This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

You can use Packages in Goodshuffle Pro to bundle essential items and offer optional add-ons to create flexible, client-friendly options.

Step 1: Create Your Package

Start by creating a new Package in your Inventory. Add items you always want included under the Contents section.

🧩 Contents are automatically added to a project when the Package is selected.

Step 2: Add Optional Accessories

Next, add any upgrades, add-ons, or optional items to the Accessories section.

🎁 Accessories are optional and priced separately. They are not added unless you manually select them when adding the Package to a project.


Example: Casino Table Package

Package Part

Category

Description

Casino Table

Contents

Required: table, chips, and cards

Extra Chips

Optional upsell

Custom Branding

Optional with unique pricing

When you add the Casino Table Package to a project:

  • The chips, table, and cards are added automatically.

  • You can choose to add custom branding or extra chips manually.

When You Add the Package to a Project

  • Contents auto-populate into the project.

  • You’ll see a list of Accessories next to the Package name.

  • Simply click to add any optional items your client wants.

These accessories will be priced separately, allowing you to easily add upsell items.

What Do These Accessory Settings Mean?

When adding Accessories to your items or Packages, you’ll see a few setting options that control how they behave. Here’s what each one means:

What Does “Required” Mean?

If you mark an accessory as “Required,” it will be automatically included every time the main item or Package is added to a project. The user cannot deselect or remove it.

Use this for accessories that are absolutely essential to the function of the item—for example, legs for a table or a power supply for a lighting rig. It ensures consistency and eliminates accidental omissions.

🔧 You’ll still see the accessory listed separately in the project, but it cannot be unchecked.

What Is a “Nested” Accessory?

A nested accessory is an accessory of an accessory.

For example, let’s say you have a Projector Package that includes a Screen as an accessory—and that Screen includes Poles and Base Plates as accessories of its own. In this case, Poles and Base Plates are nested accessories.

Nested accessories allow you to keep complex setups organized while maintaining flexibility and visibility at all levels of the Package or item structure.

What Does “Auto-Hide” Mean?

If you mark an accessory as “Auto-Hide,” it will not appear on client-facing documents (like quotes and contracts) unless it has a price or quantity.

This is especially helpful for internal-use-only items such as cables, installation tools, or reusable accessories. It keeps your client-facing documents clean and focused on visible, billable items.

⚠️ Auto-hidden items still appear in your team’s Fulfillment and Pull Sheets, so nothing is missed during prep!


Keep in mind that Packages can be used in several ways, such as grouping parts together to make a whole item, such as poles and fabric for a tent; creating themes or pre-designed seating areas; and grouping together common setup or event tools, such as the charging cables and power strip for a Charging Kit.

Accessories are used to add additional items to an item or package, such as cushions for chairs or chalk for a chalkboard.

Pro Tip: Packages can be added to items or other Packages as Accessories, too — check out the Charging Kit in the examples above and below!
