Register your new field to the pricing meta box

<?php
/**
 * Add custom text field in pricing section
 * @uses EPL Filter epl_meta_groups_{group_id}
 */
function my_epl_add_pricing_fields($group) {
	$group['fields'][] = array(
		'name'  => 'my_custom_field',
		'label' => __('Custom Field', 'easy-property-listings' ),
		'type'  => 'text',
	);
	return $group;
}
add_filter('epl_meta_groups_pricing', 'my_epl_add_pricing_fields');

Register multiple fields

<?php
/**
 * Add custom text field in pricing section
 * @uses EPL Filter epl_meta_groups_{group_id}
 */
function my_epl_add_multiple_pricing_fields($group) {
	$group['fields'][] = array(
		'name'      => 'property_pricing_class',
		'label'     => __( 'Pricing Class', 'easy-property-listings' ),
		'type'      => 'text',
	);

	$group['fields'][] = array(
		'name'      => 'property_tenancy',
		'label'     => __( 'Tenancy', 'easy-property-listings' ),
		'type'      => 'text',
	);

	return $group;
}
add_filter('epl_meta_groups_pricing', 'my_epl_add_multiple_pricing_fields');

Display your new field

<?php
function my_custom_text_field_callback() {
	global $property;
	$custom_text_field = $property->get_property_meta('my_custom_field');
	if ( isset($custom_text_field) ) {
		echo $custom_text_field;
	}
}
// Add after the_content of the listing
add_action( 'epl_property_content_after' , 'my_custom_text_field_callback' );

Add the field before other fields in the same group

<?php
/**
 * Add custom text field before other fields
 * @uses EPL Filter epl_meta_groups_{group_id}
 */
function my_epl_add_house_age_fields( $group ) {
	
	$new_fields['fields'] = array(
		'name'  => 'my_custom_field',
		'label' => __('Custom Field', 'easy-property-listings' ),
		'type'  => 'text',
	);

	$group['fields'] = $new_fields + $group['fields'];

	return $group;
}
add_filter( 'epl_meta_groups_house_features', 'my_epl_add_house_age_fields' );
