Onetime Pay Per Rental Shopping Cart Software: Equipment, DVD, Videogame Rentals & More |
 |
|
| |

| |
 We have now added to our regular rental queue system a onetime pay per rental system. Onetime rentals vary from a membership rental website in that people don't have to have a membership to reserve/rent items. Our rental system is all run from a web browser, meaning that you have the flexibility to login from anywhere, and your customers can browse your website and reserve rentals from anywhere. There are many uses and applications for our onetime rental system. Everything is included in the software such as barcode management, managing rental reservations so that people don't try to overbook items, and more. Our solution is based on php/mysql which most web hosts support.
With our rental software you can:
- Run a membership based rental store
- Offer onetime pay per rentals
- Offer products for sale
Our rental software can be used in a variety of industries:
- Onetime & Rental Queue Membership DVD and Videogame rentals
- Rentals for sports equipment like snowboards, bikes, and surfboards
- Electronics equipment rentals like projectors, computers, and televisions
- Venue and Location rentals
- Property rentals or hotel reservations system
- Rental system for car rentals
- Construction equipment rentals
- HVAC equipment, tools,
- Boat, marina, watersports equipment rentals
The I.T. Web Experts rental shopping cart is the most feature rich rental system on the market, and is OPEN SOURCE meaning you can further customize your store after you buy it. We do not limit how many products you can put into your store like many other solutions on the market, and there are no additional monthly fees of anykind once you purchase the system.
