Step 3: Configure Default Pricing

Click Pricing in the left sidebar to open the Pricing Manager.

You see accordion sections for each service: House Wash, Windows, Driveway, and more. Expand each section and enter your rates. Every section has a Base Price, Price per unit, and Minimum Price.

Do not worry about getting everything perfect. You can change rates later without affecting estimates you already sent.

Click Save & Activate when you finish.
