When a company uses optional product pricing, it sets a base product at a lower cost and additional, optional products at a higher price to make up for any losses. Optional products are not required for the base product to function, but they typically improve the customer experience.
The two key components of optional product pricing:
A base product is the main draw for the customer or the reason they are purchasing. It meets the needs of the customer and does not require the optional product to function.
A complimentary product(s): A product that a customer who purchased the base product is likely to purchase in order to improve their experience with the base product.
