comment-plusAdd 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 custom field

Example: “Special requests”

  1. Click Add questions

  2. Choose Text

  3. Set:

    • Label: Special requests

    • (Optional) Turn on Required

  4. Save

✅ Result: customers can type information during booking.

On the booking form, the custom field set will show up before customer click Confirm button.


💰 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)

  1. Set checkbox with

  • Label: Add-ons (optional)

  • Turn on Add-on

  • Turn on Allow multiple selections

  1. Add options:

  • Option 1 label: Mat rental

  • Option 2 label: Towel rental

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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)).
