Adding add-ons to a service
Add optional extras to a booking service, such as extra coverage, travel or rush editing. Your client chooses the extras they want during booking, and the total updates to include them.
Which services have add-ons
Add-ons work on direct booking and mini session services. You'll find the Add-ons section on the Price & duration tab, or Price & slot on mini sessions.
Inquiry services don't have add-ons, because nothing is priced at the inquiry stage. Put extras in the proposal you send afterwards instead.
Adding one
- Open the service and go to Price & duration (or Price & slot).
- Under Add-ons, choose Add add-on.
- Fill in the Add-on name and Price per unit.
- Add a Description (optional) if the name needs explaining.
- Turn on Let clients choose quantity if they can take more than one, and set Maximum per booking (optional) if you want a cap.
- Choose Save.
The Tax field appears on each add-on once Collect payment is on for the service, so an add-on can carry a different rate from the session.
You can have up to 30 add-ons on one service. Drag the handle to reorder them, or use Move up and Move down in the ⋯ menu. Clients see them in the same order. Remove deletes one.
Quantity or yes/no
With Let clients choose quantity off, the client takes one or none. That suits things like rush editing or a second shooter.
Turn it on for anything sold in units, like extra edited images or prints. Maximum per booking (optional) caps how many one client can take. Leave it blank for no limit.
What your client sees
Add-ons appear on the first step of booking, under the heading Add-ons, right below the times. There's no separate screen later.
Each add-on shows its name, unit price, a minus and plus counter and the running total for that line. Everything starts at zero. A description shows behind a small information icon beside the name.
The total updates as they go, and the booking summary lists what they picked. Several add-ons collapse into one row, like Add-ons (3), which opens to show each one. When the service collects payment, add-ons go on the booking's invoice with the session.
Choosing add-ons that sell
- Keep it short. Three or four strong extras beat a list of fifteen, which only slows your client down.
- Describe the result. "Forty extra edited photos in your gallery" says more than "extended post-production".
- Price for value. An add-on should feel like a good deal at the moment of booking, not a fee.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add add-ons to an inquiry service?
No. Inquiry services don't price anything at the inquiry stage. Offer extras as optional items in your proposal.
Are add-ons included in the deposit?
The deposit is worked out from the booking total, and add-ons are part of that total. A percentage deposit grows with the add-ons your client picks.
Can I reuse the same add-on on several services?
Add-ons belong to each service, so add them to every service that needs them. For reusable line items in proposals and invoices, use saved items.
Can clients remove an add-on later?
Not from their booking page. If they change their mind, adjust the booking's invoice yourself.
