Rent anything out from the WooCommerce store you already have. Mark a product as rentable, set a daily or hourly rate, and customers pick their dates (or dates and times) in a guided popup calendar on the product page. The plugin checks the dates against your stock, prices the hire, and books it the moment the order is placed.<\/p>\n\n
Everything in this plugin works with no time limit and no licence key. It is used for equipment and tool hire, camera and AV rental, bike hire, party and event rental, boat and kayak rental, costume hire, camping gear and medical equipment. You keep your theme, payment gateways, shipping, tax and customer accounts, and rentals sit in the same orders as anything else you sell.<\/p>\n\n
The booking calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Real inventory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Running the rentals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Sales Igniter also sells separate add-on plugins for rental businesses that need more, sold and installed on their own; the Upgrade page under Rentals compares them. Everything described above is in this free plugin.<\/p>\n\n Support for Lite is on the WordPress.org forum.<\/p>\n\n The plugin is fully translatable, the calendar's own texts and the reminder emails included, and lays the admin and the booking calendar out right to left for right-to-left languages. Translations come from translate.wordpress.org<\/a>. Translation files made for the standalone Sales Igniter Bookings & Tours plugin (text domain sibooking) keep working.<\/p>\n\n The pick-up and return reminder emails can link your store address to Google Maps. The default email wording does this with the {map_link} merge tag, which the plugin fills with a Google Maps search address (https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/) built from the store address under WooCommerce > Settings > General: street, city, state, postcode and country.<\/p>\n\n Rentals > Upgrade (also the last tab of Rentals > Settings) has an optional form for joining the Sales Igniter mailing list, which sends how-to guides for this plugin and offers on the paid editions.<\/p>\n\n Yes. WooCommerce sells products outright; this plugin adds a rental option to any product. Switch on Enable Booking on the product, set a daily or hourly rate, and the product page shows a rental date picker instead of a plain Add to cart button. The rental goes through the normal WooCommerce cart, checkout, payment and order emails.<\/p><\/dd>\n Both, because a rental is a booking of a physical item for a date range. It is built for rental businesses first: quantity-based inventory, turnaround buffers, closed days and return reminders. Tours, classes and appointments by date or by date and time work too.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin is a WooCommerce extension, so it needs WooCommerce installed and active. That is deliberate: your payment gateways, taxes, shipping, coupons and customer accounts keep working, and rentals sit in the same orders as anything else you sell.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, up to the stock quantity. A product with stock 5 can be rented five times over the same dates, and the sixth customer sees it sold out for those days. Availability is worked out from the bookings table on every request, so two customers cannot both take the last unit.<\/p><\/dd>\n The product fields and the settings screens are built on the field framework that Secure Custom Fields provides, so the plugin does not ship a copy of its own. Install the free Secure Custom Fields plugin once and the rentals plugin picks it up.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. They work with the same products, settings and bookings, so nothing is migrated.<\/p><\/dd>\n The calendar is rendered through WooCommerce's own product page hooks and styled by the Calendar Styler, so it fits any theme that uses the standard WooCommerce product template, block themes included. The accent colour and corner radius follow your choices.<\/p><\/dd>\n No, and it cannot end on one either, but it can run through one. A weekend closure blocks Saturday pick-ups and returns while a Friday-to-Monday hire still works.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Set the product to Date and Time and enter an hourly price. Customers pick a start and end time from the slot grid, and hours inside an existing booking or its turnaround are greyed out.<\/p><\/dd>\n Bugs go to the WordPress.org support forum. Feature requests go to the feature requests and roadmap page<\/a>, where you can vote on what others have asked for.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
