You can easily sell additional services to guests, such as furniture or equipment rental, by creating add-ons on your inventory page. Once you create an add-on, it will be visible on your listing and guests will be able to purchase it at checkout. For this reason, you should be able to fulfill all add-ons you create.
Here's how it works:
- Select “Add-ons” from your navigation bar
- Select the relevant space
- Click "Add Item"
- Enter a title, description, and price
- Save the add-on
FAQs
How should I set the max quantity?
The max quantity represents the total inventory you have for a specific item. For example, if you have 50 chairs available on site, you could charge a per item price and set the max quantity as 50. This is an optional field, so feel free to leave it blank if it's not relevant.
Do I need to submit photos of my add-ons?
You can add one photo per add-on to display next to your item on your listing and in checkout. We recommend adding photos to boost sales and help your guests decide what they need. If you don't add a photo, we'll display an icon based on the category as a placeholder.
Does the service fee apply to my add-ons?
Yes, make sure to factor in the service fee when pricing your individual add-ons (the fee does not apply to tax or gratuity). Guests will be charged the standard processing fee.
Will all add-ons I create be visible on my listing?
No, if you need to, you can hide specific add-ons by selecting "No" under "Show on listings?" Add-ons that are hidden can still be attached to bookings through an invite-to-book or booking update, but will not be visible on your listing or at checkout. Learn more.
