How Do I Set Up Options and Sub-Options for the Scheduler?

How to Add Options and Add-Ons to Scheduler Services in PhotoBiz

The PhotoBiz Scheduler makes it easy for clients to book appointments directly through your website. With the Options feature, you can offer add-ons and customization choices during the booking process—like choosing a location, selecting a backdrop, adding themed decorations, or upgrading with extras like additional edits or rush delivery.

This guide walks you through how to create and manage options and sub-options (add-ons) within any Scheduler service.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click SCHEDULER from the left-hand menu

This brings you to your main Scheduler dashboard where you can view and manage your services.

STEP TWO

Click SERVICES at the top of the Scheduler control panel

This section lists all your available booking services.

STEP THREE

Click NEW to create a new service or select an existing service to edit

If you're setting up a new service, complete the basic service details (name, duration, price, etc.) and click CREATE. If you're adding options to a service that’s already live, just click into it to begin editing.

STEP FOUR

Click the OPTIONS tab, then click NEW OPTION to create your first add-on

This is where you’ll begin adding customization choices your clients can select during booking.

STEP FIVE

Name your Option Category

A default category called “Untitled” will appear. Click the pencil icon to rename it—for example, "Backdrop Choices", "Add-On Items", or "Session Location".

While editing the category, you can also:

  • Choose to display pricing next to sub-options

  • Set the option as required so clients must make a selection before continuing

  • Hide the price if you'd prefer the service total to update quietly when a sub-option is selected

Click SAVE CHANGES once you’re done.

STEP SIX

Add Sub-Options to your Option Category

Now it's time to enter the actual choices your clients will see in a dropdown list.

Click NEW SUB-OPTION and fill out the details:

  • Sub-Option Name – The name of the choice (e.g., “Studio A”, “White Backdrop”, etc.)

  • Additional Price – Optional. You can charge a flat fee (e.g., $25) or a percentage (e.g., 10%) based on the service price

  • Optional Text Field – Enable this if you want clients to enter details like names, custom notes, or preferences

  • Required – Choose whether the text field is required or optional

  • Label – What the input field will be called (e.g., “Name for personalization”)

  • Description – Add a short instruction or prompt to guide your client (e.g., “Enter any special instructions”)

Click SAVE CHANGES when you're done.

Repeat this step to add more sub-options as needed.

What Your Clients Will See

Once your options are saved, your clients will see them before selecting a time slot during the booking process. If pricing is included, the cost of selected add-ons will automatically be calculated in the service total.

Options appear as dropdown menus on the booking form, making it simple for clients to choose what works best for them—while giving you more ways to customize and monetize your sessions.
