Can I Add Extra Bookable Items to My Space Listing?

This article is for Hosts who want to offer add-ons, equipment hire, or automated surcharges alongside their Space hire.

Additional Items let you charge for physical items (such as projectors or tables) or apply automated fee structures (such as commercial surcharges, cleaning fees, or weekend rates) — helping you streamline revenue collection alongside your Space hire. You can create and manage them directly inside a Space listing or centrally via the Items & Charges menu in your dashboard.

What settings can I configure for an additional item?

• Name:
  The item title displayed to Customers on your Space page, checkout, email notifications, and dashboard.
• Internal nickname:
  A private label visible only to Hosts within the SpacetoCo dashboard.
• Description:
  Item details shown to Customers during checkout and on booking confirmations.
• Rate type:
  • Fixed Rate: A flat charge applied once per booking (e.g., $10/hr Space + $5 item fee = $5 item fee total at checkout).
  • Hourly Rate: A rate multiplied by the total booking hours (e.g., $10/hr Space + $5/hr item fee = $15/hr total).
• Rate amount:
  The monetary price charged to the Customer.
• Quantity (QTY):
  The maximum number of items available per booking (defaults to 1). For example, set QTY to 1 for a single commercial surcharge, or set QTY to 2 if you have two projectors available.
• Spaces available on:
  Additional Items are global, meaning one item configuration can be assigned across multiple Spaces without recreating it.
• Visibility per booking type:
  Hides the item from Customers creating Casual or Regular Bookings online. Hidden items remain selectable by Hosts when editing or manually creating bookings.
• Mandatory per booking type:
  Automatically applies the item or fee to all Casual or Regular Bookings. Hosts can manually remove mandatory items when editing a booking.
• Slot affected:
  When booking slots are enabled on a Space, enabling this setting multiplies the item cost by the number of slots booked.
• Charge times:
  Restricts when a charge applies based on specific months, days, or hours. When combined with mandatory settings, this enables automated time-based pricing rules (e.g., a mandatory $25/hr surcharge applied only on weekend evenings).

How do I create and manage additional items?

You can create and manage Additional Items in two places:

Option 1: Directly within space settings (great starting point for new hosts)

1. Go to Spaces Management in your dashboard and select the Space you wish to edit.
2. Click either Create new item/charge to create a new item/charge OR select an existing item/charge previously built. 

Option 2: Centrally via Global Management

1. Go to Items & Charges in your dashboard menu.
2. From here, you can manage, edit, or assign items globally across all your listed Spaces — ideal for keeping your configuration consistent at scale. To create a new item, click Create new item/charge, fill in the configuration fields, select all target Spaces under Spaces available on, and click Save.
