Advanced configuration options for open ended rentals

The following are advanced configuration options available for your site. In order to activate them or make changes please contact Support via support@sharefox.co. For an introduction on how open ended rentals work, please read this overview article.

Activating open-ended rentals

This is a premium feature and may already be included in your plan.

Allowing or restricting private users in the Shop

It is possible to restrict open-ended order placement to businesses only. If you would like this restriction, please reach out to Support.

Set open-ended return as default in the Shop

If your customers are mainly companies which usually prefer open-ended rentals, we can activate this return option to be the default on loading the Rental Product page.

Under the hood: Reservation time for open-ended rentals

By default, an estimated return date for the open-ended rental is set to 10 years after start date. This value can be changed if needed and is usually hidden from manager's view under the label "Open-ended".

If your business prefers shorter default estimated return dates, so that a 2nd customer can book in 3 months, 6 months or next season, please reach Support to set it up.

Revealing the date under the "open-ended" label

The hidden estimated return date, usually "10 years from today", will be revealed in Admin once the time is approaching that date, for example 5 years before. This threshold of "5 years" can again be changed for your site if needed.
