  • If needed, you can assign it to a category

  • Decide whether to make it visible in your booking engine and/or your Octosite

  • Choose whether to display your extras in the booking engine with an expanded or compact view

  • Set the extra as mandatory, if necessary

  • Decide if the extra is refundable

  • Show in rate plans: Enable this option if you want to add this extra to a rate plan to create a package

  • Show in PMS

Set the price:

  • Enter the price

  • Enter the VAT you want to apply to this extra; if VAT is 0, you can also set the type of exemption and the legal reference

  • Set a unit of measure

Set a room filter if you want to apply this extra only to certain room types

Description
Enter a description for your extra service and/or a name, if you want a different name to appear in your booking engine.

โš ๏ธ ATTENTION: Mandatory extras will not be added automatically if you enter a manual reservation directly from the calendar. If you also want them to be calculated for your manual bookings, you will need to enter it from bookings > add new.
The only exception is for cleaning fees: if the cleaning fee is correctly linked to the category, then it will be added automatically if set as mandatory.

If you want to include your extra services in a special offer, you will need to insert the created extra into the rate plan and then create a package.
