1. Description of add-ons and advantages

Cross-selling is a simple sales technique that offers complementary products, add-ons, to your existing products in order to offer a variety of choices to your customers and to increase your revenue.

You decide in advance and in total flexibility to which tickets you wish to add a cross-selling option so that your customers can enjoy a unique experience. For this reason, add-ons should be chosen carefully according to the behaviour of the customers.

During the booking process, your clients will be able to select their tickets and then choose the add-on of their choice.

2. How to setup add-ons

There are 3 steps for setting up add-ons. Firstly, you need to have a base product/ticket that you want to add a cross-selling option to (for example entry to your trampoline park). Secondly, you need to create add-ons tickets (for example socks to jump), and thirdly you need to associate the add-ons with the base ticket.

1. Create the base product with its tickets

To start with, you need a base product, after which add-ons will be offered. If your base product does not exist yet, you need to create one. After creating the product, you must create tickets for it. For more information, please refer to this article.

2. Create add-ons tickets

An add-on is a ticket that you associate with a product/ticket group. You can either create additional tickets for each add-on or reuse standard tickets.

Go to "Products" > Select a product > "Tickets" > "Create a ticket"

To use a ticket as an add-on, you may choose between these 3 types of tickets:

1. Ticket with recurring dates: choose this option if your add-ons are recurring every day over a long period of time.

2. Ticket with a single date: choose this option if your add-ons are specifically recurring on a single date.

3. Gift card ticket: choose this option if you want to add add-ons in the form of gift cards or vouchers from you or one of your providers.

When you set up your Add-on ticket:

3. Configuration and association of add-ons to a product

At this stage, you need to return to your main product in order to proceed to the configuration process of the add-ons on the main tickets.

1. Products > click on the desired product > Tickets > choose the ticket, which will suggest an add-on > Add-ons

2. In this section, you have the option of:

   • Limit the number of add-ons per ticket
   • Require customers to fill in custom fields in order to obtain additional information
   • Send add-ons on separate tickets in order to provide flexibility to your customers
     
     
3. Then, click on Add add-on

Here are the elements to be filled in to link an add-on to a ticket:

1. Add-on ticket:
   1. Choose the product under which the add-on has been created
   2. Then the exact ticket of the add-on
   3. And its price

   2. Select the location of the add-on (first page or intermediary page)
3. Quantity:

   2. If the add-on is visible to the end customer
      1. Select if the add-in is mandatory or not (ex: an audio guide is needed to visit XYZ museum, you can set that each ticket requires no more and no less than one audio guide as an add-on.)
