# Add custom fields and add-ons

## ℹ️ What is “Questions & Add-ons”?

Use **Questions & Add-ons** to customize what customers see in the booking widget:

* **Custom fields**: ask customers for information (free, no price change)\
  Examples: name, notes, preferences, address, allergies.
* **Add-ons**: let customers choose optional extras that **add to the total price**\
  Examples: extra 30 minutes, document review, equipment rental.

> Tip: Add-ons are created inside a question field by linking options to products/variants (so the price is added automatically).

***

## ℹ️  Where to find it

1. Go to: **Tipo Booking → Services** 
2. Open a service 
3. Scroll down to **Questions & Add-ons  section**

## 💰 Add a paid add-on (extra price)

#### Example: “Upgrades” (customers can choose extras)

In this guide, we’ll set up a service like this:

* **Service:** Yoga Class (**$20**)
* **Custom field:** “Any injuries we should know about?” (Text)
* **Add-ons:**
  * Mat rental (**+$5**)
  * Towel rental (**+$3**)

### Before you start

Make sure you already have products/variants in Shopify for your add-ons (so the extra price can be added automatically).

**Create these add-on products (examples):**

* **Mat rental** — price **$5**
* **Towel rental** — price **$3**

> Tip: If your add-ons already exist as products/variants, you can reuse them.

### Step 1: Create the service (Yoga Class)

1. In Shopify admin, open **Tipo Booking** app **> Services**
2. Click **New service**
3. Enter:
   * **Service name:** Yoga Class
   * **Price:** $20 (or set via product/variant depending on your setup)
   * **Duration / Capacity / Payment** as needed
4. Click **Save**

### Step 2: Add paid add-ons (Mat rental + Towel rental)

We’ll create an add-on field where customers can select extras.

1. Still in **Questions & Add-ons**, click **Add questions**
2. Choose **Checkbox** (best when customers can choose more than one add-on)

3. Set checkbox with

* **Label:** Add-ons (optional)
* Turn on **Add-on**
* Turn on **Allow multiple selections**

4. Add options:

* **Option 1 label:** Mat rental
* **Option 2 label:** Towel rental

<figure><img src="/files/KhZ6SV8vO6W2L3lTawOi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. For each option, attach the matching add-on product/variant:

* Mat rental → select the **Mat rental ($5)** product/variant
* Towel rental → select the **Towel rental ($3)** product/variant

5. Click **Save/Change**

### **Step 3:** Turn on the label format for add-ons (optional)

1. In the app > open **Settings** > scroll to **Add-ons**
2. In **Label format**, enter your preferred format. Example:\
   `(+ {{addon}})`
3. Enable:

* **Show on field’s label**
* **Show on field’s options**

4. Click **Save**

#### What customers will see at checkout

On the booking form, customers will see add-ons like:

* ☐ Mat rental
* ✅ Towel rental

…and the add-on title can display with your chosen format (for example: `Add-ons (+ $3.00 USD)`).
