Retail Items are any additional option that can be added to a booking for a price.
Retail Items are only options for the business to add to a booking through the system, and are not available as booking options for online sales.
Booking Options for online sales are called Add-ons and are setup using Custom Fields in the system.
Common examples of retail items are:
- Fuel Charges
- Damage Charges
- Retail items such as t-shirts

To do so, open the booking, and select the Add Retail link on the order screen.
