# How to Add Mandatory Addons and Optional Extras?

## Add mandatory addons and optional extras to your adventures by following the steps below.

To add/edit a ‘Mandatory Add-on/Optional Extras' to your adventures, log in to your [Operator Dashboard](http://operators.tourradar.com/dashboard/login). It will automatically take you to the Tours Section. Select the tour you wish to edit and go to the 'Room & Traveler types' section.

Please follow the following steps:

 In the 'Room & Traveler types' section, look at the menu on the left-hand side and select 'Mandatory Addons' and/or 'Optional Extras'. From here, you should be able to create new and edit existing add-ons and extras

- Choose whether it is a 'Mandatory Add-on' or an 'Optional Extra'
- A 'Mandatory Add-on' is something that is required for an organized adventure, for example, a domestic flight that has to be purchased in order to complete a tour
- An 'Optional Extra' is something a traveler can choose if they want to select/purchase, for example, a swimming activity that isn't on the initial itinerary for the Organized Adventure
- Click on ‘Add Mandatory Addons’ and select one of the predefined items
- If there aren't any predefined items, you can create a new item. (This new item will be added to the ‘Rooms & Traveler Types’ tab of this tour)
- Name the ’Mandatory Add-on/Optional Extra’ and choose whether the payment is to be made ‘Locally’ - or ‘Upfront’

- A 'Local Payment' is for an add-on service such as a food fund or an optional extra. Local Payments are only accepted upon passenger arrival and paid directly to the Guide/Operator'. Upfront payments are charged by TourRadar and collected when the passenger books the organized adventure.
- Populate a price per person and click ‘Save add-ons’ on the right-hand side
- Note: You can also choose to make a note within the 'What's Included' section to highlight that these additional Add-on charges apply
