You will want to make some test bookings online as soon as possible so you can get an idea of the flow.
First of all, visit your inventory page, (inventory > add manage items) and click on 'view online booking'
Or access it directly from the Channels icon:
You will see what your customers will see (when you have published it)
Choose a Category
Choose a bike size quantity within your chosen product family. Add to Cart - for one or more selection.
Review your cart and extra selection.
When you're happy proceed to the checkout
The final steps are to:
Identify yourself (as a renter) and agreed to Terms and Conditions
- guest registration
- OR create client account
Once you have done that you may be invited to pay (if you have setup a payment gateway)
Payment is also optional - if you don't want to take payment at this stage you can get your customers to pay in-store.
Finally - you will want to go into your back-office and find your rental:
Reservations > Search Mode
in this example I hit the New Button which returned the online booking I just made:
