Rent Item​

When you first start using WpRently, the first tab you see is the Rent Item.

Here you will find all the options to configure your rental system.

All Items​

By default, WpRently has some rent types built-in, which you can find in the All Items tab.

You can start editing any Rent Item for your Rental Business.

Or you can create one, and it will be listed in All Items.

Before adding a new Rent Item, you need to create a Rent type or you can use an existing Rent type.

Rent Type is adding a new category.

To add a new Rent Item Type, follow Rent Item > Rent Item Type

Then Type the Name of the Rent Type, Slug of the Rent Type, select the Parent Category or keep it as None, and add a description.

Once you are done, click the Add New Category button and your new Rent Item Type will appear on the right.

How do I Add a Rental Item?​

To create a new rental item, simply click the + Add New Rent button.

You will get a new modern editor of WpRently.

Switching between the Modern Editor and the Classic Editor​

But if you don’t want to use the modern editor, you can click the <> Classic editor button.

The modern editor consists of 4 different steps to create a rental item.

General tab​

This Basic Information section is the foundation for creating a new rental product in your plugin. It allows you to define the key identity of the item for both the front-end display and your internal management.

Here is an explanation of these fields for your documentation:

Basic Information Breakdown​

  • Title: This is the primary name of your rental item or service (e.g., "Cox Scooty Rental"). This will likely be the main heading shown on the product page and in your booking management dashboard.

  • Subtitle: Use this field to add a brief, descriptive tag or secondary information. It helps users quickly understand the scope or location of the service, such as the specific route or service area ("Scooty rental from Dolphin Circle to Marine Drive").

  • Description (WYSIWYG Editor): This is your main content area. Using the visual editor, you can provide comprehensive details about the rental, such as:

    • Features: What is included in the rental (e.g., helmet, fuel policy).
    • Experience: Descriptive text about the service, like the scenic nature of the route mentioned in your example.
    • Requirements: Any necessary prerequisites for the customer (e.g., valid driving license).

You can select the rent type from the category settings. If your rent item is not listed , click Add new rent type.

Now type your rent type name and click Add Rent Type.

This section allows users to showcase the unique selling points or specifications of their rental items using structured categories and icons.

Feature Category Title: Group your features by creating a category name (e.g., "Scooty Features," "Comfort Amenities," or "Safety Gear"). This provides a clean, logical heading for your customers.

Icon: You can associate a specific icon with each feature. This adds a visual element that makes your product page more engaging and helps customers scan for information quickly.

Features Name: Add the specific attribute here (e.g., "Helmet included," "GPS enabled," "Full Tank").

Add New Feature: Click this button to add another item to the current category.

Featured Image: This is the primary image that will represent your rental item across your website (e.g., in search results, category listings, and at the top of the product page). Click Set Featured Image to select or upload an image from your WordPress media library.

Gallery: Use this section to upload multiple additional images that showcase your item from different angles or highlight specific features. These images typically appear in a slider or grid on the product detail page, providing a more comprehensive view for the customer.

Add Feature Category: Use this button at the bottom to create a completely new set of features, allowing you to organize your specifications into different thematic groups.

Pricing & Rent Types Overview​

This section allows you to configure how your rental service calculates costs and manages availability. Choosing the correct Rent Type is essential for ensuring your booking system behaves in a way that matches your specific business operations.

Available Rent Types​

You can select the mode that best fits your inventory:

  • Single Day: Best for items rented within a single day. Customers can choose specific time slots like hourly, morning, evening, or full-day booking. This is ideal for items like bikes, boats, kayaks, and other short-use rentals.
  • Multiple Day: Designed for rentals that span across several consecutive days.
  • Resort: Tailored for bookings based on date ranges, often used for nightly accommodations or extended stays.
  • Appointment: Configured for time-based scheduling, such as services that require booking specific time blocks rather than physical items.
  • Multiple day for multiple items: A versatile option for complex bookings where customers might need to rent several different items over a span of multiple days.

Single Day​

The Single Day configuration allows you to manage your inventory and pricing in a granular manner. By setting individual Prices and Stock/Day limits, you maintain full control over your operational capacity for short-term rentals.

Rental Option Name: Enter the specific name or model of the item (e.g., "Classic Scooty 150 CC").

Short Description: Provide a summary of the item or its features (e.g., "Comfortable for two people").

Price: Set the base rental cost for this specific item.

Stock/Day: Define the total quantity of this item available for rent per day.

Add New Type: Click this button to create additional rental options if you have more than one item or category variant to manage.

After updating, you can see the front end as a single-day booking. 

But when you toggle the Manage a single item inventory on an hourly basis, two new fields appear: one is the Duration, and the other one is Duration Type. 

Manage a single-item inventory on an hourly basis: Enabling this toggle allows you to manage a shared inventory for rental items.

Rent Item Stock Quantity: This field allows you to define the total stock quantity available for rent.

Enable duration-based rental items: Turning this on allows you to set a specific time duration for rentals.

Duration: Enter the numerical value for the rental period (e.g., "1", "2", "24").

Duration Type: Use this dropdown menu to select the unit of time for the duration, choosing between Hours, Days, Weeks, or Months.

Add different Price and duration types.

You must enable the time picker and add your desired time to use different duration types.

Now update and check your frontend for booking.

Here you have selected a date and a time according to the time picker and the whole inventory stock for 1 hour.

For this reason, there is no inventory available for that day and time, and showed sold out.

If you enable duration-based rental items.

You have added a particular duration for Classic Scooty 150 CC, which is from 9 am to 12 pm.

From the front end, you can see the booking for this scooty is only set for this specific duration.

If you enable the Item Variation, you can add any type of variation to your total inventory of that item.

For example, here we have added 4 different color variation with different price which is adjusted with the total stock quantity. And if you select default check box, it will be selected by default on the front end.

From the front-end booking, you can find the price for that specific duration as the base price for 4 different color and their variation price in total.

You can add an extra fee for your rental item. Simply toggle Fee Configuration settings.

You can add the label, description, calculation type like fixed or percentage, amount and priority like optional or required and refund or non-refund.

As you can see there is a fee management field appear with the option to toggle for this fee.

Multiple Day​

Multiple Day mode is designed for flexible, long-term rentals (such as cars, equipment, or sports gear) where pricing needs to adjust based on the length of the booking.

1. Duration Rates​

This section allows you to set dynamic pricing based on the rental length:

  • Monthly/Weekly/Daily Price: Set base rates for each time unit.
  • Thresholds: Define specific rules for when a rental duration transitions from one rate to the next (e.g., how many days constitute a "month" or "week").

For example Monthly price is $4000 but you can set the threshold to count your month as 28 days instead of 30 or 31 days. So if your days exceeds 28 days it will charge $4000.

Also, for Weekly price is $1000 per week but you can set the threshold to count your week as 5 days instead of 7 days. So if your days exceeds 5 days it will charge $1000.

2. Time Configuration​

When Enable Time Picker is toggled on, you can offer highly granular rental options:

  • Half-Day Price & Threshold: Define a specific price for shorter rental periods and set the hour range (e.g., 7 to 12 hours) that triggers this rate.
  • Hourly Price & DayThreshold: Set an hourly rate and a threshold limit; if rental hours exceed this limit, the system can automatically treat it as a full-day booking.

Here the duration is 3 weeks 4 days, so the price for 3 weeks is $3000 and for 4 days is $400.

Here, the duration is 3 weeks 5 days, but it counts as 1 month (4 weeks) because the threshold for 1 week is 5 days. So 4 weeks is counted as 1 month, and the price for 4 weeks is $4000.

The threshold for 1 month is 28 days, and cost is $4000. So in this booking the duration is more than 28 days so it is charged for 1 month.

If you enable Day-wise pricing, you can set a specific day price of your choice for a whole day or half day.

Enable category-wise extra services: Use this primary toggle to activate or deactivate the functionality for the current item.

Additional Service Category Title: Group your extras into logical categories (e.g., "Service Type," "Refreshments," or "Safety Add-ons").

Icon: Assign an icon to each extra service for a clean, visual representation on the booking page.

Service Name: Define the specific extra service (e.g., "Drinking Water").

Quantity/Price Fields: Specify the quantity available (e.g., "2") and the associated cost for the service (e.g., "100").

Pricing Mode:

  • One Time: A flat fee applied once per booking.
  • Day Wise: A recurring fee applied for each day of the rental period.

As you can see, the extra service type is displayed for a one-time payment.

Inventory Settings Breakdown​

  • Stock Quantity: Set the total number of items available for rent in your inventory.
  • Inventory Management by Return Date: When enabled, the system automatically marks items as available for new bookings as soon as the scheduled return date passes, ensuring accurate, real-time availability.
  • Enable Multiple Item Choosing Option: Toggling this on allows customers to select more than one unit of the same item per booking. This is particularly useful for rentals like bikes, cars, or equipment where customers may need to book multiple units simultaneously.
  • Item Variation: Enable this feature to define different variations for your rental item (e.g., different sizes for a scooter, colors, or technical specifications). This works across multiple rental types, including Single Day and various multi-day categories.

Resort Rental​

Create a new rental item and add title, description, category, item features settings feature image and gallery images. And move to the next step.

Resort Configuration​

This mode is designed for hotels, resorts, and vacation stays where pricing is automatically calculated based on nights or full-day occupancy.

  • Resort Rent Type: Selecting this enables a specialized interface for defining different accommodation types.

  • Day-long Price Configuration: Toggle this on if you wish to set pricing for same-day check-in/check-out options.

  • Accommodation Management:

    • Room Type: Define the name of the room or suite (e.g., "Superior Rooms," "Family Suites").
    • Day-Night Price: Set the nightly rate for that specific room category.
    • Short Description: Add a brief summary (e.g., "Room for 2," "Room for 4").
    • Stock Quantity: Specify the total number of units available for that room type.

  • Add New Resort Type: Click this button to add additional room categories to your resort listing.

The frontend displays the resort booking interface.

You can select the check-in and check-out dates and select a room type.

Appointment​

The Appointment rent type transforms WpRently into a robust scheduling tool. By utilizing the General settings to define your service scope and highlighting specific Consultation Features, you provide a clear, professional booking experience for clients looking to schedule time-based services rather than rent physical equipment.

Basic Information: Define the service title (e.g., "Doctor Appointment") and subtitle (e.g., "Orthopedic specialist"). The Description editor allows you to detail the nature of the service, what to expect, or preparation instructions.

Category Settings: Quickly select "Appointment" as the rent type to trigger the appropriate booking logic for this item, differentiating it from rental items like bikes or resorts.

Item Features Settings: Tailor the service specifications using categorized features and icons. In this example, features like "Health Checkup," "Free Therapy," and "Medicine Advice" are grouped under the "Consultation Features" category.

Media & Status Sidebar: Manage the visual brand of your service through the Featured Image and Gallery, and control publication via the Status (Draft/Published) toggle.

Appointment Pricing & Scheduling Configuration​

  • Rental Option Details: Define the service name (e.g., "30 Minute"), provide a description, set the price, and define the stock capacity per day.

  • Maximum Allowed Quantity Per Session/Time Slot: Set the maximum number of bookings you can accommodate for any single time slot.

    • Available Slots: Define the specific available times (e.g., 10:00 AM, 10:30 AM) and add new slots as needed.
    • Particular date time slots: A toggle to enable or disable specific slots for particular dates if required.

From the front-end booking, you can book an appointment from the schedule and can add your consultation time based on the price.

Multiple Day Multiple Item​

The Multiple day for multiple items configuration offers maximum flexibility for complex, multi-product bookings. By setting automated Pricing Thresholds, you ensure customers always receive the best possible rate while your inventory is managed accurately across all selected items.

This mode is ideal for scenarios where customers need to rent multiple distinct products within a single booking, such as equipment bundles or group rentals.

Enable Price Types & Item Management​

  • Price Types: Activate hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly pricing models to match your business requirements.
  • Item Management: Add multiple line items (e.g., "Scooty," "Bike," "Car") and define their specific hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates, along with available quantity (QTY) for each.

Pricing Automation & Thresholds​

Automate your rental pricing with dynamic thresholds:

  • Hourly to Daily/Daily to Weekly/Weekly to Monthly: Define the exact number of hours, days, or weeks after which the system automatically upgrades the rate to the more cost-effective tier (e.g., automatically applying a weekly rate once a rental exceeds 5 days).
  • Auto-Pilot Logic: The system intelligently calculates the cheapest combination of rates for the customer, unless the rental duration exceeds the defined thresholds, at which point the higher rate caps the price for that period.

Time Slots & Inventory​

  • Time Slots Configuration: Enable the Time Picker to set specific available booking intervals (in 30-minute increments).
  • Inventory: Manage the total stock quantity for the entire bundle, enable Inventory Management by Return Date, and configure Item Variations if needed.

The frontend interface demonstrates the power of the Multiple Day for Multiple Items rent type. It provides a seamless, all-in-one booking experience where customers can select various vehicles, configure durations, and add optional services or insurance in real-time, significantly simplifying complex group or bundle rentals.

Off Day Settings​

The Off Days tab ensures you stay in control of your operational calendar.

1. Block Booking Logic​

When enabled, this powerful feature prevents bookings from being placed if they conflict with your configured off days. The plugin follows these strict rules:

  • Rule 1: Prevents selection of a pickup date on an off day.
  • Rule 2: Prevents selection of a return date on an off day.
  • Rule 3: Blocks any booking attempt that overlaps with an off day, even if the start or end dates fall on available days.
  • Rule 4: You can enable or disable this entire behavior to fit your business requirements.

2. Off Day Settings (Weekly)​

  • Day Selection: Easily click to toggle specific days of the week (e.g., Wednesday) as recurring off days.

  • Add Another Range: Use this to create multiple distinct blackout periods as needed throughout the calendar year.

Advanced Tab​

The Advanced location settings provide the ultimate control for multi-point rental businesses. By configuring specific Pick-up and Drop-off Locations and enabling Location Inventory & Price, you can automate complex logistics, ensuring your stock levels and pricing remain accurate regardless of where your customers start or end their journey.

Manage Locations: Use this interface to add, rename, or remove the locations available for your rental items (e.g., "Dolphin Circle," "Marine Drive Patuartek").

Pick-up Location: Toggle this on to allow customers to choose where they will collect their rented item. You can select one or multiple approved locations from your managed list.

Drop-off Location: Toggle this on to let customers select where they will return the item. This is particularly useful if your business supports one-way rentals.

    • Send Email on: Select the order statuses (Processing or Completed) that trigger an automatic email containing the PDF ticket as an attachment.
    • Email Customization: Define the Email Subject, Email Content (using the visual editor to add media), Email From Name, and Email From address.

  • Standalone / Custom Payment Booking Emails: These settings control notifications for bookings made outside of the standard WooCommerce checkout flow.

Review Settings​

The Review Settings panel allows you to manage customer feedback directly within your rental system.

Review Settings Explained​

  • Review System: This simple toggle allows you to enable or disable the review system for your rental items. When enabled, this feature encourages customer engagement and helps build trust by allowing users to share their experiences and rate your services.

Payments​

The Payments panel is the central hub for configuring how your business processes booking transactions. Here is how you can document this for your users:

This area allows you to choose your primary transaction workflow and configure specific payment gateways.

  • Booking Mode: This is the most critical setting, as it defines your entire payment flow. You must choose exactly one:

    • WooCommerce Checkout (Active): All bookings are processed through the standard WooCommerce cart, checkout, and order management systems.
    • Custom Payment (Standalone): Bookings are processed directly via methods like PayPal, Stripe, or Offline payment, bypassing WooCommerce entirely.

  • WooCommerce Payment Methods: When in WooCommerce mode, this section provides direct access to your enabled gateways.

    • You can see the status (Enabled/Disabled) of various methods like Direct bank transfer, Check payments, Cash on delivery, and PayPal Standard.
    • Use the Configure buttons to adjust settings for each gateway, or click Open in WooCommerce to manage your primary payment configuration within the main WooCommerce settings panel.

When operating in Custom Payment (Standalone) mode, you have complete control over your payment gateways without the overhead of WooCommerce. Use this setup to directly configure PayPal, Stripe, or Offline Payment options, and leverage the Require Account Login toggle to manage whether you allow guest checkouts on your platform.

Custom Payment Gateway Configuration​

  • Custom Payment Gateways: You can configure and enable specific payment methods to accept funds directly.

    • PayPal: Accepts payments via PayPal balance and cards.
    • Stripe: Processes credit and debit card payments.
    • Offline Payment: Facilitates payments via bank transfer, cash, or "pay on pickup" methods.
    • Each gateway includes a Configure button to set up its specific credentials and options.

  • Additional Checkout Settings:

    • Require Account Login: When toggled on, this forces customers to log in or register before they can complete a booking. If toggled off, guest checkout is permitted, and customers can track their bookings using their email and reference number.
    • Booking Confirmation Page: Allows you to select a dedicated page to display to customers immediately after they successfully complete a booking in standalone mode.

Coupons​

This panel controls your discount engine, allowing you to manage how customers interact with promotions.

  • Coupon Engine:

    • Enable Coupon Engine: Toggle this on to activate both manual coupon codes and automatic discount rules.
    • Manage Coupons: Click Open Coupons Manager to create specific codes and automatic rules based on targeting, spend conditions, and usage limits.

  • Front-end Display:

    • Coupon Field Label & Placeholder: Customize the text shown above the coupon input field and the placeholder text inside the input field on your booking forms/cart.
    • Show Coupon Field: Choose whether to display the manual entry field to customers. Note that automatic discounts will still apply even if this field is hidden.

  • Stacking Behavior:

    • Allow Stacking by Default: Toggle this to automatically check the "Allow combining with other coupons" option when creating new coupons, though individual coupon settings can still override this.

Super Slider settings​

The Super Slider Settings panel allows you to configure the visual presentation of image sliders for your rental items.

This area controls the functionality and appearance of your rental item galleries.

  • Slider Configuration:

    • Slider Type & Style: Choose your preferred slider type and design style (e.g., "Slider," "Style One") to match your website's layout.
    • Slider Indicator: Toggle the visibility of slider indicators and select their type (e.g., "Icon Indicator").
    • Slider Showcase: Toggle the visibility of the "Slider Showcase" feature and set its position (e.g., "At Right Position").

  • Popup & Height Settings:

    • Popup Indicators: Enable or disable image and icon indicators for slider popups.
    • Slider Height: Select the preferred height (e.g., "Average") for your sliders to ensure they fit seamlessly within your page design.

License Settings​

The License panel is where you manage product keys for premium add-ons to the core plugin.

Plugin Licensing: While the base Booking and Rental Manager plugin is free and does not require a license, any premium add-ons you purchase will require activation.

  • Activation Process: To activate an add-on, locate its entry in the list (e.g., "Booking and Rental Manager for WooCommerce Pro"), input your valid License Key into the provided field, and click the Active button to complete the activation.
  • Management: This screen provides a clear view of your licensed plugins, including their Order No, Expire on date, and current Status (Active/Deactive).
