To create a provider offering:

1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Provider Offerings**.
2. Click **New**.
3. In Benefit, find and select the benefit that's associated with this provider offering.
4. In Contact, find and select the person who provides the benefit.
5. To make the benefit offering available, select the **Active** status.
6. Save your changes.

You can allow users to register as a benefit provider on an Experience Cloud site when you set up a program or create a benefit. Registering as a benefit provider from your Experience Cloud site creates a provider offering record for that user.
