If you are offering renting services, [[https://simplybook.me/ Simplybook]] can become a suitable booking software for you.
;If you rent items for hours:
:Make your items as providers. For example if you rent musical instruments, create providers Flute, Bass, Violin, etc.
:If you rent for different duration you will need to create multiple services with different duration. For example: Renting 1 hour, Renting 2 hours, Renting 6 hours, etc.
;If you rent items for days
1. Settings//General Settings//Configuration//Allow service to extend over breaktime and Allow service to extend over closing hours.<br/>
2. Create service with the duration corresponding to the amount of days your service will be offered for (3 days=3 hours, 7 days=7 hours).<br/>
3. In the Time settings//Company opening hours (when you have only 1 service) or in the working hours of the provider (Time settings//Service provider schedule) related to the service (see how to relate service and provider [[Settings#I need certain performers to provide only specific services.| here]] ) open only 1 hour each day.<br/>
4. The system will then book the number of hours indicated in service duration as the number of days.

<span class="qa">[[Different clinics/salons under one account]]</span>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
If you have several clinics/salons/gyms/etc you can use [[Plugins#Unit_location Locations plugin]] and make each clinic or salon a location. You can assign providers who work on that location and while booking your services, clients will first choose location and then service and provider.

<span class="qa">[[Services limited to the amount of rooms or items]]</span>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
For those companies that are restricted to amount of rooms or items we recommend to check [[Plugins#Limit_bookings | Limit bookings plugin]].
This plugin allows you to restrict booking quantity which can be booked at the same time. This plugin is useful when your services require additional things like dental chair or room in the studio etc. When the booking limit is reached the corresponding time interval will looks like breaktime at the booking page (and in the admin interface if you haven't set to skip this restrictions for admin). It is possible to limit booking number at the same time generally, and also you can set certain limit for each service separately.
