The #1 app for renting physical products on Shopify
Maximise your rental revenue, minimise headaches and make managing rentals a breeze
check Install and try it out for free, no subscription needed
Specialised in physical product rentals
Other apps try to do course bookings, appointments, accommodation, rentals and more all in one. This results in over-complicated solutions that aren't user-friendly and lack the features needed by businesses renting physical products.
We make processes used by your business a breeze. Staying on top of fulfillments, processing returns, sending automated notifications, charging for insurance, and offering products for both rental and purchase are all easy with Product Rentals Pro.
Whether it's dresses, handbags, bikes, cameras, medical devices, tents or heavy duty equipment, Product Rentals Pro has the features and flexibility to support your business seamlessly.
Dedicated Rental Features
Eliminate spreadsheets and save time & effort with dedicated screens & features that match your most common processes.
Fulfillments

The Most Flexible Buffer System
Maximise availability and minimise headaches with the most flexible and powerful buffer features. Almost all of the below are not considered by competing apps.
Different defaults for Pick Up vs Post
Not all orders are the same. Obviously less buffer time is needed before and after a rental when the customer is picking up and dropping off the items, as opposed to needing them shipped both ways. Other apps fail to recognise this and it's crucial to maximising your calendar availability.
Calendar or Business Days
Set your default or individual rental buffer days as either calendar days or business days, so weekends are taken into account when determining how much buffer is needed before and after each rental for postage and/or after-rental care (e.g. cleaning).
Adjustments on individual rentals
Know a rental is going to take a bit longer than normal for delivery or return shipping? Manually increase the buffers on that rental by a day or two, without changing the customer's rental dates. Other apps use settings for the store or at product level, without ability to adjust an individual rental.
Advanced Rental Widget
Allow customers to toggle between pick-up and post and the widget instantly updates the dates available for selection in the calendar based on your buffer defaults and rules for each delivery method.
Public/Bank Holidays
If using "business days" as your buffer type, PRP will skip any dates you've set up as public/bank holidays for your region, ensuring you don't get caught out!
Last-minute Rentals
Set the number of days notice required, and the cut-off time for last minute rentals. E.g. allow customers to select a delivery date that's 2 days from now, only if it's before 2pm. After 2pm time it would allow 3 days from now.
Styled For You
Our rental widget uses Shopify App Blocks and liquid, meaning it loads with your page not after your page has loaded. This means two things: speed and customizability. And with custom events, the possibilities are endless.
-
Matches Your Theme
95% of the time, the PRP rental widget will automatically match your existing theme styles, fonts & colours, right out-of-the-box.
The widget offers over 25 standard configuration options (Shopify's limit) to tweak colours, labels, buttons and more, all available within Shopify's Theme Customizer.
-
Custom Styling
If the standard config options aren't enough, you can style anything with custom CSS. We have a spot for this in the widget config, or you can put it directly into one of your site's stylesheets.
Adjust spacing, font sizes, box corners, add your own icons... the appearance of everything can be adjusted with basic CSS.
-
Advanced Customization
With custom events emitted by the widget you can get specific content to show/hide, or actions to be taken, when the customer changes variant, selects dates or adds to cart. Examples include:
- Show a checkbox to accept terms & conditions.
- Display an additional message when a particular type of variant is selected.
- Highlight/animate the insurance add-on once dates have been selected and before the customer goes to click the Rent Now button.
- Open a popup with an upsell add-on prior to taking the customer to the full cart page.
Insurance Up-sell
Selling an insurance or accidental damage protection product can be one of the most profitable aspects of a rental business. Product Rental Pro makes it super easy.
Just create an insurance product in Shopify and link it to the insurance add-on in PRP. You can even control the insurance price based on the rental price thresholds you define - so you for more expensive rentals, you can charge more for insurance. Make it opt-in, or opt-out.
And More Features...
-
Calendar View
View rentals for a product on a calendar view. Easily work out whether a new rental can fit in. Hover on existing rentals to see details such as whether it's pickup or post and what buffers have been set.
-
Blackout Periods
Block out particular date ranges, either for your whole store or for individual products/variants. If an item's in for repair, or required for a photo shoot, you can make sure the calendar's blocked.
You can even use blackouts to start accepting rentals for product that you've ordered but haven't received yet, just blackout the period from the current date until the date you expect to have it available.
-
Search, Filter & Save Views
Super fast search and filtering of Rentals by Delivery Method, Rental Status, Rental Start Date, Rental End Date, Tag, Product, Customer and more.
Apply a certain set of filters regularly? Save it as a View and then apply them all again with one click whenever you're using the app.
-
Export to CSV
We hope PRP would eliminate the need for spreadsheets for you, but there may be some external processes you need to run using rental data. Apply any filters you need then export your rentals to CSV instantly!
Rent or Sell
Offer both rental and purchase options for a product from the one product page. If a customer selects your purchase option, the PRP rental widget hides the availability calendar and allows the customer to add to cart & checkout - creating a regular Shopify Order, without created a rental record in Product Rentals Pro.
This can be a great way to get rid of older rental inventory and make room for new. Customers looking to rent, may actually buy instead if you make the price attractive.

Our pricing aligns with the size of your rental business. Usage charges apply for SMS.

Absolutely delighted to have found this app, has given us peace of mind that we have an app we can rely on.
"Tailored Specifically For Rentals"
Highly recommend PRP as they are tailored specifically for rentals, unlike generic booking apps. The setup was easy, and the user interface is intuitive. The ability to manage postal and pickup orders with accurate lag times is fantastic. The checklist feature and dedicated tracking for returns streamline my weekly rentals. The support team is always helpful and open to suggestions. I can't recommend this app enough, it's made my life as a small business owner so much easier!

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? They might be answered here.
-
Do you offer a free trial?
Product Rentals Pro is free to install and free to use until you make it live on your website. Once live, you'll be limited to creating/entering a total of 10 rentals before you need to subscribe to a plan.
-
Will it work for my business?
PRP won't work for businesses doing rentals by the hour or for parts of a day. It's designed to work only in full days.
It's also designed to work with Shopify's variant and pricing system, and as such products can be rented for a set number of days, driven by a duration variant option (e.g. 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days). It doesn't currently allow a customer to choose a random number of days (but this is coming really soon!).
-
Can I see PRP in action?
Absolutely. Book in a full demo with us here.
Or get in touch with us for some example customer websites from your niche.
-
Can I easily transition from another app?
The majority of apps in this space require that you set up your products in Shopify a similar way, so there are usually no changes required in this regard.
The remainder of the set up can all be done on a duplicate of your live theme, so that configuring and testing PRP doesn't impact your live site in any way. When you're ready to go, just publish the duplicate theme and you'll be live with PRP!
-
Does PRP support my language?
Product Rentals Pro has translation built in for the following languages:
English, Danish, French, German, Greek, Icelandic, Italian, Spanish.Looking for another language? Just let us know! We can normally add a new language to our live release within a matter of days.
-
How are rentals counted in plan limits?
Each of our plans (Starter, Growth and Volume) come with a limit on the number of rentals per month.
In this context 'rental' means a rental record within Product Rentals Pro. Each rental can have many products within it.
It is similar to an 'Order', just that technically a Shopify Order can result in multiple rentals being created in Product Rentals Pro, if the customer orders multiple items, with some having different rental dates. Each unique set of rental dates on an Order will result in a separate rental record in Product Rentals Pro.
