Appointment Booking Add-Ons: Sell Products Alongside Bookings with Baluu Custom Booking Software

When you run classes, workshops, or 1-to-1 sessions, your booking system should do more than just accept bookings. Many providers also need to sell products, kits, or service extras alongside their sessions. With Baluu, you can do both: sell standalone products through your online booking system or offer appointment booking add ons that integrate seamlessly into the booking page. Baluu also offers additional features that automate tasks, provide customisable options, and improve business efficiency.

This flexibility means you can upsell art kits, yoga mats, recipe books, or extra time in a session without disrupting the booking process. Clients can book and pay for services directly through the booking page, your website, or even a Facebook page, making the process seamless. Baluu integrates with multiple calendars, allowing for easy synchronisation and management of appointments. It’s one of those advanced features that truly enhances the customer experience and helps you reach more customers.

Baluu is free to get started, so you can explore its features straight away.

Products vs. Add-Ons: What’s the Difference?

Baluu gives you two powerful ways to increase sales:

Products & Kits (Standalone Sales):

You can create listings and sell products entirely separately from your sessions. For example, an art teacher might sell brush kits, or a fitness coach could sell recipe books or equipment. These products appear as their own listings within your online booking system. Learn more here.

Add-Ons for Appointment Bookings:

If you want extras to appear during scheduling, you can use the appointment scheduler to attach add ons. For example:

• Art studio: Book a pottery class + clay kit
• Fitness business: Book a personal training session + branded mat
• Beauty salons: Book a treatment + skincare product
• Coaching sessions: Book a call + follow up workbook or automated follow ups for more info

Payment for add-ons can be collected at the time of booking, with options for credit card required or other payment methods. You can set scheduling rules to control when and how add-ons are offered, and teams can manage add-ons for different staff members. The system automatically adjusts for time zones, ensuring accurate scheduling for clients in different regions.

By offering add-ons directly on the booking page, clients see relevant extras at checkout — helping you save time and reduce manual data entry.

How Add-Ons Work in Baluu

Setting up appointment scheduling add ons in Baluu is simple:

1. First, make sure you’ve added availability for your appointments.
2. Go to your booking page settings → Availability → Appointments → Add-ons.
3. Create a new add-on, give it a name, description, and price.
4. Enable it so customers can choose it when they schedule.
5. Save your changes.

Once live, your clients can select an appointment date and time and then add any available add-ons directly from the booking page. You can create as many add-ons as you like, allowing customers to personalise their booking while boosting the value of each appointment.

Here is the video guidance to walk you through the process.

Why It Matters for Your Business

Adding extras during the booking process comes with big benefits:

• Higher Revenue: Selling kits or service extras boosts order value without extra marketing.
• Better Customer Experience: One smooth checkout flow, with real time availability and automated confirmations. Automated reminders and email marketing campaigns can be triggered after clients book add-ons, helping to keep clients engaged and informed.
• Less Admin: No more chasing clients to pay separately. Everything is managed through the same appointment scheduling software.
• Flexibility Across Services: Whether you’re running recurring appointments, drop-in classes, or managing a fitness business, Baluu adapts.

Use Cases for Add-Ons

• Art & Craft Studios: Paint & sip session + brush or canvas kit
• Fitness Business: PT session + nutrition guide or supplements
• Beauty Salons: Facial appointment + product bundle
• Coaches/Tutors: Lesson booking + downloadable workbook
• Sports Venues: Court booking + equipment rental

For in-person bookings, POS hardware can be used to process payments for add-ons seamlessly.

By combining scheduling tools with product sales, you reduce hidden fees from external shops and streamline your tech stack.
