How do I add a one-off add-on to an appointment or invoice?

Charge for an extra that isn't one of your services, like a muddy bath, on one appointment or invoice.

Here's how to charge for an extra that isn't one of your services, like a muddy bath or a key collection, on one appointment or invoice. It's added like any other add-on, but it isn't saved to your Services.

Add one to an appointment

  1. Tap Appointments and open the appointment.

  2. Under Add-ons, tap Add add-on.

  3. On Select add-ons, tap Add one-off add-on. It's just above Add service.

  4. Under Name, give it a name, like "Muddy bath". Your client sees this name.

  5. Under Amount, enter the price for one.

  6. To charge it more than once, tap + on the count under the amount. The count shows the total, like "Muddy bath × 2".

  7. Tap the ✓. You're back on Select add-ons, with the one-off at the top.

  8. Tap the ✓ to add it to the appointment.

  9. Save the appointment. On a repeating appointment, choose Save for this appointment only or Save for future appointments.

When you book a new appointment, Add one-off add-on is on the add-ons step too.


Add one to an invoice

  1. Tap Invoices and open the invoice.

  2. Under Services, tap Add service.

  3. On Select services, tap Add one-off add-on, then follow steps 4 to 7 above.

  4. Tap the ✓. The invoice total changes straight away.

When you make an invoice by adding services yourself, Add one-off add-on is on the Select services step too. See How do I invoice a one-off charge?


In the web app

Click Add one-off add-on in the appointment's Add-ons section or the invoice's Services section. Fill in the Name, Amount and Quantity, then click Done. Done stays greyed out until there's a name and an amount above zero.

To change one, click its name. You can change its count or remove it on its row.


Change or remove it

  • Tap the one-off add-on on the appointment or invoice. Change its name, amount or count, and tap the ✓.

  • To remove it, tap the delete button at the top left, then Remove. On Android, tap Remove at the bottom of the screen.

  • If you tap the ✓ without a name, or with an amount of zero, you'll see Cannot save add-on. Add both and try again.

How it's charged

  • It's the amount times the count, however many pets are on the booking.

  • It isn't saved to your Services, so clients can't book it, and it's never added to other bookings.

  • Service tax applies to it, like any add-on.

  • Your client sees it as its own line, under its name, on the appointment and the invoice: in the Walkies Journal app, on the invoice email and PDF, and in a web browser from the appointment or invoice link.

Good to know

  • On a repeating appointment, it's only copied to later visits if you choose Save for future appointments.

  • In payroll, it's paid like any other add-on, with your team member's rates.

  • Only admins and sub-admins can add one. Team members see an add-on's name and count, but not its price.

  • You can't change the add-ons on an appointment your client paid for when they booked it.

  • For an extra you'll charge again and again, add it as a service instead. See How do I add a service?

  • To charge a percentage, or a fee like a late booking charge, add a one-off surcharge instead. See How do I add a surcharge to an appointment or invoice?
