Offer Items: Other
The Other type is the most flexible among all the offer item types. It has different options that can simplify the addition of these items to an offer.
The Other offer item type is versatile and adaptable for various needs. It's ideal for situations like adding to an offer items like enrolment fee, which is charged once per offer, or a materials fee, which can be either a fixed amount or calculated based on the length of a course. This item type provides the necessary flexibility and options to accommodate these specific requirements.
