Add-on products can be used when you have items that must always include another product with the sale. This could be, for example, a bottle bill fee that needs to be added when selling a soft drink.
The first step is to create the products that will be used. That means:
The main product that requires an add-on product, and of course the add-on product itself.
In this case, we have a soft drink that needs to have a Bottle Bill Fee as an add-on product.
To ensure that the add-on product is included every time the main product is sold, simply open the main product (in this case, our soft drink) and navigate to the “Add-on Products” section.
Here, you can search for items and add them as add-on products to your main product.
In this example, we have selected “Bottle Bill Fee” as an add-on product for our soft drink.
This means that moving forward, “Bottle Bill Fee” will automatically be added whenever this soft drink is sold.
This applies both at the checkout and in job or service order management.
You can add multiple different add-on products to a single main product, and you can also specify how many units of each add-on should be included in the sale.
This is useful, for example, if you sell knitting patterns and want to automatically include various yarn skeins, knitting needles, and other accessories—without having to scan each item manually.
