Online Payment, Price, And Free Listings
For each order type, you can decide to
Support online payment- Letting users pay via online payment like PayPal
Show the price to the user but do not allow online transactions
Free listings- No price displayed and no online payments
Pricing units
For each order type, you can add one or more pricing units. This is to define how the price should be displayed. If the order type has multiple pricing units, then the listing creation lets the seller choose the price unit from the available pricing units.
Examples of pricing units: "per person", "per unit" or "per month".
Per person:
The price is then displayed as "$100 per person", If pricing units are in use, then the buyer can select how much price per person for a rental marketplace.
Per Unit:
The price is then displayed as "$100 per unit", If pricing units are in use, then the buyer can select how much price per unit for a marketplace
Likewise, you can add any type of pricing units as required.
What Pricing Units Can I Have?
You can have multiple pricing units in use for an order type that allows for a price. When a seller creates a listing, they need to choose one of them to be used for the listing. You can have different pricing units for different order types. There are five existing pricing units
Per Unit
Per Hour
Per Day

Per Week
Per Month
In addition to these, you can create custom pricing units like per person, per piece, etc. With the custom pricing units, you should be able to create any pricing unit you need.
