# Create Add-Ons (/how-to/equipment/create-addons) Add-ons are optional extras that customers can include when booking equipment. Common examples include life jackets, GoPro mounts, coolers, extra passengers, fishing gear, or Bluetooth speakers. Add-ons have their own pricing and inventory, and are assigned to specific equipment items. How add-ons work [#how-add-ons-work] Add-ons exist at the **location level** and are then **assigned to individual equipment items**. This two-step design lets you create a single "Life Jacket" add-on and reuse it across multiple equipment items, each with its own quantity allocation and usage limits. When a customer selects equipment during booking, they see the add-ons assigned to that equipment and can choose quantities within the configured limits. Step 1: Create an add-on [#step-1-create-an-add-on] 1. In the sidebar, click **Add-Ons** to open the add-on list page. 2. Click the **Create Add-On** button. A creation dialog opens. 3. Fill in the required fields: | Field | Required | Description | | ---------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Add-On Name** | Yes | A customer-facing name (e.g., "Life Jacket", "GoPro Mount", "Extra Passenger"). | | **Quantity Available** | Yes | The total number of units you have across your entire location. Must be 0 or greater. | | **Price per Unit** | Yes | The price charged to the customer for each unit. Set to `0.00` for complimentary add-ons. | | **Description** | Yes | A customer-facing description explaining what the add-on includes. | | **Represents Guest** | No | Enable this toggle if each unit of the add-on represents an additional person or passenger. When enabled, the system includes add-on quantity in guest count calculations. For example, an "Extra Passenger" add-on with this toggle on will increase the booking's guest count. | 4. Click **Create Add-On**. Step 2: Assign the add-on to equipment [#step-2-assign-the-add-on-to-equipment] After creating the add-on, you need to assign it to the equipment items where it should be available. 1. In the sidebar, click **Equipment**, then select the equipment item. 2. Navigate to the **Addon Assignments** section on the equipment settings page. 3. Click **Assign Addon**. A modal opens showing all available add-ons. 4. Select the add-on you want to assign. The configuration form appears. 5. Fill in the assignment settings: | Field | Description | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Quantity to Assign** | How many units of this add-on to allocate to this equipment. Cannot exceed the add-on's remaining available quantity (total minus already-assigned-elsewhere). | | **Usage Limit** | The maximum number of add-on units a customer can select in a single context. | | **Limit Type** | How the usage limit is applied. See the table below. | | **Assignment Status** | Enable or disable this add-on for this equipment. Disabled assignments are hidden from customers. | Limit type options [#limit-type-options] | Limit Type | Description | Example | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Per Equipment** | The limit applies per unit of equipment selected. | Limit of 2 life jackets per jet ski. If customer books 3 jet skis, they can add up to 6 life jackets (2 x 3). | | **Per Booking** | The limit applies to the entire booking regardless of equipment quantity. | Limit of 1 cooler per booking. Even if the customer books 5 kayaks, they can only add 1 cooler. | | **Per Person** | The limit applies per guest in the booking. | Limit of 1 snorkel set per person. A booking for 4 guests can add up to 4 snorkel sets. | 6. Click **Assign Addon**. Edit an add-on assignment [#edit-an-add-on-assignment] 1. On the equipment's **Addon Assignments** section, find the assignment you want to change. 2. Click the three-dot menu on the assignment card. 3. Select **Edit Assignment**. 4. Update the quantity, limit, limit type, or status. 5. Click **Save Changes**. Remove an add-on assignment [#remove-an-add-on-assignment] 1. Click the three-dot menu on the assignment card. 2. Select **Remove**. 3. Confirm the deletion. Removing an assignment does not delete the add-on itself -- it only unlinks it from that equipment. Edit or delete an add-on [#edit-or-delete-an-add-on] To change the add-on's name, description, price, or quantity: 1. In the sidebar, click **Add-Ons**, then select the add-on. 2. Update the fields and click **Save**. To delete an add-on entirely: 1. On the add-on detail page, click **Delete**. 2. Confirm the deletion. Deleting an add-on removes all of its assignments. Existing bookings that include the add-on are not affected. Tips [#tips] * **Quantity is shared across assignments.** If you have 10 life jackets and assign 6 to "Jet Ski" and 4 to "Kayak", all 10 are accounted for. You cannot assign more than the total. * **Use "Represents Guest" for passenger add-ons.** This ensures guest count validation works correctly. For example, a jet ski with capacity 2 and default occupancy 1 can accept 1 "Extra Passenger" add-on before hitting capacity. * **Add-ons support their own media.** You can upload images to add-on detail pages so customers can see what they are adding. * **Disabled assignments are hidden, not deleted.** Toggle an assignment off during the off-season and back on when needed, preserving all configuration. * **Price per unit is charged per add-on selected.** If a customer selects 3 life jackets at $5 each, the add-on line item is $15.
