It's your central hub for managing your rental inventory. ### What you will see * **Product Image & Title**: A quick visual and name for each product. * **Status**: See if your rental configurations are Active (customers can rent/buy/try-on) or Inactive (temporarily hidden for rental/try-on options). * **Service Option**: Quickly check if a product offers Rent, Buy, Try-on, or a combination. * **Inventory Insights**: * Unavailable: Products that are damaged/lost. * In rental: Products are actively out with customers for a rental.

### Managing your list: * Filter: Easily filter your list by Service Option to quickly find products offering Rent, Buy, or Try-on. * Delete Product: Select one or multiple products and click Delete from the top bar. You'll get a confirmation pop-up to make sure.

* Create Product: Select the "Create rental product" button at the top of the page. ## Creating a New Rental Product Setting up a new product for rental, buy, or try-on is straightforward. Here's how to do it: 1. **Start in the Product List:** Click the "Create rental product" button at the top of your product list. 2. **Select a Shopify Product:** First, you'll **Browse product** to choose an existing item from your Shopify store that you want to configure for rental. Select the product and click **Add** to confirm.

3. **Choose Purchase Options:** Decide how customers can interact with this product: * **Rent**: (Selected by default) Allow customers to rent the item for a period. * **Buy**: Let customers purchase the item outright. * **Try-on**: Enable free bookings for an in-store try-on appointment.

4. **Set Rental Duration Type:** Our app offers 2 types: * Rent by date: Select this if your store provides full-day rental (daily, weekly, monthly) * Rent by time: Select this if your store provides hourly rental (1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours)

5. **Set Rental Configuration:** This defines how long customers can rent the product. * **Fixed Duration**: * ***Connect Variant Option***: If your product already has a variant (like "Duration" or "Days") that defines rental periods, you can link it here. * ```

``` ``` * _**Add Fixed Ranges**_: Create your custom rental periods (e.g., "3 days," "a week"). You'll name each range and specify its exact duration (e.g., 3 days, 7 days). *

``` * **Flexible Duration**: Allow customers to choose their own start and end dates. You'll set a minimum and maximum number of days they can rent for (e.g., min 2 days, max 30 days). * ```

``` 5. **Set Rental Availability settings:** Our app offers different availability rules to match your item requirements. * **Operating hours:** Help you define the date and time that your store is open. This lets customers come to your store and rent. * Working days: Select days in the week that customers can select the start date (rent by date) or rental date (rent by time) * ```

``` ```

``` * Working hours: Select time in a day that customers can select the start time and end time (rent by time) * ```

``` ```

``` * **Buffer time between rentals:** Allow merchants to add extra time before or after a rental to prepare or inspect items. * Pre-rental buffer: Prevent customers to rent date closely, which gives you time to prepare the item (For example, today is Monday, earliest start date a customer can pick is Wednesday). * Post-rental buffer: Give you time to clean or inspect the item after the previous rental completes (For example, item is returned and completed on Monday, item will be unavailable until Thursday). * ```

``` * **Blocked specific dates**: Prevent rentals from starting on specific days. Use the calendar picker to mark individual dates when rentals cannot begin.

6. **Manage Rental Inventory**: Tell FlexCon how to track your available rental items. You'll enter a single number for your available stock. * **Tracked by product**: The number you enter is the total available quantity for the entire product.

* **Tracked by variant**: The number you enter will be multiplied by the number of product variants to get the total available stock.

7. **Configure Rental Pricing:** * You can set different rental prices for each product variant (e.g., a larger size costs more to rent). * For **Fixed Durations**: Set the price for each specific rental range (e.g., $50 for "3 days", $120 for "a week").

* For **Flexible Durations**: Set a rental price per day (or per hour) for each product variant.

8. **Set Rental Deposit**: Protect your products by setting a refundable security deposit. * You'll enter a direct number. The app will automatically adjust if it's a percentage of the rental amount or a fixed amount (e.g., 10% or $50).

8. **Other Important Settings**: * **Status**: Use the dropdown at the top of the page to set the rental configuration to Active (visible to customers) or Inactive (hidden). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
