Import a Product

Onboarding - Step 2

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 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.
