How to Fill Out Step 6
If you'd like to add additional services, feel free to click on the green 'create new add-on' button.
For each add-on, simply provide:
Field | What to enter |
Add-on Title | e.g. "Private Accommodation" |
Add-on Type | Choose between accommodation, transport or activity. |
Price Type | One-time or per day |
Price | Enter your price value in your chosen base currency. |
Description | Brief explanation of what the add-on includes. For accommodation, specify how it differs from the standard option. |

Here’s an example for you below.
You can add multiple add-ons — volunteers will see these on each program page, while they apply and decide whether they’d like to upgrade. If they miss it during the application but later request it in your conversations, no problem! You can simply change the offer and add the preferred add-on afterward.
FAQ

What price should I enter?
What price should I enter?
Enter the extra amount volunteers pay on top of the regular program fee. Examples:
Accommodation upgrade: Dorm rooms are included. Private room upgrade = $20 per night → enter $20 per night.
Airport Pick-Up & Drop-Off: Pick-up included ($50), full package costs $100 → offer drop-off as add-on = $50 once.
By adding upgrade options, you’ll attract both budget travelers and comfort-seeking volunteers, all within the same program.
If you don’t offer any optional services, you can simply skip this step.
