Studio Capability Directory and Pricing
This article determines which capabilities and services customers see in the Studio, as well as the channel pricing used when purchasing from the white-label site.
¶ Completion Effect
Sub-sites only display capabilities and services that are ready for operation; the default markup for the entire site, hidden recharge, and single service coverage all have clear priorities, and the team understands that these settings are for display and channel pricing, not account or API authorization boundaries.
¶ Preparation Before Starting
- List the 3 to 8 capabilities most commonly used by target customers;
- Determine the default markup for the entire site;
- List services that need to be hidden, renamed, sorted, or priced separately;
- Decide whether to allow customers to recharge on the current sub-site;
- Do not copy the real-time ratios and service statuses from the screenshots in this article.
¶ Step 1: Select Studio Capabilities
Open the Capabilities in the sub-site settings:
- Disable capabilities unrelated to target customers;
- Enable chat, live images, live videos, or music capabilities that are ready for sale;
- Click the edit entry to modify the customer-facing name or icon if needed;
- After saving, check the left/bottom navigation and homepage entry from an incognito window.
Capability names should accurately describe their purpose. Do not change capabilities that can only perform a single task into misleading marketing terms.
¶ Step 2: Set Overall Site Channel Markup
Open Pricing:
- Enter the unified markup ratio for the entire site;
- Check the allowed range displayed on the page;
- After saving, randomly check at least three services without single service coverage;
- Record the original platform price, channel display price, and final customer payment price.
Service-specific markups take precedence over the default value for the entire site. The screenshot is just the actual configuration of Zhishu Cloud at that time, not a suggested price.
¶ Step 3: Decide Whether to Hide Recharge
"Disable Recharge" will only hide the recharge/purchase entry in the current sub-site. It will not:
- Clear the customer's existing balance;
- Turn a shared account into an independent account for that Site;
- Prevent customers from purchasing shared packages from other entries;
- Create interface authorization or budget limits.
If your business requires a mandatory procurement process or independent budget control, additional business constraints are needed and cannot rely solely on this switch.
¶ Step 4: Set Single Service Coverage
In "Single Service Custom Markup and Display," you can configure for specified services:
- Show or hide;
- Separate markup;
- Customer-facing display name;
- Sorting.
Services without a separate markup inherit the overall site ratio; deleting the coverage restores the default display and continues to inherit the overall site ratio.
¶ Step 5: Acceptance from the Customer's Perspective
- Refresh the sub-site using an incognito window;
- Verify that the homepage and navigation only display target capabilities;
- Check that hidden services no longer appear in the sub-site directory;
- Randomly check services that inherit the overall site ratio and those using single service coverage;
- Verify the final price with the actual settlement page, not just the preview on the settings page;
- If recharge is hidden, confirm that the current sub-site entry has disappeared, and explain the boundaries of shared balance to the team.
¶ Current Boundaries
- Hiding capabilities or services is a control for directory display, not API permissions;
- Customer accounts, balances, and packages belong to a shared system;
- Site markup is the channel price identified and recorded from the current white-label browser process, not a mandatory tenant price for accounts across all domains;
- Site owner earnings are settled based on compliant orders and distribution ratios, not the entire markup difference returned.
¶ Success Indicators
- The incognito window only displays capabilities and services ready for operation;
- Custom names, icons, and order are accurate;
- Overall site and single service prices comply with regulations;
- The meaning of hidden recharge has been written into customer and customer service explanations;
- The team will not misrepresent visibility or channel prices as authorization isolation.
¶ Frequently Asked Questions
¶ Customers Still See Old Entry After Modification
Confirm that the modification is made to the Site resolved to the current domain, and then use an incognito window to exclude cache. Capabilities and services are two independent configuration layers, so also confirm the correct section is modified.
¶ Prices Did Not Change According to Overall Site Ratio
Check if the service already has single service coverage; also, refer to the actual settlement page, as the displayed currency may not equal the order settlement currency.
¶ Is Higher Markup Always Associated with Higher Revenue?
No. High prices can affect conversion, and final revenue is also influenced by distribution levels, refunds, risk control, and order status.
