Create and manage extras
How to create optional or mandatory extras like meals or rentals, and control how they appear on your booking engine.
Table of Contents
Extras let you offer additional services or products—like meals, conference rooms, or rentals—through your booking engine.
Extras can’t be sold individually through booking channels, but you can bundle them with rooms by creating package deals. Extras can be optional or mandatory, depending on your setup.
How to create extras
- Go to Settings > Extras and click Add New.
- Enter a name and description for each language you support.
- Upload images. Images must be:
- PNG, GIF, JPG, or JPEG formats.
- Less than 10MB
- At least 1000 x 300 px for best quality.
- Set a fixed price.
- Select applicable taxes and mark whether the extra is exempt from any surcharges.
- (Optional) Set a Sort Order to control where this extra appears in lists, including on your booking engines. Otherwise, leave this set to Auto.
- Adjust Max per booking, Choice range, and Default quantity as needed.
- Click Save.
Example:
You might create a “Breakfast” extra with the following settings:
- Max per booking: Ten (10)
- Default quantity: Zero (0)
- Choice range: Between 0 - max quantity
This means guests won’t have any breakfasts selected by default, but they can choose up to 10 during the booking process.
How to create mandatory extras
To make an extra automatically added to all bookings made from the front desk or your booking engine (but not from connected channels):
- Go to Settings > Extras, then either click Edit on an existing extra or click Add New.
- Under Choice range, select Always included.
- Click Save.
