Pricing Settings

The Pricing group controls how rental days are counted and what happens when a unit that has future bookings is sold outright. These are shop-wide defaults. Every setting in this group can be overridden for an individual product with the Product Admin add-on.

Setting Default What it does
First day is free No Excludes the pickup day when counting the days that are charged.
Last day is free No Excludes the return day when counting the days that are charged.
Selling a booked product Cap what can be sold Controls what happens when a unit is purchased outright while future rental dates are already booked against it.

First day is free / Last day is free

By default, both the pickup day and the return day count as chargeable days. Enabling First day is free removes the pickup day from the charged count; enabling Last day is free removes the return day. Either or both can be switched on to match your shop's trading terms.

Selling a booked product

When a shop rents and sells the same item, an outright sale of a unit can create a conflict: the unit is gone, but a customer already has it booked for a future date. Selling a booked product gives you two ways to handle that situation.

  • Cap what can be sold at what is not booked — The sale is refused if it would leave a future booking without a unit to fulfil it. The customer cannot buy more units than are free of upcoming bookings. Choose this when preventing the conflict automatically is more important than completing every sale. It suits shops with a small fleet where a stranded booking would be very difficult to recover from.
  • Sell anyway, and flag the bookings it strands — The sale goes through regardless, and any bookings that are now short of a unit are marked so you can see them. Choose this when you prefer to handle clashes manually — for example, when you can source an extra unit or rearrange your fleet before the pickup date. It suits shops that treat the booking record as a prompt to act rather than an automatic block.

The right choice depends on how much flexibility your shop has when a conflict arises. If you have no way to fulfil a stranded booking, cap the sales. If you can usually resolve a clash before it reaches the customer, flagging gives you the room to do that without turning away a sale.
