Want to rent out gear, venues, tools, or anything else—but not sure how to do it with WooCommerce?
Good news: you can turn your existing WooCommerce store into a full-featured rental business in just a few steps. No coding, no rebuilding. All you need is the right plugin—like Calentra.
Let’s walk through how it works.
Why Rentals Work on WooCommerce
Rentals are a booming model—perfect for:
🎧 Audio/Video equipment
🛠️ Tools and machinery
📸 Photography gear
🏕️ Camping gear
🏠 Venues or rooms
You get paid per time slot instead of per product. But WooCommerce doesn’t support bookings or rentals by default. That’s where Calentra comes in.
Step 1: Install Calentra
First, install Calentra on your WordPress site:
- Upload the plugin like any other.
- Activate it.
- It adds rental-specific options to your WooCommerce products.
Step 2: Create a Rentable Product
In your product settings:
- Check “Enable Booking” (Calentra adds this).
- Set available dates and time slots.
- Choose price per slot (hour/day/week).
- Save.
Now your item is no longer sold—it’s rented for time.
Step 3: Let Customers Book
Customers will now see a calendar and time picker on the product page.
They select their rental window and check out normally.
✅ Blocks overlapping bookings
✅ Sends confirmation email
✅ Adds booking to admin panel
You can even configure automatic calendar invites (.ics) and manage everything from your dashboard.
Bonus Features for Rentals
- Variable duration pricing (e.g. ₱100/hour, ₱500/day)
- Blackout dates (maintenance or holidays)
- Admin booking panel for quick overview
- Custom fields for rental agreements, deposits, ID upload
