Hi Shawn, that is a good trick to host data on ArcGIS online without using credits for storage. I have been trying it from my end but have not been successful. When I add the item through URL option in AGOL, it does detect the type as WFS but when i click next an error is displayed - "This version of WFS is not supported". Can you please let me know what I missed? I followed every step from you video but still getting the error. Please help

GeoServer supports versions 2.0.0, 1.1.0, and 1.0.0 for WFS, so you might be using 1.0.0. The URL itself says which version is being used, so try generating a new URL in the preview of your service using a different version and try that.

@@shawnsspotlightongis am kind of lost out here now. How do i generate a new URL for the service?

Don't you have to add Geoserver as a Trusted Server in ArcGIS Online and enable CORS in Geoserver to add a service to ArcGIS Online?

You do need CORS enabled, but that isn't difficult in Geoserver (just uncomment some lines). Nothing needs to be done in ArcGIS Online and you can just be a user to add an item pointing to your Geoserver URL.
