The 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 , which is the default/recommended mode within PRP. The guide to setting up Products in Shopify is below:
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.
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.
The setting for each variant option can always be changed from the Options & Variants Settings screen, and more detailed explanation of the settings is also on that page.
Once your product is configured, you can come back to the Quickstart and tick the checkbox to proceed to the next step.
If you chose to use , 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 , then the "Affects Duration" column won't be shown.
After import, your product needs to be configured. This really only means setting how many units you have available for rent, and if using , how many days each duration option value represents. For a detailed explanation of the settings on the Configure Product screen, see:
