# Import & Configure a Rental Product

{% hint style="info" %}
This page only relates to completing the Quickstart onboarding displayed when you first install the app. For more general guides, visit [Importing Products](/user-guide/managing-products/importing-products.md) or [Configuring Products](/user-guide/managing-products/configuring-products.md) 
{% endhint %}

The [Quickstart](/user-guide/quickstart-guide.md) within the app makes this step fairly straight-forward.

First you're asked if you already have a Product set up within Shopify to import as a rental.

If not, you can create one, just as you normally would, but with a couple of recommended settings to make it suitable for rental and Product Rentals Pro. Just keep in mind that setting up a Duration option is only necessary when using [Predefined Durations](/user-guide/quickstart-guide/rental-duration-options.md), which is the default/recommended mode within PRP.  The guide to setting up Products in Shopify is below:

[Setting up your Products in Shopify](/user-guide/getting-started/setting-up-your-products-in-shopify.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Import the Product

Once your product is ready, you can click the **Select Product for Import** button, which will open the Product Picker modal. From here you can scroll or search to find the product you want to import, tick it, and click the **Select** button.

### New Variant Options

After import, you **may** see a popup saying new variant options have been discovered. This will happen if you've imported any product that has variant options, assuming you haven't imported products with the same options before.

**It won't open** if you've chosen a product without variants or if you've chosen a product with variant options that've been imported before.

Any new options found will default to **Affects Units**.

If you chose to use [Predefined Durations](/user-guide/quickstart-guide/rental-duration-options.md), and any of the options are the option you've set up to represent the number of days the product is being rented for, then set that one to **Affects Duration**. Note, if you chose [Manually-selected Date Ranges](/user-guide/quickstart-guide/rental-duration-options.md), then the "Affects Duration" column won't be shown.

The setting for each variant option can always be changed from the [Options & Variants Settings](/user-guide/settings/options-and-variants-settings.md) screen, and more detailed explanation of the settings is also on that page.

### Configuring the Product

After import, your product needs to be configured. This really only means setting how many units you have available for rent, and if using [Predefined Durations](/user-guide/quickstart-guide/rental-duration-options.md), how many days each duration option value represents. For a detailed explanation of the settings on the Configure Product screen, see:

{% content-ref url="/pages/NalE59zru2prXNKu7D1d" %}
[Configuring Products](/user-guide/managing-products/configuring-products.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Once your product is configured, you can come back to the Quickstart and tick the checkbox to proceed to the next step.
