Read every answerShowHide
- What does it cost?
- Nothing until an order is paid. Then BookR keeps 8% of the whole order (items, delivery and setup together), taken from your payout. Your customers pay no BookR fee, so your price on BookR is the same as on your own site.
- What do customers see?
- Your own shop page: your catalog, hours, pickup area, delivery and setup, and your Google rating.
- How do I get set up?
- A checklist on Your shop walks you through each step, and shows what's left.
- Can I price the way I do now?
- By the hour, the day, the weekend or the week. Only a day price is required. Add the others you already use (hour blocks like 2 or 4 hours, each added day, events, weekends, weeks, peak season) and BookR applies the right one for the dates. On a one-day order, customers pick the length they need.
- Do I control delivery and setup?
- Yes. Each service is off, optional or required. Quote every job, or set a flat fee or a price by distance.
- What does an order look like?
- One order for everything. For delivery, customers give the venue, event times and access (stairs, loading dock, long carry) before you quote, so you can plan the job first.
- Who sets the final price?
- You do. Change any line, see how many of each item are free on those dates, and choose how long the quote holds (3, 7 or 14 days). The customer sees exactly what changed from their request before they approve.
- What do I actually receive?
- The customer pays your quote. BookR keeps 8% of the whole order, and you receive the rest.
- Can I get double-booked?
- An order holds its items from the moment it arrives, so the same unit can't go out twice.
- When do I get paid?
- The customer pays by card before anything is booked. Stripe sends your share to your bank after the rental.
- What about damage and late returns?
- You handle them directly with your customer, the way you do today, and BookR never charges your customer for damage. What BookR gives you is the full record of every rental to back you up.
- Do I have to change how I run?
- No. Keep your website and your rental software. BookR is one more place customers can order from you.
- Where do renters come from?
- BookR hasn't opened to renters yet. We're lining up shops in Larimer County, CO and McHenry County, IL first, so customers find a full set of shops on day one. There's no cost to you until an order is paid, and we'll tell you before anything opens.
Launch partners
We're piloting in McHenry County, IL and Larimer County, CO.
We're starting small on purpose, with a handful of local rental shops, so we can get it right before we grow. Launch partners get a free kit to promote their shop:
- Social graphics for Facebook, Instagram and Google, made for your shop
- Counter cards and handout cards with a QR code to your shop page
- Flyers for your storefront and your website
- A website button that links straight to your catalog
- Tracked links, so you can see what your own materials bring in
- We set up your shop page from your inventory, in any format
Have a lot to list? Send us your inventory.
Email your catalog in any format (a spreadsheet, a PDF, photos or a link to your price list) and we'll set up your shop page for you.
