Create an Add-on Service

An Add-on service is integrated into a regular service and is booked and performed during a regular service appointment. Example: A Steam Therapy could be an add-on for a Facial Massage. Note that you cannot book it as a standalone appointment and has to always be associated to a main service.

Creating an Add-on service includes the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Service Management Area
2. Complete the Service Profile
3. Select the Locations where the Service is Available
4. Select Skill Levels to Perform the Service
5. Select the Service Equipment and Facilities
6. Select the Service Providers and the Commission for the Service
7. Select the Services
   
   

Step 1: Navigate to the Service Management Area

1. From the main menu, navigate to Admin > Service Management.
2. Click the Service Group the Add-on service will belong to.

   The Class is the first level of product classification and is often used to break down product and service mixes into major categories. For example, Retail and Service.
5. Sub-class: Select the sub-class.
   The Sub-class is the second level of product/service classification and is used to further define inventory into groups. For example Hair Products, Body, Waxes etc.

9. Duration, Pre Time, clean-up time: Enter the duration time, pre time, and clean-up time in the designated fields.
   These times are only shown in intervals on the calendar. If there are 0 minutes or 0 hours, enter 0 as the field cannot be blank.
10. Process time: Enter the process time. This time is only shown in intervals on the calendar. If there are 0 minutes or 0 hours, enter 0 as the field cannot be blank.
11. Price: Enter the price the customer will pay for the service. The price is the price listed when the service is booked and checked out.
    You may have a staff specific pricing. If you do, then that price will override the price entered in this field.
    [Optional] Pricing by Duration: Select the checkbox for the system to automatically recalculate the price when the duration is revised during booking.
    Example, a deep tissue massage is 90 minutes duration at $90.  When the customer calls, they would like a 45 minute deep tissue massage instead. If the duration on the appointment is changed to 45 minutes, the price automatically adjusts to $45.
12. Prompt Price Edit on Package/Series or GC Sale: Select the checkbox to prompt the user to enter their credentials when manually editing the price of the package or gift card that includes the services in it.
    [Optional] Consumption charge: Enter the amount incurred to provide the service. For instance, you may have rented an equipment to provide the service.
    [Optional] Service Charge Exempt: Select the checkbox if you do not want to include a service charge when checking out or selling this service.

    When a complimentary service is added to a regular service, a prompt window appears during booking to notify the user that they have an option of booking a complimentary service as well.
    Note: The price and duration are respected according to the service setup. If a complimentary service is also listed as a regular service, we recommend that you set up two separate services (one free and the other with the regular service price). Read: How can I set up a complimentary service?
