Service provider guide

How to create a service that matches how Afriiilance actually works

Two types: deliverable (work delivered later) and appointment (book a time). Pick the one that fits how you work.

Deliverable service

For work clients order now and receive later

Best for design, writing, editing, development, marketing, and fixed-scope online work.

  • You set delivery days for each service option
  • Clients compare packages, place an order, and wait for delivery
  • Great when the outcome matters more than a booked time slot

Appointment service

For consultations, visits, sessions, and time-based work

Best for in-person services, virtual calls, home visits, beauty appointments, and scheduled sessions.

  • You set availability, breaks, lead time, and booking window
  • Clients choose an open time slot before checkout is confirmed
  • Great when the service depends on date, time, and location

Checklist

Title, scope, price, and photos.

Title states what the buyer gets.
List what is included and what you need from the buyer.
Realistic price and delivery time.
Photos that match the service.
Separate listings for deliverable vs appointment work.

Can one listing contain both appointment and deliverable services?

No. The creation flow applies one fulfillment type to a listing, so appointment and deliverable offers should be created as separate listings.

What should I prepare before creating an appointment service?

Prepare your weekly availability, appointment duration, visit or meeting details, and how much notice you need before a buyer can book.

What should I prepare before creating a deliverable service?

Prepare your scope, delivery timeline, pricing, and examples of previous work so buyers can compare your offer quickly.

Does it cost money to publish a service on Afriiilance?
