Update service pricing on the go
OctopusPro allows you to customize your customer portal as you want. One of the options is to show your customers the all the updates on the service price as they add different custom fields to the service. Showing the updates to the price gives the customer more clarity on how much every option they add to the service costs. Moreover, with giving updates with the price of each custom field, the customer will have the option to decide whether they are OK with the price of that option otherwise they can opt out.
