Custom CSS
A field where you can write custom CSS that will be embedded on pages that have the Rental Widget. This can be used to customize the Rental Widget appearance above and beyond what can be done with the configuration options above.
Please ensure you are experienced with CSS when using this field. Product Rentals Pro doesn't validate the CSS you enter, so it's possible you can cause breaks or errors on the page if you provide invalid CSS syntax.
See the page below for more detailed instructions and examples for customizing the Rental Widget appearance with CSS.
