Aspenware now offers resorts the opportunity to dynamically price add-ons. The benefits of this include enhanced revenue opportunities and an improved guest experience.
...
Add-ons still cannot have required attributes. To handle this, the attribute ‘Start Date’ must be added to the add-on product, and [Date] should be included as a text prompt. However, the date should not be set as a required field for the add-on product. This functionality remains unchanged from the current behavior of dated add-ons.
Since add-ons can now be dynamically priced, the “Is Dynamically Priced” product classification must be applied to any dynamically priced add-on product, just as it would be for a core product.
For an add-on product to be dynamically priced, it must follow the same rules as a core product, requiring at least one attribute combination to be priced. This means:
Add-ons must be configured as “Attributed Add-Ons” to enable dynamic pricing.
They can have just one attribute combination, which can be mapped to a dummy attribute on a core product or potentially left unmapped.

IMPORTANT: In version 3.7, dynamically priced add-ons must have pricing defined for every date that the core product is priced. If any add-on variant is missing pricing for dates when the core product is available, it will be sold at $0. This issue will be resolved in version 3.8, but as this is a pilot release, the fix is not included in version 3.7. |
No changes to add-on setup or pricing (Levels cannot cascade across products)
While we’ve made enhancements to pricing and display, there are no changes to the way add-ons are set up. Pricing tiers still do not cascade across products, so you’ll continue to manage each product's pricing independently.

New Note Alert for unavailable add-ons
A new alert is displayed above dynamically priced add-ons (inventoried/cutoff in the future) that are not yet selectable due to dates not being set. This customizable note, available through language strings and Theme Designer (TD) options, informs users when add-ons are disabled because the date is not set yet, preventing confusion and improving the shopping experience.
Language String | Default text | Notes/Location |
