Section titled “September 16, 2026”Microsoft Outlook Calendar
Section titled “Microsoft Outlook Calendar”Growth merchants can connect Outlook.com or Microsoft 365, choose an editable destination calendar and keep private rental events synchronized from Rentshelf. The integration creates events for upcoming bookings and updates or removes them after booking changes, returns and cancellations. Customer details and invitations remain optional privacy controls.
Set up Microsoft Outlook Calendar
Booking changes and saved views
Section titled “Booking changes and saved views”The booking detail workflow now checks availability and presents a before-and-after review for changes to dates, quantity, variant, add-ons, delivery and handover times. It records the recalculated price difference separately so staff can track an additional collection or refund without treating the label as payment proof.
The Bookings page can save reusable combinations of status, date, product, location, future-only and search filters.

Rental agreements
Section titled “Rental agreements”Growth merchants can configure product-specific rental terms, require storefront acknowledgement and collect a typed-name signature through the private booking link. Documents use versioned snapshots and retain signed history when a material booking change requires a new agreement.
Rental waitlist
Section titled “Rental waitlist”Growth merchants can enable a waitlist for selected products or all active rental products. Verified customers can request unavailable dates, and Rentshelf can send one controlled invitation when matching product, variant and location capacity opens. Staff can filter requests, add notes, message customers, remove entries and match successful bookings.
Plans and documentation
Section titled “Plans and documentation”Growth plan descriptions now identify Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar across the app, pricing page, documentation and Shopify App Store listing. The documentation navigation now includes the new connected-app and operational guides.
Balance and booking visibility
Section titled “Balance and booking visibility”The Bookings list more clearly distinguishes upcoming due dates, sent payment links, failed delivery and reconciled paid balances. Amendment adjustments remain separate from the original booking balance until staff records the real payment or refund outcome.
September 13, 2026
Section titled “September 13, 2026”Google Calendar integration
Section titled “Google Calendar integration”Growth-plan merchants can connect a private destination calendar and synchronize storefront and manual bookings. Booking date changes update the event, cancellations remove it, and an optional product-specific busy calendar can block conflicting availability.
Booking CSV export
Section titled “Booking CSV export”The Bookings page can now export the records in the active status and future-date view. Calendar exports continue to respect the filters applied in the calendar workspace.
Manual booking customer details
Section titled “Manual booking customer details”The manual booking flow now separates first and last names and uses a country-aware phone field. Selecting an existing Shopify customer fills the available contact details into the booking form for review before saving.
Documentation navigation
Section titled “Documentation navigation”The documentation now includes this changelog and a direct Install Rentshelf action. Documentation pages use a text-first layout without product screenshots.
