Appointment add-on examples by business type

Add-ons are easiest to understand through your own business. Pick your type below for a worked example — two add-on items, one add-on group, one add-on service, what your customers see on the booking summary, and the edits you will make later. Every example uses the same three building blocks, summarised at the end.

What kind of business are you?

Add-ons apply to appointment services only. Class-only studios will find their examples framed around the private sessions, assessments and court or lane bookings they also run.

The three kinds in one minute

Everything lives under Admin → Appointments → Addons:

  • Add-on item (/admin/appointments/addons/items) — a priced extra with an optional Duration in minutes. Linking Mode Standalone ticks it straight onto services through its Classes pill; Part of Group offers it only through its group. Scope Per Booking charges once, Per Person per attendee. Use it for anything that only changes price or length.
  • Add-on group (/admin/appointments/addons/groups) — a named set of Part of Group items with a Selection Mode: Single (Required) must pick exactly one, Single (Optional) one or None, Multiple any combination. Use it when the customer chooses between options.
  • Add-on service (/admin/appointments/addons/addon-classes) — a real second appointment service linked to a main service, scheduled Sequential (after it, optionally with buffer times) or Parallel (same time, optionally the same instructor). Use it when the extra needs its own time on an instructor or room.

Ask the assistant

When you ask the admin AI assistant about add-ons, it starts from the example that matches the business type you chose during onboarding — so you can simply ask it to walk you through your own case. It reads your current add-on catalogue first and shows each item, group or add-on service change for approval before anything is saved.
