# Service & Provider Pricing
## **How do consultation fees work? Base Price vs Slot-Based Pricing**
In Omniva, pricing is tied to **both the service configuration** (whether it is set to *Base Price* or *Slot-Based Price*) **and the provider’s availability** (slot duration of 10, 20, 30 minutes, etc.).
There are **two pricing models**:
***
### 1. Base Pricing
Base Pricing means the service has a **single consultation fee**, which is then proportionally split across the slot duration defined in provider availability.
#### Service Setup:
* Service requires:
* **Min Price, Max Price**
* **Platform Fee**
* **Cancellation Fee**
#### Provider Setup:
* When creating or updating their profile, the system asks for:
* **Single consultation price**
* **Follow-up consultation price**
* Omniva automatically **splits this consultation price based on slot duration**.
* Patients see a **per-slot amount**, not the full consultation price.
#### Example:
* Provider sets Consultation Price = **RSD 100**.
* Provider availability: **10 min slots**.
* Patient books 1 slot → sees **RSD 10** as service fee.
* If the provider sets 30-minute slots → patient books 1 slot → sees **RSD 30**.
**Use Case:**
* Standard consultations where **pricing is split proportionally** across time slots.
* Keeps things consistent when providers only want to manage **one global consultation fee**.
### 2. Slot-Based Pricing
Slot-Based Pricing means the service fee is **defined separately for each slot duration** (10, 20, 30 min, etc.) and is not auto-split.
#### Service Setup:
* Service requires:
* **Min Price, Max Price**
* **Platform Fee**
* **Cancellation Fee**
#### Provider Setup:
* When creating or updating their profile, the system asks for:
* Different slot pricing for each available duration (e.g., 10 min, 20 min, 30 min).
* Patients see the exact slot-based fee the provider set.
#### Example:
* Provider sets:
* 10 min = RSD 1,000
* 20 min = RSD 1,800
* 30 min = RSD 2,500
* Availability = **20 min slots**.
* Patient books 1 slot → sees **RSD 1,800**.
* If provider updates availability to 30 min slots → patient booking = **RSD 2,500**.
**Use Case:**
* Flexible consultations where **time directly impacts cost**.
* Useful for specialists who want to charge **different rates for different session lengths**.
### Key Differences:
| Aspect | Base Pricing | Slot-Based Pricing |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pricing Basis** | One global consultation price → auto-split into slots | Each slot duration has its own price |
| **Provider Input** | Sets only single consultation + follow-up fee | Defines separate pricing for 10/20/30 min slots |
| **Patient Experience** | Sees **split amount** (e.g., 100 RSD consultation → 10 min slot = 10 RSD) | Sees **direct price for that slot** (10 min = 1,000 RSD, 20 min = 1,800 RSD, etc.) |
| **Best For** | Standardized consultations, simple setup | Time-sensitive consultations, flexible pricing |
