Locations

A location is a place you rent from: a shop, a beach kiosk, a depot. If you have one shop you will have one location and rarely look at this screen again. If you have five, this is where they live.

Every category and every object belongs to a location, and so does every booking.

The list​

Locations shows your locations as cards, each with its categories and how many objects it holds. Create location adds one.

Creating or editing a location​

The fields are:

  • Name: what your team calls it ("Beach kiosk", "Main shop").
  • Street, number, addition, postal code, city: the address customers collect from.
  • Email address and phone number: the contact details that appear on documents for rentals from this location.
  • Image: a photo, shown in the booking widget when a customer chooses where to collect from.

Opening hours​

Each day of the week has an on/off switch and, when it is on, an opening and closing time. A day that is switched off reads Closed on this day.

Opening hours do real work:

  • they limit the start and end times offered when you create a booking;
  • they limit what the booking widget offers your customers;
  • they draw the day calendars on the bookings screen.

A new location starts at 09:00–17:00 on weekdays so it is usable immediately.

Closed days​

Beyond the weekly pattern you can mark individual closed dates: public holidays, your annual shutdown, the week you take the boats out of the water. Nothing can be booked to start or end on a closed date.

Location details​

Opening a location shows a details screen with three tabs:

  • General: the address, contact details, image and opening hours described above.
  • Categories: the categories that belong to this location, with their base price, price interval, deposit and colour. You can create a category straight from here. Categories marked internal usage are ones your own staff use but customers cannot book.
  • Resources: the stock at this location, with brand, reference and when it was created. You can add objects from here too.

Categories differ per location​

A category belongs to one location. Two shops that both rent city bikes each have their own "City bikes" category, with their own prices and their own opening hours. That sounds like duplication, but it is what lets one shop charge holiday prices while the other does not.
