An Add-on is any item that a customer can add to their rental or tour booking for an additional price. These are items that are only booked along with the main rental or activity, and offered as an option during checkout.
BookingCentral allows you to create add-ons for your products in the Custom Field settings. This article will show you:

Once they make a selection, and they choose the add the option to their booking, it will reflect on the checkout page, and in the price.
