What Is An Extra?

An Extra is essentiallly an add-on product that you are selling alongside Packages. This could be anything from USB Sticks to Green Screen to Additional Hour Hire. You can apply each Extra to individual bookable unit types, and include them within Packages if you desire. Any included Extras will be highlighted to customers on the booking form.

How To Add an Extra

You can create a new Extra by going to your BoothBook dashboard

  1. click the Configuration (cog) icon on the tool bar on the left and go to Assets (camera) icon, then click on Extras.
  2. Click Add a new Extras Product.
  3. Add in the Title, and the Service type/s it applies to.
  4. You have the option to Limit by Event Type if you only want to show a Scrapbook for Weddings for example. 
  5. You have the option to show the Extra within an Extras Group. For example if you want to add a group of backdrops but only allow the customer to choose one backdrop per booking.
  6. Enter the Price (in 50.00 format, the currency sign will be shown by BoothBook).
