An add on product is the sale of an additional product, or SKU, accompanied with a core product. An add-on can be optional or required depending on setup. An add on product can also be set up to “match” certain aspects of the core product, so that if a 2 day ticket is being sold, only a 2 day rental add on is offered as an accompanying product.
This setup is supported for: All versions of Aspenware Commerce.
This setup is not supported for: Dynamic pricing and Email content for add-ons are not supported.

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:
Add-on name
Add-on SKU
Add-on price
