Create invoices and schedule jobs faster by adding your services and materials to your Price Book. The Price Book in your settings is where you can add default services and materials so that the details like the name, description, cost and price are already entered for you when adding line items to estimates, jobs, or invoices.

Your Price Book is also used when your customers are booking online. They'll be able to select from a particular set of services that you toggle on in your online booking settings.
