Guests skip them, and you lose revenue you could have earned from the stay. Add-On Showcase moves those extras into the checkout page, right after Guest Details. Each add-on becomes a card with an image, a name, a short description, a price and an **Add** button. Once a guest adds an extra, the button changes to **Added**. Here is what your guests experience: - Nothing is pre-selected. A guest only pays for an extra after choosing to add it. - Your booking widget stays in charge of pricing and totals, so the total updates as soon as a card is added or removed. - If your site has more cards than you want to show at once, a **Show more** control reveals the rest. - If a guest already has an extra on their booking that you have since hidden, the card stays on the page marked **Already on this booking**, with a button to remove it. Nothing stays charged without a way to take it off. The section sits alongside [Travel Protection](https://homerunner.io/docs/toolkit-travel-protection/). Insurance and travel coverage always stay with Travel Protection, and you choose which section comes first. ### Which add-ons become cards Only add-ons your connected PMS can add and remove through HomeRunner are shown as cards. Today that means Guesty. Add-ons from other sources keep the regular list in the booking widget, so nothing disappears from a guest's view. Quantities follow the same rule. Guesty add-ons are offered as a single Add/Added choice, because a quantity above one cannot be billed through Guesty yet. ## How to turn it on This module is off by default. It needs HomeRunner 2.7 or newer and the standard on-site checkout. Leave it off if your site uses Gravity Forms checkout, a custom checkout template or Guesty Hosted Checkout. The module does nothing on those setups. ### 1. Enable the module In the **HomeRunner Toolkit Hub**, switch on **Add-On Showcase**. If your HomeRunner is too old, the settings page asks you to update first and the booking widget stays unchanged. ### 2. Set the section text and order Open the Add-On Showcase settings. Edit the **Section heading** and **Introduction** to suit your brand, then choose whether extras appear before or after Travel Protection. ### 3. Decide what happens on property pages Choose whether to hide these add-ons in the booking widget on property pages, and whether to show a one-line teaser that tells guests extras are waiting at checkout. ### 4. Polish your cards (optional) Under **Add-on overrides**, click **Add override** to give an add-on a photo, a friendlier name, your own description, a category and a position. Save when you are done. ## Settings | Setting | What it controls | | --- | --- | | **Section heading** | The title above the cards. Default: "Make your stay easier". | | **Introduction** | The line under the heading. Default: "Optional extras, added to your total. Nothing is selected unless you add it." | | **Order after Guest Details** | Whether extras appear before Travel Protection (default) or after it. | | **Cards shown before "Show more"** | How many cards guests see before the **Show more** control appears. Default: 6. Enter 0 to show every card. The maximum is 50. | | **Hide these add-ons in the booking widget on property pages** | On by default. The add-ons are offered at checkout instead of in the widget. Applies only to properties that use the on-site HomeRunner checkout. | | **Show a one-line teaser under the widget total** | Off by default. Names the extras available at checkout, with no prices and no controls. The teaser lists up to three names, followed by a count of the rest. | | **Teaser text** | The wording of the teaser. Default: "Extras available at checkout: {names}". The **{names}** placeholder is replaced with the add-on names. | | **Categories, in display order** | A comma-separated list of category headings, such as "Arrival & departure, Food & drink, Equipment". Add-ons without a category are listed last, without a heading. You can have up to 12 categories. | | **PMS name or Central add-on ID** | Which add-on an override applies to. | | **Match by** | **Exact name** (recommended) or **Central add-on ID**. Name matching ignores capital letters. The same add-on often repeats with a different ID on every listing, so a name match covers all of them. | | **Display name** | A friendlier name shown to guests instead of the PMS name. | | **Short description** | Replaces the description that comes from your PMS. | | **Choose image / Remove image** | The photo shown on the card. Pick one from your media library. | | **Category** | Which category heading the card is grouped under. | | **Position** | A number that orders cards within their category. Lower numbers come first. | | **Hide on this site** | Keeps the add-on off your site without changing anything in your PMS. A guest who already has it on their booking can still remove it. | You can create up to 60 overrides. If two overrides match the same add-on, only the first one applies, and the settings page warns you which matches are duplicated. ## Tips - Start typing in an override's match field to pick from add-on names seen in recent quotes on your site. This avoids typos in exact-name matching. - To hide an extra on properties that do not qualify for it, such as a pet fee on homes that do not allow pets, use [Conditional Add-Ons](https://homerunner.io/docs/toolkit-conditional-add-ons/). - With [Two-Step Checkout](https://homerunner.io/docs/toolkit-checkout-guest-step/), the cards appear in the second step, once the guest has completed Guest Details. [Checkout-Only Add-Ons](https://homerunner.io/docs/toolkit-checkout-only-add-ons/) can stay on as well; it keeps add-ons off the property page widget, and Add-On Showcase takes over at checkout. - Cards missing? Check that your PMS is Guesty, that the add-on is not insurance, and that your site uses the standard on-site checkout. - The HomeRunner Toolkit is included with HomeRunner at no extra cost. See the [HomeRunner Toolkit overview](https://homerunner.io/docs/toolkit-overview/) for every module.
