Link additional bookable add-ons to accommodations

Optional add-ons are products or services that guests can add to their reservation. These add-ons can be added by call center or front desk employees via Reservation Manager, or guests can book them themselves during the reservation process or later through the guest portal.

Examples include a high chair, an extra set of towels, or a late check-out.

Inheritance

Maxxton utilises data inheritance, which allows configurations applied to a higher-level parent in the hierarchy to be automatically inherited by the underlying resources.

For example, when an add-on is added to an accommodation type, it is automatically associated with all the underlying units due to inheritance.

Create a new link

You can link optional add-ons in three ways, depending on your use case:

• Single or multiple add-ons to a single accommodation type: from the accommodation type detail page.
• Single add-on to multiple accommodation types: from the add-on detail page.
• Multiple add-ons to multiple accommodation types: via batch update.

Unlink or adjust optional add-ons

If a link is incorrect or no longer required, you can either unlink or adjust it at any time.

The add-on is no longer bookable for the selected accommodation type(s). Existing reservations will remain unaffected.
