An Add-On Service is an optional enhancement that can be offered alongside a custom herbal formula to improve convenience, usability, or therapeutic outcomes for the patient.
Common examples include:
Herbal decoction service
The formula is pre-boiled and delivered in ready-to-drink pouches
Herb Grinding
Raw herbs are processed by grinding them into a fine powder
Add-on services allow practitioners to offer value-added options without altering the core formula itself.
Add-On Service Categories help organize services and present them in logical groups within the Formula Builder.
To create or manage categories, navigate to:
Admin > Lists > Categories > Add-On Service Categories
Categories are optional but recommended for improved clarity and user experience.
Add-on services may be:
Free
Charged as a fixed (flat) fee
Charged as a percentage of the formula ingredient cost
Charged using both methods
This flexibility allows pricing to align with operational costs and business preferences.
