Create an Add-on Fee Template
Add-on Fee Template settings control how the fee behaves when used. It's important to know that some of these settings will only have an impact in specific situations.
To create a new Add-on Fee Template, take the following steps:
-
- On the Fee Types page, click the button to Create a New Fee Type.
- Enter a Fee Name
- Enter an Amount and indicate if it is a Dollar or Percentage.
- Adjust the optional settings as desired (described below).
- Click the Save Fee Type button.
The newly created fee will be displayed in the list of Existing Fee Types. It can be edited by clicking on the edit icon to the right.
Fee Templates will still need to be connected to sessions or as an Account Add-on Fee in order to be used. To learn more about connecting these Session Templates, check out these help articles:

Anyone below the minimum or above the maximum will not be assigned the fee.
