Add-ons are extras travelers can buy with a trip: equipment hire, insurance, an airport transfer. Travelers pick them at checkout, and you can pick them when you create a booking yourself. Each add-on becomes a line on the booking.
Add an add-on
Go to Settings → Experiences, open the experience, and click Edit.
Open the Pricing & Participants tab.
In Add-ons, click New Add-on.
Enter a Name, an optional Description, and a Price. Prices include VAT.
Choose the Pricing unit:
Per booking — bought for the booking as a whole. Turn on One purchase per booking to show travelers a single tick instead of a quantity.
Per participant — on a multi-day trip, bought for the whole party by default; the traveler can also assign it to some participants only. On a day tour, sold as a quantity, up to the number of participants.
In Availability, enter how many you can sell on each departure. Leave it empty for unlimited.
Choose where it is offered: Available for fixed departures, Available for private tours (on request), or both. At least one must be on.
On a multi-day tour, turn off Available in all packages to offer the add-on only with the packages you select.
Click Save changes.
You can also add up to 5 photos under Images. Travelers see a thumbnail at checkout and can open the photos full-size.
How stock works
Stock is counted per departure, not per experience. With Availability set to 10, you can sell 10 on every departure.
Samba checks stock when the traveler builds their cart and again before charging the card. Once a departure's stock is gone, the add-on stops selling on that departure.
Stock is taken when the booking is confirmed. If another traveler takes the last unit first, the booking fails before any money is taken.
A new add-on is offered on departures starting today or later.
Stock limits apply to bookings you create yourself too.
What happens next
The total for an add-on is its price × quantity. There are no quantity discounts.
A booking keeps the add-on name and price it was sold with, even if you later change or delete the add-on.
Need a different add-on price on one date? Price that departure on its own.
How do add-ons work with booking requests?
How do add-ons work with booking requests?
Samba checks add-ons once, when the traveler sends the request, against the add-on's Availability. When you accept the request, the booking keeps those add-ons as they were requested. See Understanding booking requests.
A traveler booked different packages for their group. Who can get a package-limited add-on?
A traveler booked different packages for their group. Who can get a package-limited add-on?
Only the participants whose own package includes the add-on.
Can I add or remove an add-on after the booking is confirmed?
Can I add or remove an add-on after the booking is confirmed?
Yes, by editing the booking. Samba adjusts the stock by the difference, and refuses the edit if stock is short.
