How to Deploy Listings in GoHighLevel Without Directly Charging Clients

If you manage multiple client accounts in tools like ClickUp and GoHighLevel, you may want to deploy listing services for your clients without billing them inside the platform. This guide walks you step by step through how to set up and deploy listings in GoHighLevel while avoiding direct charges to the client inside their sub-account.

The process relies on using an agency-level account snapshot and a simple toggle setting at the location level. Once you configure this correctly, you can control whether or not the client is billed through your GoHighLevel account while still activating the listings service as part of your own packages or external billing system.

Prerequisites for GoHighLevel Listing Deployment

Before you begin, make sure you have the following in your GoHighLevel agency account:

• Admin access to your GoHighLevel agency dashboard.
• A listings product or package you intend to deploy for clients.
• Access to account snapshots at the agency level.
• Client locations already created in GoHighLevel.

Once these basics are in place, you can configure listings so that the client receives the service, but the charge does not occur within their GoHighLevel sub-account.

Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Agency Settings

Start from your main GoHighLevel agency dashboard.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel agency account.
2. From the left-hand navigation, locate and click on the Settings option, typically found at the bottom of the main menu.
3. Confirm that you are operating in the Agency View (not a specific client location) before making any changes.

All listing deployment settings you need will be managed from the agency-level Settings in GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Create or Edit the GoHighLevel Account Snapshot

The key to deploying listings without directly charging clients is to configure the account snapshot correctly. An account snapshot in GoHighLevel lets you predefine what features, workflows, and services will be deployed to new or existing locations.

1. In the agency Settings, navigate to the section for Account Snapshots.
2. Either create a new snapshot or edit an existing snapshot that you plan to use for locations that should receive listings.
3. Make sure the snapshot includes the necessary configurations for listings, such as any automations, forms, or pipelines related to your listing service.

By controlling listings via the account snapshot, you can standardize deployment for every location that uses this configuration in GoHighLevel.

Step 3: Locate the GoHighLevel Listing Toggle

Within the account snapshot controls, there is a dedicated area where you can manage listings deployment behavior for locations. This is where you choose whether the listings are billed inside GoHighLevel or managed externally.

1. Open the account snapshot you will use for your listing clients.
2. Find the Listings or Listings Settings configuration section inside the snapshot editor.
3. Look for an option or toggle that controls charging the client for listings or enabling the listings billing connection.

This toggle determines if GoHighLevel will initiate a direct charge to the client location when the listing service is activated.

Step 4: Disable Direct Client Charges in GoHighLevel

To deploy listings without charging the client inside GoHighLevel, you must turn off the direct billing toggle for listings in the relevant snapshot.

1. In the snapshot’s listings area, identify the setting that enables or disables client billing for listings.
2. Turn off or disable this option so that listings are not billed directly to the client location.
3. Save or update the account snapshot once you have changed this setting.

With this configuration, any location using this account snapshot can have listings deployed while your GoHighLevel system does not initiate direct charges to that client. You can instead handle billing via your own invoicing tools or agency subscriptions.

Step 5: Apply the Snapshot to GoHighLevel Client Locations

Once the snapshot is configured to disable direct charges, you can apply it to your client locations in GoHighLevel.

1. Go to the Locations section in your GoHighLevel agency dashboard.
2. Select the client location that should receive listings without being charged internally.
3. Use the Apply Snapshot or similar option to attach the configured snapshot to that location.
4. Confirm deployment so that all snapshot settings, including the listing behavior, are pushed to the location.

After the snapshot is applied, the location will be set up to use listings based on the snapshot’s configuration, without triggering internal billing in GoHighLevel.

Step 6: Verify Listing Status in the GoHighLevel Location Settings

To make sure everything works as expected, verify the listing status directly inside the client location settings in GoHighLevel.

1. Switch to the specific client Location View in GoHighLevel.
2. Navigate to Settings for that location.
3. Find the Listings or Listings Management section.
4. Confirm that listings are enabled and active, but that the setting to bill the client internally is not enabled.

If listings are active and the billing toggle remains off, you have successfully set up the location to receive listing services without direct charges through GoHighLevel.

How to Bill Clients Outside GoHighLevel

Because you have disabled internal billing, you will need to charge clients using your own billing processes. Some common approaches include:

• Sending monthly invoices via your accounting or invoicing software.
• Including listings as part of a broader retainer or marketing package.
• Charging through payment links, subscriptions, or other third-party tools.

This separation allows you to use GoHighLevel for service deployment while maintaining full control over the pricing, discounts, and payment terms you offer to each client.

Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Listings Deployment

If listings are not working as expected, review these areas:

• Snapshot used: Ensure the correct snapshot (with billing disabled) was applied to the location.
• Location Settings: Double-check the listings area at the location level in GoHighLevel.
• Agency Permissions: Confirm that your agency account still has the required listings configuration and integrations active.

If issues persist, you can review the original documentation from the platform. The official support article provides additional context on deploying listings without directly charging the client inside GoHighLevel. You can access it at this GoHighLevel listings deployment guide.

Why Use GoHighLevel Listings Without Direct Charges?

Running listings through GoHighLevel without internal billing can be useful in several scenarios:

• You sell listings as part of a larger marketing bundle.
• You want to offer introductory free months of listings without changing settings later.
• Your accounting team needs all invoices to go through a separate billing stack.
• You manage white-label services where GoHighLevel is invisible to the end client.

By controlling billing outside the platform, you keep client-facing invoices consistent, while GoHighLevel handles the underlying service automation and deployment.

Next Steps and Additional Resources

Once your listings are successfully deployed, continue to monitor performance and engagement from inside the GoHighLevel location dashboards. Review listing reports, track updates, and refine your internal processes based on client results.
