Automatic Integrations
The Services module is tightly integrated with other system areas to ensure consistency and automation:
- Billing System: Price and applied tax data are retrieved and managed in line with the Billing module settings, ensuring correct tax application.
- Category Management: Whenever a service is saved or updated, the system ensures that the category structure is updated and consistent, improving catalog organization.
- Multilingual Support (i18n): Multilingual content management is native, allowing descriptions and names to be defined in different languages without duplicating the service.
