the end of the wizard, IVOTIA shows a review step with the service summary, pricing, delivery time, revisions, location type, included items, and buyer requirements.
From there you can save the listing as a draft or publish it as active. Draft listings stay unpublished, while active listings become visible in the marketplace once the submission succeeds.
Important things to know
For service listings, IVOTIA will not let you continue without a delivery time. It also validates the selling price against the configured currency pricing policy.
If you are unsure about the exact scope, keep the title and description honest, define buyer requirements clearly, and avoid publishing a vague service. Clear scope reduces disputes and revision issues later.
