Introduction

Extras are a way to add additional charges and fees to a child's account outside of their everyday book patterns.

Extras are highly flexible and so could be anything from charging for nappies to evening Spanish classes. Once you have created the extras you can assign them to the children the same way that you assign them bookings.

How to create Extras

To create Extras, you will need to go to Bookings > Settings > Extras.

To create an extra, you will need to:

Step 1 - Click + Add Extra Purchase

Step 2 - Add a Name

Step 3 - Select a colour (This will be used to display on the bookings calendar)

Step 4 - Set a price (This will be a one-off fee)

Step 5 - Select Save

Manage your Extras

Now that you have created an Extra, you are able to review the details and it is now ready to be used to apply fees within a child's bookings calendar.

Hints: Extras are one-off fees and so will need to be added to a child every time you wish to add a fee. If you wish to charge a weekly recurring fee then you should consider how often you wish to invoice for that child and consider creating an Extra that covers the full duration.

Example:

Nappies for 1 week = £5

Nappies for 1 Month = £25

Nappies for 1 Term = £75

Nappies for 1 Year = £225
