How to Create, Edit, and Assign Add-ons in Sparkforge Services

Add-ons are optional extras attached to a service so customers can personalize their booking. They can be supplementary services or related products and may affect total time and price.

What add-ons are

Add-ons let you offer upgrades or extras at the moment of booking. A few examples:

• A spa offering an Aromatherapy Upgrade on a massage.
• A trainer offering Nutritional Consultation alongside a workout plan.
• A photographer offering Additional Edited Photos with a photoshoot package.

Add-ons increase per-booking revenue and let customers shape the service to fit them.

Why use add-ons

• Upsell at booking: capture more revenue without manual follow-up.
• Personalized bookings: customers pick the extras they actually want.
• Transparent pricing: quantity-based pricing calculates total cost at checkout.
• Service-specific relevance: add-ons only show on the services they're assigned to.
• Faster setup: create once, assign anywhere it applies.

Where to create add-ons

Two paths:

• Add-ons tab: a centralized list across services.
• Inside a service: any add-on you create here is auto-assigned to that service.

Assigning add-ons to services

Creating an add-on doesn't make it appear everywhere. Assign it to each service where it should show up.

• One add-on can link to many services.
• Add-ons only appear on booking pages for services they're linked to.
• Customers see add-ons as optional extras during booking.

How to assign

1. Go to Calendar → Calendar Settings → Services.
2. Open the service editor (three-dot menu > Edit).
3. Click the Add-on tab on the left.
4. Click + Add-ons.
5. Pick existing add-ons or create a new one.
6. Click Save.

How to create an add-on

1. Go to Calendar → Calendar Settings → Services.
2. Open the Add-ons tab.
3. Click + New Add-on in the top right.
4. Fill in the details:
   • Image: upload from your computer or Media Library.
   • Name: keep it clear (e.g., Lavender Massage Oil).
   • Price: cost of the add-on.
   • Duration: check the box if it adds time to the appointment. That time stacks on top of the service duration.
   • Maximum Quantity: cap how many units a customer can pick.
   • Multiple Price with Quantity: if on, price multiplies by quantity (e.g., $20 × 2 = $40).
   • Description: spell out the value.
   • Hide from Booking Page: keep it staff-only.
5. Click Create Add-on.

How to edit or delete add-ons

1. Go to Calendar → Calendar Settings → Services.
2. Open the Add-ons tab.
3. Use the pencil icon to edit, or the trash icon to delete.

Best practices

• Use clear names and images so customers get it instantly.
• Cap maximum quantity for items tied to physical stock.
• Bundle popular add-ons with the right services to lift average order.
• Use hidden add-ons for staff-only adjustments at the time of service.
