🎒 Rentals: Add-ons — Optional Extras on Bookings

🧭 Overview

Rentals now supports Add-ons — optional extras that customers or admins can attach to a booking, such as a pet fee, GPS unit, guided tour, or equipment insurance. Admins can build a global catalog of reusable add-ons, attach them to listings, and configure flexible pricing with quantity controls, images, and tax support. Customers see add-ons in a dedicated section of the booking widget, can select quantities, and watch their total update in real time — with every selected add-on appearing transparently as a line item on their invoice.

🚀 What's New?

✅ Global Add-on Catalog

Admins can now create reusable Add-on items from Calendars → Calendar Settings → Rentals → Add-ons. Each add-on includes a name, description, image, pricing configuration, max quantity, and tax settings — and can be attached to as many listings as needed without being recreated each time.

✅ Flexible Pricing Options

Add-ons support Flat amount (fixed charge) or Percentage (of base rental subtotal) pricing. Flat add-ons can be further configured as Per booking (one fixed charge) or Per booking unit (charged per hour, day, week, or month matching the listing's booking unit). Max quantity is a flat cap per booking — set how many of each add-on a customer can select.

✅ Listing-Level Attachment & Editing

Add-ons can be attached to listings directly from the global catalog — ideal for attaching one add-on across multiple listings at once — or from the Add-ons tab within each individual listing. Add-on settings can be edited at listing level, with changes applying globally across all listings sharing that add-on.

✅ Customer-Facing Booking Widget

After selecting dates, customers see a dedicated Add-ons section with image cards, names, descriptions, prices, and quantity selectors. Selecting or removing an add-on updates the total price dynamically. Add-ons marked Hide from booking page are not shown to customers but can still be added by admins.

✅ Tax Support

Taxes can be independently configured per add-on and are shown as a separate line — keeping amounts transparent and tax reporting accurate.

🧩 How to Use It

1. Go to Calendars → Calendar Settings → Rentals → Add-ons.
2. Click + New Add-on and fill in the name, description, image (optional), pricing type, amount, pricing unit, and max quantity.
3. Optionally select listings to attach directly from the create modal, then click Create Add-on.
4. To attach or update listings on an existing add-on, click the Edit icon from the Add-ons table and manage listings from there.
5. To configure tax on an add-on, save it first, then edit it and click Configure tax.
6. Customers will see the Add-ons section in the booking widget after selecting dates. Admins can also add, remove, or update add-on quantities on existing bookings from the booking edit screen.

🎯 Why This Matters

• Rental businesses can now upsell optional extras natively — eliminating workarounds like duplicate listings, manual invoicing, or external tools just to offer a pet fee or GPS unit.
• Real-time price updates in the booking widget give customers full visibility before confirming, improving trust and reducing post-booking disputes.
• A global catalog with listing-level attachment means operators manage add-ons in one place, not inside every listing individually.
• Full tax and invoice support ensures add-on charges are handled correctly end-to-end — from widget to receipt.
• This closes a top-requested feature from users and brings Rentals in line with industry-standard booking platforms.
