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.

Key Benefits of Add-ons

  • Upsell Revenue: Offer upgrades at the moment of booking so more revenue is captured without extra follow-up
  • Personalized Bookings: Customers choose relevant extras, leading to services that fit their needs and expectations
  • Service-Specific Relevance: Add-ons appear only on services they’re assigned to, keeping choices focused
  • Faster Setup Across Offerings: Create add-ons once and assign them wherever they apply, avoiding duplicate work.

Where to Create Add-ons

You can access add-ons in two places:

  • Centralized list of all add-ons across services
  • Add-ons created here are automatically added to that specific service.

  • Add-ons can be linked to one or more services
  • Add-ons will only appear on the booking page for the services they are linked to
  • Customers see the add-on as an optional extra during booking

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do add-ons automatically appear for all services? No. Add-ons must be manually assigned to each service where you want them available.

Q: Will an add-on’s duration change the total service time? Yes. When Duration is enabled for add-ons, that time is added on top of the service duration to calculate the new in the overall service time.
