ibookfishing supports two mechanisms of asking users about additional products or services they want add to their reservation.

The first is additional products (see more here) and the second is through additional fields of the reservation form (see more here). The differences are:
  • pricing: in case of additional products you can specify the price in product properties. This will be visible to the users as well. Additional reservation fields have no associated price, although you can use a custom pricing script or pricing manager to calculate the total price based on choices in the reservation form
  • placement: additional products are listed on a second (separate) page of the reservation process. Additional reservation fields is listed on the initial reservation form (page)
  • recurring services / products: allowing users to select or unselect the product for every individual day of rental is only possible when using additional products
  • invoice: additional products are listed on the invoice
  • additional products can have a number of images associated with them.
