What's New with Rentals?

We’ve built Rentals from the ground up to handle the unique complexities of rental-based scheduling. Here’s what’s new:

1. Multi-Day Booking Support 

Book assets across multiple hours, days, weeks, or months, with flexible duration and booking controls.

2. Listings and Categories (Help Guide)

Create listings for your rentals with detailed information, organized categories, and status management.

3. Inventory & Variants (Help Guide)

Enable quantity tracking for multiple units and define variants for different versions of the same listing.

4. Advanced Pricing & Discounts  (Help Guide) 

Use pricing rules for seasons, days of the week, hour of day, durations, or quantities. Automatically apply discounts for long-term or bulk bookings.

5. Calendar View (Help Guide)

View all bookings visually using a modern, filterable calendar that supports day, week, and month views. Identify overlaps, blocked slots, and real-time availability.

6. External Calendar Sync

Connect and sync bookings with third party platforms using Calendar Sync to ensure your availability is consistent across platforms.

7. Centralized Global Settings (Help Guide)

Control business operating hours, booking defaults, payment preferences, and communication templates from one location.

8. Built-in Payments and Invoicing

Collect payments directly from the booking flow and generate invoices automatically for each confirmed booking. Setup security depositas per your business needs.

9. Customer Booking Page

Offer customers a streamlined booking experience with a dedicated public-facing booking page that displays your listings, categories, pricing and availability in real-time.
