What are extra categories?

The Extra Categories feature allows you to add even more items to a booking and have your customers choose these items during online booking or after the sale. You can use the extra categories to enhance your bookings even more!

Updated this week

Start by going to Manage --> Booking Engine --> Extra Categories

Depending on what account type you have, you'll be able to create 2 to 6 Categories of Extras. These categories will then appear under your Manage button, below the Backdrops menu.

When you create a new category, you will be taken to the new category, and an example item will be created. You can customize this example item. By default, new items will be available to book with all your packages.

To change which packages an Extra item can be booked with, click the Edit link and change which packages the item can be booked with.


How do I offer Extra items to my clients?

Once you've created the Extra items, you must enable them on each package. Go to Manage --> Packages

  1. Go to the Advanced tab of the package you want to apply an Extra item to

  2. Scroll down to the bottom and select which Extra item to enable

  3. Set how many can be added to the package

  4. Click the box to allow customers to skip this step during online booking


Each Category of Extra items has its own section in a package's Advanced tab

You can enable any or all Extra item categories on each package in the Advanced tab. Each one can have it's own separate settings as well.


Can I add Extra Items to Add Ons?

Yes, Extra items can also be added to add ons as well as packages. You will need to enable each Extra Item Category separately on each Add on.

Clients will be offered items from the Extra item categories at booking

When a client books online, they will be offered available items from the categories that are applicable to the packages and add ons selected in their booking.
