## Description

MOLU Equipment Booking Lite turns the products you already have in WooCommerce into
rental products with a date picker, a request form and a complete back office for
handling the bookings. It was built for companies that rent out machines, lifts 
and other equipment, where each booking is confirmed manually and the customer receives
an offer.

**Free version – what you get**

 * Booking calendar and request form on the product page (shortcodes are available
   for use elsewhere). The “Add to cart” button is replaced by the booking form 
   on rental products.
 * Several machines on one request, through a booking cart on your website.
 * Booking overview in the admin area with the statuses Pending, Offer, Confirmed,
   Declined and Cancelled.
 * Add bookings by hand (phone and e-mail orders), with search among your WooCommerce
   customers.
 * Prices per day and per week, minimum rental days, a “billing week” (for example
   5 or 6 paid days per week), weekend rentals, VAT and an insurance line.
 * E-mails to you and to the customer when a request is received, confirmed, declined
   or when you send an offer. All texts can be edited under Settings.
 * Printable rental agreement for confirmed bookings (print or save as PDF).
 * A built-in user guide.
 * No limit on the number of rental products or bookings.

**What the Pro version adds**

The Pro version (sold separately at [shop.molu.no](https://shop.molu.no)) is what
turns the booking list into a full rental back office. It adds: hand-over and return
registration with photos, ID document photo and signature; invoices (print or PDF)
and WooCommerce order creation; promo codes and discounts on single bookings; booking
staff users with a restricted role; the booking calendar overview in the admin area;
reports; customer agreements and discounts (company and private customer registers);
a customer portal (“My bookings”); the mobile web app for hand-over and return; 
flagging of bad payers; and automatic updates and support. Pro installs and updates
through its own license and is a separate plugin; your bookings and settings carry
over.

**Requirements**

WooCommerce must be installed and active. The plugin has been built and is used 
in production on a Norwegian equipment rental website. The interface is in English.
Translations (for example Norwegian) are delivered through translate.wordpress.org.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
 2. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/molu-equipment-booking-lite` or install
    it from the Plugins screen, then activate it.
 3. Edit a WooCommerce product, open the “Rental” tab, tick “Rental product”, enter
    a daily price (optionally a weekly price and a minimum number of days) and save.
 4. The calendar and request form now appear on the product page. Fill in your company
    details, the notification e-mail address, VAT and insurance under Equipment Booking
    Settings.

A step-by-step user guide is available on the Settings page inside the plugin.

## FAQ

### Does it work without WooCommerce?

No. Equipment Booking is built on WooCommerce products and customers, and requires
WooCommerce.

### Can I run Lite and Pro at the same time?

No. They use the same data but are separate plugins, and only one of them can be
active. If both are active, one of them shows a notice and does not load. Deactivate
Lite before activating Pro; your bookings and settings are kept.

### Does the plugin contact any external service?

No. Equipment Booking Lite makes no requests to external servers and does not track
users. The only link to the outside is a normal hyperlink to the Pro version.

### Which languages are supported?

The plugin is written in English and is fully translatable. Translations, including
Norwegian (Bokmål), are contributed on translate.wordpress.org and installed automatically
by WordPress when available for your site language.
