Reservety

Open Reservety, add your first item, and publish a rental calendar in minutes. The workflow is straightforward: build your catalog, set time-based pricing, and decide how you want to hand off items—ship them, deliver locally, or schedule pickups. Create categories, upload photos, and add terms your customers must accept at checkout. Define availability with buffers for prep and cleaning, set stock counts per location, and configure taxes, fees, and security deposits. Connect payment processing in Settings (including Authorize.net, Stripe, or Braintree), tailor branded email templates, and drop the booking widget into any website so visitors can reserve without leaving your pages.

Once you’re live, handle bookings from both the site and the back office. Use quick-quote to price multi-day rentals, apply coupons, and share a pay link. Convert quotes to confirmed orders with a click, collect a deposit, and block inventory automatically for the selected dates. Add optional add-ons or damage waivers, and apply weekend or holiday rules you defined. The calendar shows availability across all locations, so you can steer customers to open dates, avoid conflicts, and prevent double-booking. Staff can edit orders, extend end dates, and reassign items as needed while the system updates availability in real time.

Plan fulfillment without leaving the order. Offer customers carrier choices at checkout (UPS, USPS, FedEx) or a no-cost pickup option. Assign the best fulfillment location, set pickup or drop-off windows, and include return instructions in the confirmation. If you serve local zones, create simple delivery areas with fees that reflect distance or order size. Print packing lists, mark orders as dispatched or picked up, and log returns so items flow back into available stock automatically. For multi-location teams, reserve from one branch and return to another while keeping counts accurate in each place.

Keep cash flow and communication on track. Charge deposits on approval and collect the balance before dispatch, on pickup, or on return—your choice. Issue refunds or adjustments from the same screen and capture payment details securely through your selected gateway. Reservety triggers emails for every key moment: quote sent, order confirmed, payment received, reminder before start, and return due. Customize each template once and reuse it for every order. View orders by status, export data for accounting, and review location-level performance to plan staffing and inventory. As demand grows, add more items, more locations, and more team members—permissions help you control who can edit pricing, approve orders, or issue refunds.
