Creating a new Additional Product

Additional Products are created independently of Booking Products, but can then be applied to existing Booking Products.  For example, when you purchase a ticket for a trampoline park, you may also wish to purchase socks additionally to your ticket – ‘Socks’ are an additional product that can be applied to any number of Booking Products (ie: any of your jump tickets).
 
Follow these sections below to add and configure a new Additional Product.
 

Creating a new Additional Product

1.  From the Product Builder Dashboard, select the ‘Additional Products’ tab:
 
 
2.  Click the NEW button (right hand side) and you’ll see this screen:
 
 
3. By default, the Product Name is set to “[site name] – [today’s date/time]”. You can change this as appropriate, EG: ‘Socks’ or ‘Additional Jumpers’ or ‘Lolly bags’, etc.
 
4.  The ‘Short Description’ is blank by default. If filled in, this short description is visible on the Customer booking site below the product title.
 
5.  The ‘View Full Description’ button allows you to add and format text for a more detailed description – this is where you can really sell that product or add additional information that will be helpful or necessary for customers.
 
6.  By default, a new Product is inactive and also not visible on either the Staff or Customer booking sites – slide over the toggles to activate the Product and present to Staff and Customers sites as required:
 
 
NB: the left-facing arrow in the Product name section is the ‘back’ button that will take you back to the Product Builder Dashboard.
 
Changes are saved as you make them, there is no ‘Save’ button
 

Adding Images to an Additional Product

By default, no image is associated with a Product. To add an image:

2.  Any existing images that have already been uploaded will be visible.
 
3.  Click the ‘New’ button to upload a new image file.
 
4.  Once uploaded, the image will appear in the Image panel on the left hand side.
 
5.  To apply this image to the Product, drag and drop the image from the Image panel on the ‘No Image’ area to the top right of the Product:
 
 
NB: Changes are saved as you go, there is no save button!
