Add-ons are optional extras that can be attached to a service so customers can personalize their booking. They can be supplementary services or related products and may affect total time and price. This article covers what add-ons are and how to create, edit and assign add-ons to your services!

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What are Add-ons?

Add Ons allow users to enhance services by offering additional features or upsells, providing customers with options to customize their booking experience. These add ons can be supplementary services or products related to the main service. For example:

  • A spa might offer an "Aromatherapy Upgrade" that can be added to a massage session.
  • A personal trainer could offer "Nutritional Consultation" as an extra option to a workout plan.
  • A photographer might include "Additional Edited Photos" as an add on to a photoshoot package.

These offerings can increase revenue and enhance customer satisfaction by giving clients more personalized service options during the booking process.

  • Customers see the add-on as an optional extra during booking
