# Create a service

{% @arcade/embed flowId="IHLyMClTBXvQ91NmW0yZ" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/IHLyMClTBXvQ91NmW0yZ>" %}

In the Arcade above, you can see step by step how to create and publish a new item in your Service Portfolio. When you click **Add**, you choose whether you want to create a **service** or a **product**. Both follow the same basic flow, but they are used for different purposes within Equipme. Services typically represent recurring or structured offerings, while products are often used for one time or physical items. If you are unsure which option to choose or want a deeper explanation of the differences between products and services, you can find a dedicated overview in the linked documentation.
