Use add-ons
Add-ons allow you to expand on selections by offering additional options like time slots or tickets. They can also be used for merch since you can assign a price, set the quantity available, and add forms specific to add-ons.

Create an add-on
When you create an add-on, keep in mind that if you have a capacity set on any selection type on that signup, your registrants will only have 15 minutes to select all add-ons and answer all attendee questions for all attendees.
In Registrations, select Signups in the top navigation.
Choose your signup.
Select the Configuration page.
Select the Add-on options tab.
Select the New add-on button.
In the Name field, enter the add-on's name as you want it displayed to people when registering.
In the Price field, add the price per add-on. This price will be added to the registration total.
In the Total quantity field, you can add the number of this add-on that you have. This can be the maximum number of people that can fit into a space of the number of items you have available to purchase. As add-ons are included in registrations, people can see how many are left, and when the limit is reached, it will show as "sold out."
In the Options section, you can make the add-on Optional or Required. You can also hide it if you don't want the add-on to be visible to registrants on Church Center.
In the Available to section, select the dropdown to make the add-on available to certain selections, tailoring each attendee's registration process according to their selection type.
Check the Allow partial payments box to allow attendees to make partial payments for the add-on and require a minimum deposit if needed.
In the Allow attendees to purchase more than one section, you can allow attendees to purchase more than one add-on/variation. If you want them to be able to select different variations, each variation will need to be its own add-on.
Select Save to include this add-on in your event.
Tip
Update add-ons: Since add-ons can affect capacity, quantities, and payment, registrants can't edit or add additional add-ons. After registering, the registrant can ask an administrator or manager to change their selected add-on. An administrator or manager can change it in the attendee's registration details and email them to inform them of the change.
Variations
If your add-on has different options, like sizes or sessions, you can add those as variations. People will be able to select only one variation of the add-on.
In Registrations, select Signups in the top navigation.
Choose your signup.
Select the Configuration page.
Select the Add-on options tab.
Select the Add variation button.
Enter the variation name as you want it to show in Church Center.
Enter the price per variation. This allows each variation to be priced differently.
Enter the quantity for that variation.
Select the Save button once you've added all your variations.
You can delete variations by selecting the 🗑️ delete icon.
Warning
If an add-on is required and all variations have quantity limitations, people will not be able to register on Church Center once the add-on reaches capacity. To avoid this, remove quantity limitations from required add-ons so the quantity is Unlimited.
Edit and sort add-ons
After your add-ons are created, you can go back and edit them and even sort them into the order you want them listed in the signup.
From the Signups page, choose your signup.
Select the Configuration page.
Select the Add-on options tab.
Select an add-on to edit. The edit page will open, and you can make the necessary changes.
To sort your add-ons, select the three vertical line icon and drag the add-on to rearrange the order you want them to appear in Church Center.
