How to configure a Product in Product Rentals Pro

Once you've imported a Product, you can configure it within Product Rentals Pro.
At this moment in time, "configuration" in Product Rentals Pro only means:
Setting the number of units for each Option value (or combination of values) the Product has, for Options set up as affecting units.
Setting the number of days for each Option value the Product has, for Options set up as affecting duration.
Everything else is powered by either your Product Options & Variants created in Shopify.
For info on setting up Options as affecting Units or affecting Duration, check out this guide: Options & Variants Settings
First, locate the Product using search from the Products list, after navigating to "Products" from the main Product Rentals Pro app menu. Then click "Configure Product".
Set Units For the Option values or value combinations appearing in the Units table, enter the number of units you have of that Product. For example, if a particular Product, the "SkiPro3000 Helmet" has Size and Colour options, a row in the table might be: Size: Small, Colour: Red. You would enter the quantity of Small Red SkiPro3000 Helmets you have available for rent.
Set Durations For the Option values appearing in the Duration table, enter the number of rental days that each value represents. Product Rentals Pro will try to automate this when the Product is first imported. For example, if the product had a "Rental Period" Option with value "4 days", the app will automatically default the duration value to "4". In some cases it won't be able to do this, for example - if you have an Option value called "Week". The value would start as empty and you would need to enter "7" as the duration for this Option value.
Save your changes
If you're not seeing Options you would expect to see in the Product configuration Units and Durations tables, it is likely because those Options haven't yet been set as either affecting Units or affecting Duration. This can be done on the Options & Variants Settings screen.
The Product configuration screen can also be accessed directly from the Product within Shopify admin. Just go to the More Actions button at the top right of screen, then Configure in Product Rentals Pro.
