Turn your Shopify website into a rental storefront

Keep your existing Shopify website and add everything you need to accept rental bookings online. Customers can choose when they want to rent, check product availability, see rental prices, and complete their bookings.

Booqable provides the rental date picker, Add to cart elements with pricing and availability, shopping cart, and checkout. These work alongside your existing Shopify product pages, so you can keep your website’s design while adding rental booking functionality.

You manage rental products, inventory, pricing, and orders in Booqable. When customers make a booking, availability updates automatically on your Shopify website, helping you avoid double bookings.

Why connect Shopify with Booqable?

Accept rental bookings

Let customers book rental products directly from your Shopify website. Add a date picker so customers can select their rental period, and replace Shopify’s standard purchase buttons with Booqable’s Add to cart elements.

Each element combines the product’s rental price, availability, quantity selection, and Add to cart button. Prices and availability are calculated based on the rental dates customers select.

Customers can add multiple products to their shopping cart and complete their reservation through Booqable’s checkout, where they can enter their details and make a payment.

Show real-time availability

Keep the availability on your Shopify website up to date automatically. Booqable tracks your rental inventory and existing bookings to determine which products are available for the dates customers select.

When new bookings are made or existing reservations change, the availability displayed on your Shopify website updates automatically. This helps prevent double bookings without manually adjusting inventory in Shopify.

Manage rentals in Booqable

Use Booqable to manage your rental products, bookings, inventory, pricing, and payments, while Shopify handles your website’s design and product pages.

Set up rental rates by the hour, day, or week, and create pricing rules for longer rental periods or specific dates. Booqable calculates the rental price based on the customer’s selected dates and displays it on your Shopify product pages.

When customers complete a booking, their order appears in Booqable. From there, you can review booking details, make changes, track inventory availability, and manage payments and security deposits.

How it works

Add rental booking functionality to your existing Shopify website in three steps.

01 — Configure your rental products

Create your rental products in Booqable and configure their inventory, availability, and pricing.

You’ll also need corresponding product listings in Shopify, where you can manage product names, images, descriptions, and page layouts.

02 — Add Booqable’s booking elements to Shopify

Connect Booqable to your Shopify website and add the following booking functionality:

Rental date picker: Let customers choose their rental dates and times, so they can see prices and availability for their selected period.
Add to cart elements: Replace Shopify’s standard purchase options with Booqable’s elements, combining rental prices, availability, quantity selection, and Add to cart buttons.
Shopping cart: Let customers review their selected products, rental dates, quantities, and total price before checkout.
Checkout: Connect your website to Booqable’s checkout, where customers can enter their details, confirm their reservation, and make a payment.

Booqable provides the code needed to add these elements to your Shopify website. Follow the installation guide to place them on your pages and hide Shopify’s standard purchase options for rental products.

03 — Accept and manage bookings

Customers select their rental dates, add products to their cart, and complete their booking through Booqable’s checkout.

Every booking appears automatically in Booqable, where you can manage orders, track inventory availability, and handle payments. Availability on your Shopify website updates as bookings are created or changed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I accept rental bookings through Shopify?

Yes. By connecting Shopify with Booqable, you can let customers select rental dates, check availability, see rental prices, and book products through your existing Shopify website.

Booqable provides the rental booking functionality, including Add to cart elements, a shopping cart, and checkout.

Does Booqable automatically sync products with Shopify?

Not entirely. You’ll need to create corresponding products in both Shopify and Booqable.

Shopify manages your product listings, including images and descriptions, while Booqable manages rental inventory, pricing, and availability. Prices and availability displayed through Booqable’s Add to cart elements update automatically, without having to manually update them in Shopify.

Do customers complete their bookings in Shopify?

Customers browse products, select rental dates, and add products to their cart on your Shopify website. However, they complete their bookings through Booqable’s checkout rather than Shopify’s checkout.

You can customize Booqable’s cart and checkout to match your branding and use your own domain for checkout.

Do I need coding experience to connect Shopify with Booqable?

You don’t need to write your own code, but you’ll need to make some changes to your Shopify theme.

Booqable provides the code for the integration and booking elements. The step-by-step installation guide explains where to add it and how to replace Shopify’s standard purchase options with Booqable’s rental booking functionality.

Where do I manage rental orders and inventory?

All rental orders are managed in Booqable. You can view upcoming bookings, check inventory availability, update orders, and manage payments and security deposits from your Booqable account.

Shopify remains the place where you manage your website’s design, content, and product pages.
