Quickstart guide

This is the short version: four steps that take you from “app installed” to “first test booking placed”.

All four steps are tracked on your admin dashboard with a progress bar — you don’t need to remember what’s next.

The four steps

1. Pick a rental duration mode — Predefined durations (recommended) or Manually-selected date ranges.
2. Configure your first rental product — link a Shopify product, set price/duration/inventory.
3. Install the theme components — enable the Rental Calendar Widget app embed on your product pages.
4. Check it on your storefront — open the product page, pick dates, add to cart.

Before you start

• Make sure the Shopify product exists and is published on your Online Store sales channel. The picker won’t show up on unpublished products.
• If you have another rental app installed (IzyRent, Appointment Booking, Sesami, …), uninstall it before testing to avoid cart conflicts.
• You can follow this guide on a development store or a password-protected production store.
