Amy, the founder of Tiny Traveler in Australia, started her business as a way to earn extra income. It quickly grew into something more meaningful, helping families travel lighter by renting premium baby products so they don’t have to bring everything with them.
Today, Tiny Traveler serves traveling families and people expecting young visitors across two locations, Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast, offering items like travel cots, prams, and highchairs. But before finding the right tools, Amy struggled with a system that simply wasn’t working. Managing rentals through WordPress with RNB made it difficult to keep things running smoothly, especially when it came to handling bookings and payments.
After looking for a better way to take upfront orders online and present a more professional experience, she chose Booqable as her rental software, integrating it into her WordPress site using Booqable’s plugin. Here’s how these helped her launch and grow a successful baby equipment rental business.
Easy online bookings and payments with Booqable’s WordPress plugin
Before switching, Amy needed a website that actually worked for her business. The previous setup made it hard to manage bookings and didn’t reflect the quality of her service. With Booqable’s WordPress plugin, she was able to quickly connect powerful booking functionality to her existing site.
The plugin is easy to use and comes with step-by-step video tutorials that guide you through the setup. Once installed, the Booqable cart seamlessly takes over the booking flow on your website, while still allowing you full flexibility in design. You can place product cards or “Add to cart” buttons anywhere on your site, making it simple to create a layout that fits your brand.
She could adjust fonts and colors to match her brand and connect her own domain without needing technical skills. Here’s how it works: customers can browse available baby equipment, select rental dates, and pay upfront, all in one place. Availability updates automatically, so there’s no confusion about what’s in stock.
Amy mentioned that “it looks very professional on my website and has been a dream to use,” which reflects how much easier things became after switching.
With this setup, she can:
-
Accept online bookings with real-time availability
-
Take upfront payments directly through the website
-
Present a polished and easy-to-use rental experience
This directly solved her earlier frustrations with an unreliable system. And it gave her customers a much clearer and easier way to book, which they now regularly compliment.
Managing daily tasks with the Booqable mobile app
Running a rental business often means being away from a desk, and that was another challenge Amy faced. She needed a way to stay on top of bookings without being tied to a computer. The Booqable mobile app gave her exactly that. From her phone, she can check bookings, send emails, edit orders, and take payments throughout the day.
She uses it daily to keep everything moving, even while handling deliveries or coordinating between her Melbourne and Sunshine Coast teams. Amy shared that having the app “helps me keep the busy going when I’m not at a computer,” which shows how important it is for her day-to-day work.
With the mobile app, she can:
-
Check and manage bookings in real time
-
Send emails and update orders from anywhere
-
Take payments without needing a desktop setup
This means tasks don’t pile up while she’s on the move. And it allows her to stay responsive to customers, no matter where she is.
Growing a rental business with the right tools
Amy’s experience shows how the right setup can make a real difference in running a rental business. By switching to Booqable, she moved from a system that wasn’t working to one that supports both her online bookings and daily operations. Her customers now enjoy an easy booking experience, and she has the flexibility to manage everything on the go.
As Amy puts it, “Booqable has been a game changer.” With plans to expand into more states across Australia, Tiny Traveler is well positioned to keep growing with a system that supports both her business and her customers.
