- One change to a quantity updates everything that uses it

Your questions answered
Transparency is at the heart of eola. If you don’t see your question here, get in touch with our team.
How short can a hire be?
Intervals can be as short as 10 minutes. Set a minimum and a maximum too, and customers choose any length in between.
Can the same kit be used for hire and lessons?
Yes. Link a resource to both, and a booking for either takes it off sale for the other.
Can customers hire several things at once?
Yes. They can put different kit and quantities in one basket, such as two boards and two wetsuits, and pay once.
How do I take kit out of action?
Add a calendar note, assign the kit to it and set how long it lasts. Nobody can book it during the note, and it goes back on sale when the note ends.
What price do customers see first?
Each rental shows a ‘From’ price that covers its shortest hire. Longer hires can be discounted.
Can staff take a hire at the desk?
Yes. Staff book rentals from the dashboard. If there isn’t enough kit free, they see a warning and decide whether to go ahead.
