Minimum quantity per booking and configurable preparation time

With RentAccent, you remain flexible in responding to the needs of your rental business. In this update, we introduce three useful features that contribute to better control, planning, and organization within your booking system:
 

• Set a minimum quantity per reservation
• Extended preparation time up to 1 month
• Permanently delete removed bookings and items

Read below what this can mean for your workflow.
 

Set a minimum quantity per booking

Some bookable items should only be offered from a certain quantity onwards. Think of group packages, rentals with low margins, or products where it is not logistically profitable to supply small quantities. You can now set the minimum quantity required per reservation for each bookable item. This prevents unwanted bookings and helps you maintain control over your offer.

Example applications:

1. Minimum of 2 bicycles per booking
2. Bookable from 4 persons only
3. Minimum purchase of 5 package tickets

How to set it up:
Go to 'Rental items' and scroll down. At the bottom, set the minimum per reservation.
 

Extended preparation time: now up to 1 month

Do you need more time to prepare a booking? For example, for cleaning, external coordination, or deliveries? Previously, you could set a maximum preparation time of 1 week. From now on, this has been extended to 1 month. With this feature, you determine the minimum time between the moment of booking and the start of the rental period. This prevents customers from making last-minute bookings when you do not yet have time to prepare everything.

How to set it up:
For each rental item, you can define the minimum preparation time. You can now set this to 14 days, 3 weeks, or 1 month.
 

Permanently delete removed bookings or items

Previously, deleted bookings and rental items were moved to the trash but could not be fully removed. With this update, you can now permanently delete everything — including bookings that have already been paid online or on location.

Important to know:

1. Deleted items remain in the trash for 1 month
2. After that, they are automatically permanently deleted
3. You can choose to permanently delete them manually earlier
4. ​Please note: this action is irreversible

This feature helps keep your system clean and organized, without unnecessary data from old or incorrect bookings.
