About the developer
Rentquiry is developed by RentalPlugin, the technology behind Rentalee.
Privacy
Enquiries contain name, email, optional phone/notes, requested item/quantity and dates. They are stored in your WordPress database and sent by email to the configured business address; an acknowledgement is emailed to the customer. Review your privacy policy and email configuration. No data is sent to RentalPlugin. Short-lived abuse counters use a keyed hash of the request IP and expire after one hour. WordPress personal data export and erasure tools handle stored enquiry data; they cannot erase email copies.
Photos selected from your own media library are served by your website. If you enter an external photo URL, visitors’ browsers request that image from that host.
Data is retained on deactivation/uninstall to avoid losing business enquiries. Use WordPress privacy tools to remove personal enquiry data when appropriate.

Installation
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Open RentalPlugin > Settings and enter your business name and notification email.
- Add items under Products. Choose photos from the WordPress media library.
- Put [rentalplugin] on a page and publish it.
- Send a test enquiry and verify WordPress email delivery.
Use only one RentalPlugin edition at a time. If migrating from the rentalplugin.com ZIP, deactivate that edition before activating this directory edition. Back up before replacing an edition. Version 2 retains the existing shared product table and does not delete earlier booking records. New enquiries use a separate table and never become reservations automatically. Old booking calendars/front desk require the previous or paid edition to view. Stock quantities and older rate tiers are preserved when editing catalogue items. New catalogue items have stock 1 until configured in a paid edition.
