How to create add-ons (optional extras) and attach them to a service
In Calendars › Calendars › Services › Add-ons, click + New Add-on, set the name, price, its own duration (optional) and maximum quantity. Then edit the service, open Add-ons, click + Add-ons and pick the ones customers can add when booking.

Before you start
- Services must be enabled in your account.
- Have the main service created (e.g. "60-min massage").
- Decide the name, the price, and whether the add-on adds time to the booking (e.g. "Aromatherapy", +10 min).
Where to find it
Calendars › Calendars › Services › Add-ons › + New Add-on
Step by step
Create the add-on
- Open Calendars › Calendars and click Services.
- Open the Add-ons tab and click + New Add-on.
- Fill in:
- Image (optional): from your computer or the media library.
- Name: clear for the customer (e.g. "Lavender oil").
- Price of the add-on.
- Duration: check the box if the add-on has its own time; it's added to the service duration.
- Maximum Quantity per appointment.
- Multiple Price with Quantity: when on, 2 units = 2× the price.
- Description: explain what's included.
- Hide from Booking Page: only staff can apply this add-on.
- Click Create Add-on.
Attach the add-on to a service
- Under Services, click the service's three dots and choose Edit.
- In the left menu, open Add-ons.
- Click + Add-ons, select the ones you want to offer on this service (or create a new one right there).
- Click Save. The add-on now appears as an option when booking this service.
Edit or delete an add-on
- Under Services › Add-ons, click the pencil to edit or the trash icon to delete.
- Make your changes and click Save Changes.
Tips
- An add-on created from inside a service is attached to that service right away; one created on the Add-ons tab only shows on services you attach it to.
- The same add-on can live on several services: create it once and attach it wherever it fits.
- Cap the maximum quantity when the add-on depends on physical stock.
Common problems
- The add-on doesn't show on the booking page → It isn't attached to that service. Edit the service, open Add-ons and add it. Also check that Hide from Booking Page is off.
- The price doesn't multiply when the customer picks 2 units → Turn on Multiple Price with Quantity on the add-on.
- The appointment ended up longer than expected → The add-on has Duration enabled; that time is added to the service. Turn it off if the add-on takes no time.
