Reservations with Pickups

Reservations with Pickup Mode - reserving and then also tracking item check out and check in.

In this booking mode, users reserve equipment online. When they arrive to pick up the equipment, you or they scan the QR code on the item to confirm pickup. When they return, the item’s QR code is scanned again to confirm return.

If your business revolves around people reserving and checking out valuable equipment, then the Pickup Mode is for you. Although it has more steps than the other two modes, it is simplifying and time-saving for a complex process.

Start the process by selecting Reserve from the Item page:

Optionally, you can adjust the start time of day by clicking on the From time text.
