FAQ
Q: Who gets the money for the add-on?
A: The owner of the Trip will receive the payment for the add-on, so they are responsible for paying suppliers (like insurance providers, etc)
Q: Can the Traveler change their selection?
A: No. They cannot, but the Planner can by clicking to EDIT the person in the TripCRM or from specialized reports under Manage Payments (coming soon)
Q: Can the Planner change the selected option?
A: Yes! If the Planner changes the option, the price on the invoice will automatically update and the payment that was made will be applied to the remaining balance. If a refund is owed, that will show on the invoice.
Q: Can I have more than one mandatory add-on selection?
A: Only one set of options can be provided per trip, but there is no limit to the number of options. The traveler must select only one of the options
Q: Can I make this add-on optional?
A: Yes! Simply add an option like "No thanks" with the price of $0 to allow your Travelers to skip this add-on.
Q: Can I offer different add-ons for different trips?
A: Yes! If you want them to be the same, be sure to setup the options on your trip template or copy from another trip with the right options.
Q: Do I have to specify a consent prompt?
A: Yes. You're requiring them to select something extra, be sure the terms of that extra are clear, especially if provided by a third party! We recommend linking out to their terms (these will open in a new window)
Understanding Options
When this feature is enabled for the Trip, at least one option must be configured.
Each option can be defined as:
- Option order - move the option up in the table to change the order as it will appear on the Checkout Flow. The top option will be selected by default.
- Option label - keep it short!
- Option description - HTML content can include links and formatting
- Option price - this can be zero! to give them the option to opt-out
- This will always be in the trip currency
- Option consent prompt - each option can have different consent, or can be the same.
- Status:
- Published - require Travelers to select from published options
- Hidden from Public - to keep Travelers from selecting
- Disabled - to keep Travelers and Planners from selecting
