Add-ons

An add-on is an optional extra attached to a ticket, such as a meal, a shuttle seat, or a workshop place. Add-ons are organised into groups, and this split is the key idea: the group carries the rules for how many can be chosen and who sees them, while each add-on inside it carries its own price and stock.

Groups and add-ons

An add-on group is a set of related choices with shared rules, for example “Meals” or “Transport.”
An add-on is one option within a group, for example “Saturday dinner” or “Airport shuttle.”

You create a group first, then add the individual add-ons inside it. Each group appears as its own step in the registration flow, so attendees work through your groups one at a time. Grouping related choices together keeps sign-up tidy.

Both groups and add-ons have a title and a description; the description supports Markdown formatting.

Registration → Addons

The list shows your groups; opening a group has a tab listing the add-ons within it.

Group rules

A group’s Behaviour settings decide how attendees choose from it:

Allow multiple selections: whether someone can pick more than one add-on from the group. Off means it behaves like a single choice.
Allow duplicate selections: whether someone can pick the same add-on more than once (for example two of the same meal).
Minimum selections: how many they must choose. 0 makes the whole group optional; 1 or more makes it required.
Maximum selections: the most they can choose. 0 means no limit.
Booking cutoff and edit cutoff: the latest date add-ons in the group can be booked, and the latest they can be changed.
Available for day passes: whether the group is offered on day-pass tickets.

Add-on settings

Each add-on inside a group has its own:

Price and, if you want to cap it, limited inventory with a total and a remaining count.
Enabled and visible switches, and a sort order. As with booking types, an add-on that is turned off or hidden can only be chosen during registration by staff with the Administrator or Registration role, or by someone who applies a voucher that unlocks it. Turning off the whole group closes every add-on in it to everyone except those staff, and a voucher can’t reopen a closed group. To give a customer an add-on they can’t choose themselves, staff create and submit the booking for them, and the customer then pays for the order from My Account.
Day pass settings, to tie the add-on to day passes and a specific day.
Booking and edit cutoffs, which override the group’s cutoffs when set.
Auto-assign tags, so booking this add-on tags the ticket.

Lining up add-ons with booking types

You control which add-ons appear for which tickets from either side, whichever is easier:

From the add-on group (and per add-on): restrict a group, or a single add-on, to chosen booking types.
From the booking type: use its restrict available add-ons option to narrow which add-ons that type is offered.

An add-on is offered on a ticket only when both sides agree, so use whichever direction keeps your setup clearest.

Common patterns

The group rules cover most real needs. A few examples:

Transport (pick one, optional). A “Transport” group with multiple selections off and a minimum of 0: attendees may choose one option (say, coach or shuttle) or none.
Catering package (must choose). A “Meal plan” group with a minimum of 1: everyone must pick a plan before they can finish.
Activities (pick several, limited places). An “Activities” group with multiple selections on and a sensible maximum, where each activity add-on has its own limited inventory, so popular sessions sell out independently while others stay open.

Bundling merch with an add-on

You can include a merch item with an add-on, so booking the add-on also hands over an item such as a tote bag. This is set up on the merch side. See Included merch.
