Rentby Product rentals for Shopify
Rent out your products by the day or for fixed periods, with a refundable deposit, in Shopify’s own checkout.
Rentby adds a rental calendar to your product pages, built for stores that rent out what they own: dresses, party and event gear, cameras, bikes, tools and baby gear. Shoppers pick a start and return date, see the price and deposit, and pay in your normal checkout. Rentby counts every unit you own, so a date is only offered while one is free, and every rental is checked again at checkout.
Install in a couple of clicks and add your first rental item in minutes. Every feature is on the Free plan, deposits included, up to 10 rentals a month.

Never double booked
Dates with no free unit are crossed out, and every rental is checked again at checkout, even from an old cart or an abandoned cart email.
Today, at a glance

What Rentby does
By the day or the night
Count rentals in days or nights, with a cheaper daily rate for longer rentals.
Fixed periods

Added at checkout as their own line, not taxed, and refunded from the app in full or in part.
Never double booked
Rentby counts the units you own and checks every rental again at checkout. Cancelled, refunded or edited orders free their units.
