Feature Detail: Simple Add-ons

A Simple add-on uses the same foundation for creation as the product shell but it is different in that add-ons can only be added to the cart when purchased alongside core product(s). Add-on selection is visible on the product detail page (PDP) of a core product and can be set up as either a selection that is optional or a selection that is required. Typically, add-on selection is set up to be optional, such as the “pass refund protection” add-on for ski passes pictured below, but they can also be marked as required, which can be helpful when setting up a discounted family pass product that requires multiple guests being assigned in checkout.

Feature Detail: Attributed Add-ons

An attributed add-on uses the same foundation for creation as a simple add-on, but an attributed add-on requires additional setup and the add-on product has an attribute assigned to it with attribute values. This enables resorts to offer more complex add-ons. When an attributed add-on is assigned properly to a core product, the linked attribute value that is selected on the PDP will trigger the matching attributed add-on value to display. The “linked” add on will be visible on the PDP with the appropriate add-on attribute value, and the corresponding SKU and price will be booked in the POS when selected. The screenshot below shows an example of a helmet add-on. Based on the linked attribute, when “Number of Days” is selected the following changes:

  1. Add-on name

  2. Add-on SKU

  3. Add-on price
