Services offer a way to sell non-shipping items like courses, consultations, and events through Squarespace. Since these items don't require physical delivery, customers won't need to provide shipping details or pay delivery fees.

Types of Service-Based Products:

• Services: Best for courses and events that don't require specific timing
• Appointments: Ideal for scheduled services using Acuity booking
• Projects: Suitable for specialized services like photography or consulting
