# Import & Configure a Product

Importing a product helps in the Onboarding process, because by doing so, it also imports some of the common product options you might have (such as Rental Period, Size and Colour).

If you haven't done so already, it may be worth getting a Product set up correctly in Shopify first, before you import your first Product into Product Rentals Pro.

### Setting up Shopify Product Options for Product Rentals Pro

To get your rental products working with Product Rentals Pro, the options/variants on the Product need to be set up in a specific way.

Your products can have the normal options, such as Size or Colour, but to enable the product to be rented for different rental durations, then an option will need to be created to support this. This can be called "Duration", "Rental Period", "Hire Duration" or whatever you prefer for your business. You can then set the values to the different durations you offer for that product.

If your product can be rented for a specific duration only (e.g. only for 4 days), then an option to represent the rental duration may not be required, as it will automatically fall back to the default duration set in Product Rental Pro's [Rental Settings](/user-guide/settings/rental-settings.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.productrentalspro.com/user-guide/getting-started/onboarding/import-a-product.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
