# Service Configuration

## Create a new service

In My Hub, click **Add Service** in the top-right. In the subsequent popup, enter a Service Name and click **Add Service**.

The steps of creating the service and a plan is shown in the left side menu. **Catalog card**, **Service details**, and **Plans** are mandatory. The rest of the details are optional.

At the top of the screen, you find the Service Configuration toolbar, where you can **Save** as draft anytime and return to edit the details, before you proceed to **Publish** a service.&#x20;

For each step, a checkmark <img src="/files/T2WViPM3GxCOnlgOOtUO" alt="" data-size="line"> indicates if all mandatory fields are filled out. Once these fields are completed for the mandatory steps, the service can be submitted for publishing.

## Catalog card

In this section, you can design the tile that will appear in the Catalog for consumers. A live preview is  shown on the right side.

## Service details

In this section, you can design the service page that opens when someone clicks on the Catalog card.

This includes&#x20;

* **visual settings** of the page header
* a selection of supported **countries** (optional, the default is *all countries*)
* detailed **description** (a longer text describing your service)
* product **images** (optional, any images, screenshots, etc you want to show)

A live preview is  shown on the right side.

## Plans

To publish a service, you need to create at least one Plan. Please refer to the next article [Adding Plans](/step-by-step/provide-a-service-on-the-marketplace/add-a-plan.md) for details.

## Optional details&#x20;

Optionally, you can add further details to your service, such as *Security & Compliance* certifications, customer *References*, *Technical documentation*, *FAQs*, and *Contact details* specific to the service.

{% hint style="warning" %}
After a service is **published**, editing the service details is disabled.&#x20;

Only the **Plans** section remains editable for published services.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apinity.io/step-by-step/provide-a-service-on-the-marketplace/add-a-service-2.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
