How to Add Add-Ons and Packages in Merlua

Enhance your service menu by offering optional add-ons and bundled packages. Add-ons let clients customize an individual service, while packages combine multiple services into one convenient offering.

Adding an Add-On

Add-ons are optional extras that clients can select when booking a service.

Step 1: Open Add-Ons

From the Merlua dashboard, go to Add-ons under the Management section.

Step 2: Create a New Add-On

Select Add Add-On to create a new option.

Enter the details for the add-on, such as:

• Add-on name
• Price
• Duration, if applicable
• Description
• Services the add-on can be used with

For example:

Gel Polish Upgrade
Add a gel polish finish to your nail service.
Price: $15

Step 3: Link the Add-On to Services

Choose which services can include the add-on. For example, you may link Gel Polish Upgrade to:

• Classic Manicure
• Russian Manicure
• Gel Manicure

This ensures the add-on only appears when it is relevant to the client's selected service.

Step 4: Save the Add-On

Review the information and select Save. The add-on can now be offered alongside the services you've linked it to.

Creating a Package

Packages allow you to group multiple services together and offer them as a single booking option.

Step 1: Open Packages

From the dashboard, select Packages under Management.

Step 2: Create a Package

Select Add Package.

Enter the package details, including:

• Package name
• Description
• Price
• The services included in the package

For example:

Bridal Beauty Package

• Full Set of Lashes
• Brow Shaping
• Gel Manicure

Step 3: Add Services to the Package

Select the services you want to include. Make sure each service has already been created under Services before adding it to a package.

Review the selected services and their individual prices before setting the package price.

Step 4: Set the Package Price

Choose the price clients will pay for the complete package.

Individual services: $180
Package price: $150

This allows you to offer multiple services together at a special package price.

Step 5: Save the Package

Review the package details and select Save. Your package is now available to be offered as a single booking option.

Add-Ons vs. Packages

The two features serve different purposes.

Add-ons are optional extras added to an individual service.

Packages combine multiple services into one bundled offering.

For example, a client could book a Gel Manicure and add a Nail Art Add-On, while a Bridal Beauty Package could include a manicure, brows, and lashes together.

Helpful Tip

Keep your add-ons relevant to the services they are attached to, and use packages when you want to create a complete treatment or special bundle.
