  2. The difference between Products vs Combo Products

  3. How do Products work on bookings and packages?


What are ‘Products’? 

Products are anything that can be sold to your customer on its own. 
Idea

Examples of products are: tea, coffee, cookies/biscuits, a standard continental breakfast, shrimp cocktail (more on that below), transportation, accommodation, meeting room rental, wine tasting, security, etc. available at your property.


As an admin you would set these up so:

  • Your team can add Products onto their Bookings

  • For you (as an Admin) to create Combo Products

  • For you (as an Admin) to create Packages


Note: If a Product is added on a Package, on a Booking or on a Combo Product, it can no longer be deleted, only deactivated and will no longer be able to edit the Product ‘Type’.


What is the difference between Products & Combo Products?

When learning the difference between products and combo products, it's essential to understand their characteristics.
