Product rentals for Shopify

Rent out your products, your way.

Bookaroo adds rentals to your Shopify store. Rent by the hour, day, or week, collect deposits, and manage returns without ever double-booking an item.

Built for rentals

Everything you need to rent, not just sell.

Bookaroo sits on top of Shopify's catalog, inventory, and orders, so you run rentals without managing a parallel system.

Automatic availability checks guarantee each item rents to one customer per time slot. Turn on inventory holds and other sales channels can’t oversell it.

And more

The operational details rentals actually need.

The things that turn a one-off booking into a business you can run every day.

  • Multi-location ready

    Track rentals across every location with location-specific availability and inventory.

  • Delivery & return windows

    Set drop-off and return-pickup time windows separate from the rental dates themselves.

  • Take bookings your way

    Create phone and walk-in reservations in the admin today; storefront product-page booking is on the way.

  • Cross-channel conflict detection

    If you don’t hold inventory, Bookaroo flags reservations when another channel consumes the stock they rely on.

  • Flexible booking changes

    Extend, shorten, reassign an asset, adjust quantity, reschedule, or cancel. Multi-item bookings update atomically.

  • Native to Shopify

    Built on Shopify’s catalog, inventory, and orders. No parallel system to reconcile, no exported spreadsheets.

How it works

From install to first booking in an afternoon.

  1. 01

    Install on Shopify

    Add Bookaroo to your store. It connects to your existing products, inventory, and locations, with nothing to migrate.

  2. 02

    Configure a rental

    Set hourly, daily, and weekly rates, a deposit policy, pooled or serialized inventory, and buffer times between rentals.

  3. 03

    Take bookings & track returns

    Reserve from the admin without double-booking, collect deposits up front, and see what’s going out and coming back each day.

Frequently asked questions

Still wondering whether Bookaroo fits how you rent? Reach out at hello@bookaroo.dev.

    • What can I rent with Bookaroo?

      Any physical product in your Shopify catalog: event gear like tables and chairs, equipment like cameras and tools, sports gear, and more. Bookaroo is built for physical-inventory rentals, not appointments.

    • Does it really prevent double-bookings?

      Yes. An availability engine checks every reservation so the same item is never booked twice for overlapping dates. Turn on inventory holds and other sales channels can’t oversell it either.

    • Can I rent by the hour?

      Yes. Set hourly, daily, and weekly rates per item, and Bookaroo applies the best-value combination for the customer, or strict tiers if you prefer.

    • How do deposits and balances work?

      Collect a deposit up front (a percentage, a flat amount, or none) and charge the balance later, using native Shopify draft-order payment terms.

    • Pooled or serialized inventory?

      Both. Rent from a shared pool with quantity tracking (e.g. 50 chairs), or manage individual serialized units with their own serial numbers and history (e.g. specific cameras).

    • Does it support multiple locations?

      Yes. Track rentals across locations with location-specific availability and inventory, plus delivery and return-pickup windows.

    • Do customers book on the storefront, or do I?

      Today you create phone and walk-in reservations end-to-end in the Shopify admin. Customer-facing storefront booking on the product page is on the roadmap.

    • When does Bookaroo launch, and what does it cost?

      Bookaroo is in final development ahead of Shopify App Store submission. Join the waitlist for launch updates. It’s free for early adopters.

    • I have a question that isn’t here.

      Email hello@bookaroo.dev. We’d genuinely like to hear what you’re trying to rent, and it helps us prioritize.
