# Set Add-on Charge Rules

For multi-day services, you can choose how an Add-on is charged based on the **booking duration**, **number of participants**, or both.

This gives you more flexibility when offering extras such as equipment rental, meals, additional services, or other optional products.

For example, an equipment rental can be charged **per participant, per day**, while another Add-on can be charged only **once for the entire booking**.

***

### ⚙️ Set up an Add-on charge rule

1. Open the app > go to **Services** > open the multi-day service you want to edit
2. Scroll down to **Questions & Add-ons**
3. Click **Add questions** to create an Add-on field, or edit an existing Add-on

4. In the Add-on settings, find **How customers will be charged?**  > choose the charging rule that best matches how you want to price the Add-on

You can choose from:

* **Per participant, per day**
* **One-time**
* **Per participant**
* **Per day**

### 💰 Understand each charge rule

Let's use the same example to see how each option works.

#### Example setup

Service: **Studio rent**

Booking duration: **3 days**

Participants: **2**

Add-on: **Lighting equipment**

Add-on price: **$20**

***

#### Per participant, per day

The Add-on is charged for each participant for each day of the booking.

With our example:

`$20 × 2 participants × 3 days = $120`

The Add-on total is **$120**.

This option is useful when the Add-on cost depends on both the number of people and the booking duration.

***

#### One-time

The Add-on is charged once for the entire booking, regardless of the booking duration or number of participants.

With our example:

`$20 = $20`

The Add-on total is **$20**.

Even though the booking is for 3 days and 2 participants, the Add-on is only charged once.

***

#### Per participant

The Add-on is charged once for each participant, regardless of how long the booking lasts.

With our example:

`$20 × 2 participants = $40`

The Add-on total is **$40**.

The 3-day booking duration does not increase the Add-on price.

**Example uses:**

* Registration fee per person
* Equipment assigned to each participant for the whole booking
* Welcome package for each guest

***

#### Per day

The Add-on is charged once for each day of the booking, regardless of the number of participants.

With our example:

`$20 × 3 days = $60`

The Add-on total is **$60**.

The number of participants does not affect the Add-on price.
