Create a new extra

Here is a video explaining how to create and manage your extras:

To access your extras and therefore being able to add more, go to > Booking Engine in the sidebar of your Amenitiz administrator area. A submenu will appear below, click on > Extra charges:

Here, you have an overview of all the extras you have created so far.

If you have not yet created any extras, click on > Start to create your first extra. If you already have extras, click on > Create a new extra:

You will now land on the extra form that you have to fill in.

1. Name and description: enter the name and general description of the extra (these 2 fields are compulsory):
   
   
2. Category: If you have created categories, here you have the possibility to link your extra to a specific category.
   
   
3. Price calculation: you can indicate how the extra will be structured.
   You can calculate your extra in a fixed amount, or in %. You can set as extra in % in case you have a city tax in % for example.
   You can then calculate the price per article, or per guest. If you choose the price per guest, it will automatically be multiplied by the number of adults and children doing the reservation. You can choose this price calculation for breakfasts, or linen fees, for example.
   
   
4. Settings:
   Here you will be able to:
   Apply automatically: by selecting "Yes", the extra will be mandatory for your clients, for the accommodation and pricing linked to this extra. It can be for example mandatory cleaning fees.
   Manual quantity: your customers will be able to select the desired quantity themselves or not. If you select "no", then the client will choose or not the extra, if you select "yes" then the clients will have the possibility to choose the desired quantity themselves. In this case, you can also put a maximum amount, per extra, per stay. Here is the difference between the two possibilities:
   Visible extra: by selecting "No", the extra will not be visible on your booking engine. You can still use it in your administrator area, to add charges of the stay on the reservations.
   Is it a tax: Indicate here if this extra is a tax or not, it can mainly be for city taxes calculated per adult + child , or calculated in %.
   
   
5. Availability:
   Here you will be able to:
   Limit the access to this extra according to one or several accommodations, for a cleaning fee applied to only one cottage or flat for example.
   Limit the access to this extra according to one or several rate plans, for example for a rate plan with a meal included.
   Apply this extra once in the stay or every day of the stay, and limit the access according to a specific day of the week, if you do not propose breakfasts on Mondays for example.
   
   
6. Prior notice:
   
   If you want this extra to be booked in advance in order for it to be available, for example if you need 1 day to prepare the dinner extra.
   
   
7. Restrict by date of stay:
   Restrict this extra to a specific date/period of the year, for example if you propose an access to your pool, but only in summer.
   
   
8. VAT rate:
   You can indicate the specific vat rate you want to apply for this extra, for your VAT report.
