The cruise is booked, the deposit is paid, and three weeks later you find a shore excursion your clients would love. You don't want to send them a whole new proposal — the trip is already decided. You just want to ask one question: do you want this?
An add-on offer is that question. It's a short, shareable page carrying nothing but the extras you're offering and an Approve button. No option grid, no comparison table, no re-pitching the trip they already bought.
Perfect for: shore excursions, park tickets and photo packages, specialty dining, spa credits, private transfers, travel-day upgrades, celebration packages, and anything a supplier releases after you've already booked.
There is no Proposals tab. The button lives inside a collapsed accordion at the bottom of Overview, which is the single most common reason people can't find this feature. Expand Proposals and it's there.
This is what the format is really for. An offer becomes far easier to say yes to when the client can see when the thing happens.
Say your clients are in Skagway on April 9 and there are three versions of the White Pass railroad excursion. Rather than listing three near-identical extras and hoping they read carefully:
Skagway excursion. They become a pick-one set. (See Add-on Choice Groups for how choice groups work.)Your client now sees a heading — Day 4 · Fri, Apr 9 · Skagway — with the three options nested underneath it as radio buttons. The choice is made in context, on the day it belongs to, instead of in an undifferentiated list of extras.
Only the days you anchor to are shown. The offer page doesn't redraw the whole itinerary — your clients have already seen it. It draws a heading for each day that has something anchored to it, and nothing else. Extras with no day set appear in a plain list underneath, exactly as before.
Show on an itinerary day matches on the calendar date against the trip's itinerary. If there's no day on that date — the itinerary hasn't been built yet, or you typed the wrong date — the add-on simply appears in the ordinary list instead.
Nothing is ever hidden because of a wrong date. The worst case is that your extra shows up in the flat list rather than inside a day, which is where it would have been anyway.
Anchor every member of a choice group to the same day. If you anchor only one of the three excursions, JourneyFuse moves the whole set into that day together rather than splitting it across two places on the page. That's deliberate — a pick-one set torn in half stops behaving like a pick-one set — but it's clearer for everyone if you just set the date on all of them.
This is the part that works differently from a normal proposal, and it's worth understanding before you send.
The trip is already booked, so an offer collects no deposit and takes no card. When your client approves, the extras they picked are added to the trip's invoice as new lines. If the trip has an open invoice, they're appended to it. If the last invoice is already paid or void, a fresh Add-ons invoice is created.
Either way it arrives as a draft that you send — nothing is charged automatically. You review it and send it when you're ready.
This is why the deposit fields disappear on an offer. On a normal proposal the add-on editor offers Deposit at booking, Collect the full price at booking, and a Balance due date. Those describe a moment that doesn't exist here: the booking already happened. On an add-on offer those fields are replaced by a note telling you the extras go onto the trip's invoice instead.
Once the offer is accepted, the extras your client picked are recorded on the offer itself and show a Client selected badge in the add-on list.
That matters most for a pick-one set where the alternatives cost the same, or for extras priced Included or Quote on request — those bill nothing, so the invoice alone wouldn't tell you which of the three excursions they actually wanted.
Can I send more than one offer for the same trip? Yes. Each one is its own page with its own link. A shore-excursion offer in January and a specialty-dining offer in March are two separate offers.
Can I use "Quote on request" pricing? Yes. The client sees a Quote on request badge, nothing is added to the total, and their interest is still recorded when they approve — useful for gauging demand before you go to the supplier.
What if they say no? They can decline the whole offer. The trip is untouched — declining an offer never affects the booking.
Can I require a choice? Yes — tick Traveler must pick one on the choice group. Be careful with this on an offer, though: it means they can't approve without picking something. If "none of these" is a legitimate answer, either leave it unticked or add an explicit "No thanks" option to the set priced at $0.
Do the extras show up on the client's portal? They're billed through the trip's invoice, so they appear there like any other line.
