Hi @lenadavids

You can surely sell services on Shopify without any issue! How would the process be after a client pays for it? Is the e-mail being sent out as confirmation the same for all clients (to include instructions and whatnot?).

Happy to discuss this here, via e-mail or through a call if it helps.

Cheers!
