Hey orgs that use the Add-on Plug in,
I have a question on how you use this plug-in. We are currently using flex packages for experiences at our museum. For example, you must purchase general admission, then we have additional offerings of a tour or another experience. Right now we are using flex packages, where it requires the admission, but the other items are option. If you go with the package that does all three options, there is a discount. We are looking at using the plug-in to get away from flex packages.
Does your org use the add-on in this way? Where you have a required admission and then other offerings? Does it make the purchase process easier for your guests?
Please share your website with me and let me know how you like the plug-in.
Thanks everyone!

Are you talking about the v16 add-on events function? Or a plug-in? I'm not familiar with the plug-in, but I was all set to use the add-on events function for an event we had earlier this year when I thought we were going to be live on v16. We have an annual event that has a main ticket and then optional activities. Technically you are supposed to be registered for the main even to attend the others, so we have done it as a flex package but those are confusing in a museum setting (or at least to our audience). I was going to use the add-on function to suggest the optional events once the main event was added. I also plan to use it for guided tours -- because our museum admission is free, people often skip booking a museum ticket when they book a paid guided tour ticket. Packages were too much for this situation, so I've been using a message-only pricing rule to remind people to get a museum ticket and link to the production season, but the add-on event will be much more direct because you can base it on the day the tour ticket is for.
Anne, we are not on v16 so this is the plug-in. Ya we are looking at the plug-in because the flex packages are just too much (we build 90+ a month) and they are confusing to our audience too. I have created fake events for each day for the calendar, which then leads to that days specific flex package. But since admission is required and the tour and Brilliant are just additional options, I am trying to move away from flex packages, especially since we are working on building a new website. But I was not sure if anyone used it who also has timed entry for all the offerings.
