Rental types
The Rental platform allows you to configure two types of rental: date-to-date rental, subscription-based rental, and hourly rental. Depending on your business, you can choose a single rental type or combine all three. • Date-to-date rental • Subscription-based rental • Hourly rental Depending on your business, you can choose a single rental type or combine all three. Go to the Settings - My Business menu Date-to-date rental consists of making your products available for rent over a period defined by your customers when they subscribe. It ends at the end of the selected rental period and is paid in a single payment at the time of subscription or when the product is handed over to the customer.
For a date-to-date rental, the rental journey will include a step for your customers to choose the start and end date of the rental. Select a product category Select the product to rent

Subscription-based rental (available for PRO and EXPERT plans). More on subscription-based rental Subscription-based rental consists of making your products available for rent for a limited or unlimited period. The first month of rental is paid at the time of subscription. The rental is then paid monthly by direct debit on the anniversary date, known as recurring payment. A recurring payment is a rental instalment collected at regular intervals, on the anniversary date, from the customer's bank card, throughout the duration of the subscription. Each subscription-based rental automatically generates an associated subscription. Each recurring payment will constitute an instalment of that subscription. To be able to offer this type of rental, check the "Subscription-based rental" option. For more information on: • subscriptions linked to rentals, click here. • recurring payments, click here.
Hourly rental Hourly rental allows your customers to book a product or service for a set duration, calculated in hours. When a customer subscribes to an hourly rental, they select a time slot based on the defined availability. You can specify a minimum rental duration in hours.
