Rental Booking Integration: What You Need to Know

Rental Booking Integration: What You Need to Know

At 10com, we want your website to do more than just look great — we want it to work for your business. If you rent out equipment, property, vehicles, or gear, choosing the right rental booking platform is critical for a smooth customer experience and efficient operations.

This guide explains what to consider, how we help, and what’s required from you.

Why We Recommend Third-Party Rental Booking Platforms

Most built-in booking tools — including Wix Bookings — are not designed for inventory-based rentals. They often lack features that rental businesses need, such as:

• Inventory management by item and time slot

• Pickup and delivery logic

• Rental durations and deposit options

• Add-ons or bundled product listings

• Real-time availability

• Optimized customer checkout experience

For this reason, we recommend using a dedicated third-party rental booking system. These tools are built specifically for businesses like yours and typically offer greater flexibility, usability, and scale.

How Integration Works

Here’s how we work with your booking system:

• You choose the rental platform that fits your needs

• You’ll set up your own account, services, pricing, rental durations, and payment preferences

• Once setup is complete, send us either:

  • A direct link to your booking portal, or

  • An embed code provided by the platform

We’ll integrate your booking system into your website in a way that aligns with your layout — whether that’s on a dedicated booking page, product page, or a pop-up.

Popular Rental Booking Platforms to Explore

While you’re free to use any system that fits your workflow, here are some widely used options:

• Booqable – Ideal for managing item-specific rentals with delivery options

• Checkfront – Great for gear and activity rentals with variable pricing

• Twice (formerly Rentle) – Streamlined for equipment or cart-based rentals

• SimplyBook.me – Good for simple, calendar-based rental categories

• FareHarbor – Powerful platform often used for tours and complex rental logistics

We’ll integrate your preferred system once it’s ready — but you’re responsible for setup and management.

What’s Not Included

To ensure security and efficiency, please note:

• We do not access or log into your rental platform

• We do not configure services, inventory, or pricing

• We do not set up or connect payment processors within third-party systems

• We will integrate your rental system into your website once it’s fully set up and ready

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you help me choose a rental booking platform?
We can recommend popular platforms based on your business model, but ultimately you select the system that fits your workflow and customer experience goals.

Q: Will you set up my rental booking account?
No. You’ll be responsible for setting up your account, including services, rental terms, pricing, and payments. Once it’s ready, we’ll handle the website integration.

Q: Do you support Wix Bookings?
Yes, but only by request. Wix Bookings is typically not ideal for rentals, as it lacks inventory management and more advanced rental-specific features. Most clients find third-party tools to be more flexible and scalable.

Q: What do I need to send you?
Send us either a link to your booking page or an embed code from your platform. We’ll take care of the rest.

Q: What if I change platforms later?
No problem. Just send us the updated link or embed code and we’ll reintegrate the new platform into your site.
