Understanding the difference between accessories and packages can help you better organize your inventory and speed up contract creation.
Key Difference: What They Represent
A package is a collection of items that form a larger whole.
Example: A “10x40 Tent” isn't a single item—it's made of poles, ropes, and other components grouped together.
An accessory is a related item that accompanies or enhances a single item.
Example: A “Chiavari Chair” is a standalone item. Accessories might include:
“Chair Pad” (included or optional)
“Chair Sash” (upsell item, e.g., $5)
Pricing Differences
Packages can be priced:
As a flat fee (e.g., $200 per day for the whole tent package)
Or based on the sum of its parts (each included item contributes to total price)

Accessories can:

Be optional or required
Be auto-hidden from client view (but visible to your team)
🧩 Can You Combine Them?
Yes! You can add accessories to a package.
Example:
You create a Tent Package with these optional accessories:
“Tent Sidewalls” (optional, free)
“Tent Bistro Lighting” (optional, extra cost)
These accessories are defined ahead of time, so they're ready to add when you place the package on a project.
