Welcome to the User Guide for Product Rentals Pro!

What is Product Rentals Pro?

Product Rentals Pro is an app available from the Shopify App Store that allows Shopify stores to rent their products.

Shopify doesn't cater for this out-of-the-box. Product Rentals Pro will help you offer a rental service to your customers, whilst still using the power of Shopify for everything else.

New to Product Rentals Pro and don't fancy reading the docs....?

Is Product Rentals Pro right for my store?

Product Rentals Pro is usually perfect for businesses that rent products in this way:

  • Products can be rented for a set number of days, with the minimum being 1 day

  • You deliver rentals in one or more ways (e.g. post, pick-up) and want your system to be flexible to each of these delivery methods

Product Rentals Pro is not currently suitable for businesses where:

  • Products can be rented for parts of a day (e.g. a number of hours)

Hourly rentals may be part of a future release of Product Rentals Pro, but it won't be available until at least the second half of 2025.

Key features of Product Rentals Pro

  • Tight integration with Shopify, with the app fully embedded into the Shopify admin.

  • And much much more
