Scanlily’s Inventory View allows subscribers to display their Scanlily-managed assets on a website that anyone can view without requiring login to Scanlily. Furthermore, the look of the website can be customized to match other websites. This is a handy way to dynamic content outside of Scanlily. For example, you could display items available for booking or display up-to-date information about an item. As soon as you post new items into Scanlily and select them to be publicly viewable, they appear on this external web page. If you update an item's quantity, it will instantly update on this dynamic page as well.
Customers who wish to book items from this list can click on Checkout or Reserve directly from your website. They will then be prompted to either login to their Scanlily account to complete the process or perform a quick registration to establish a new account and complete the action.
The feature is accessed by selecting My Items->Inventory View from the User Website navigation.
