There are many ways you can set limits for Add-Ons. The drop-downs below provide more details about the possible limits.

### Limit Inventory for an Add-On

When you are setting up your Add-On, you can set a total inventory for that specific item.

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Navigate to the event, collection, or class where you have the Add-Ons attached. Then, next to the title, click **Pricing** --> **Add-Ons.**
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Either create a new Add-On by clicking **+Add-On** or edit an existing Add-On by clicking **Edit**.

Under the section titled **Variants**, you can set a total inventory for a specific item. If you have multiple variants, such as "Small Shirt" and "Medium Shirt", you can set different inventories for each.

### Limit who has access to buy an Add-On

There are two ways to limit who has access to purchase an Add-On.

**Set Access Type**: When setting up an Add-On, there is a section titled **Access**. From this setting, you can choose whether all patrons and admins have access, only admins have access, or only people who log in with a pass holder code (such as a membership or flex pass holder) can gain access.

**Set Passcode to unlock an Add-On**: When setting up an Add-On, click **Advanced Options** at the bottom of the page and locate **Special Passcode**. Check the box for **Enable special passcode,** and then type in the code you'd like patrons to use to unlock this Add-On.

Then, when they are making a purchase, they can type in that code to reveal the Add-On.

When using a Special Passcode, you will still want to ensure that the Access setting is set to **Everyone**. This will keep the item hidden but still accessible if patrons utilize the passcode.
