- Photos uploaded or picked from the media library
- Pooled stock for equipment counted, not named
- Other names customers use, so the right type is picked from their words

Seasonal prices
Give date ranges their own price, once or every year, as a fixed amount or a % up or down.

- Example: +20% or -10%
Stay rules and closed dates
Minimum and maximum stay, check-in and check-out times, cleaning time between reservations, minimum notice, booking window, and closed dates or a minimum stay for a period.
- Closed dates for a type, a unit or the whole business
- Optionally close hourly bookings on public holidays
No overbooking
All rules are checked together and the reservation is saved in one step, so a unit is never booked twice; when full, the nearest free dates are suggested.
Availability grid
Units across days: stays, rentals, seatings, holds, check-ins and closed dates; departures with seats left.
Hold until the deposit, then the balance
The reservation is held until a % or fixed deposit is paid and freed if it is not; the balance or the whole amount is asked for later through a payment request in the chat.
- Default hold 30 minutes
- Payment kinds: deposit, balance, security deposit, whole amount
- If the chat window is closed the request waits for the customer's next message
- A payment that arrives after the unit was given away becomes a task for the team
Refundable security deposit
The security deposit is collected through a payment request or recorded by hand at pick-up; at return it is released fully or partly, deducted with a reason, or forfeited.
- Statuses: not received, held, released, partly released, deducted, forfeited, waived
- Refund through Payments+ when it was paid that way, else a task for the team
- Optional automatic release on a clean return
- Never taxed
- Ways to take it: payment request, cash, cheque, bank transfer or card hold
Check-in and check-out
Check-in or pick-up and check-out or return are recorded; when the type asks for it, an ID document and a signed waiver are needed first, and damage at return is deducted from the security deposit.
- ID and waiver need the Documents and Consent modules
- The team can override with a confirmation
- Ask the customer for missing items in the chat
