Create your Rental Website in Magento 2
You must be familiar with the huge success of the Airbnb site. This is because the online renting business is on the rise and is booming.
Basically, the rental business is about renting items to customers for a specific period of time and generating income by charging the rent fee from the tenants.
One can make easy money by renting a variety of items like bikes, clothes, home appliances etc. Online rental markets have branched out immensely and renting everything we can imagine online.
SELL ANYTHING:
If you are planning to start an online rental business but lack ideas on how to start with? Then, here are some great renting ideas you can start off your renting business using the Advanced Booking module-
- Vehicles – Due to the fast-moving work culture, high fuel prices, and thriving tourism sector, there is an increased the high demand for the vehicle renting business.
- Dresses & Accessories – For style and fashion-conscious people, expensive and designer clothes are no longer a fantasy, all thanks to the dress renting business.
- Books – Do you have old book logs and don’t want to sell them either? Then, simply rent your books and start generating earnings.
- Furniture & Home Appliances – Due to greater geographical mobility and new consumer habits people don’t want to invest in home equipment rather they prefer to use them on rent.
In this blog, we will take a reference website named Flyrobe to describe how one can create a clothing rental website using Magento 2 Advanced Booking system.
PRODUCT DETAILS –
In renting business the customer always looks for the product’s current condition. Because the product has been on lease with many previous customers, therefore before making a booking they want to check it once.
Suppose a visitor comes to your store and searches for the information about your booking property and didn’t find it. Then you might lose your customers no matter which high brand that product belongs to.
But vendors tend to focus more on product advertisement and don’t pay heed to the product description. So, the proper product description is equally important as much as the product advertisement as it grabs the user’s attention by answering their queries.
Therefore, you must list the unique product description along with the images which will help the customer to visualize the property condition and get the desired information.
Flyrobe: The product details like name, description, and images.
Webkul: The product details like name, description, and images.
RENTING PERIOD:
Before you start your renting business you should know what kind of renting business models available. The renting business has two business spheres – Hourly and Daily.
The hourly-based renting type is the best model if your business deals in books, dresses, and accessories. As customers mostly need these items for a few hours for the events like weddings, parties, festive functions etc.
While the daily-based booking type best suits for products that consumer needs for multiple days like vehicles, furniture, and home appliances.
Be it hanging out with friends, meetings, official trips or tourist trips across the city, hire a car for the days you want to and get pay accordingly.
Our module supports both types of renting types – hourly based and daily-based as well.
Flyrobe: The renting period of the product.
Webkul: The renting period of the product.
RENTING PRICE:
Flyrobe: The renting price of the product.
Webkul: The renting price of the product will be displayed either as “per day” or “per hour” based on the renting type selected.
And the total renting amount will be displayed as per the selected renting period as per the below image.
