Enabling availability in your online store will ensure that your customers will be informed as to which products are available or not, how much of the product is available, and when the product will next become available.
This provides a clear and simplified overview for the customer, so they can find all the availability information they are looking for, and to provide extra ease-of-use of your rental store.
How it works
1. Display availability on the online store
You can show or hide availability in your online store. The option you choose determines how your customers place orders and how those orders come into your Booqable account.

Go to Settings > Online reservations > Preferences > Availability.
Check the box labeled Enable availability.
Click Save.
2. Display the availability calendar
On the same page, you can choose to enable or disable the product availability calendar, and the online shopping cart calendar.
Both calendars use three colors to display product availability.
🟢 The item or items are available
🟠 The item or items are available, but not for the entire day
🔴 The item or items are unavailable
💡Note: Customers can zoom in on days with partial availability to quickly see at what time the product(s) are available
1. Click Show on calendar to display the pop-up product availability calendar that will appear on individual products, and the online shopping cart
3. Choose whether to hide product quantities
1. On the same page, click or un-click Hide quantities.
By clicking the pop-up availability calendar itself, having quantities visible will display the quantity of this product available on each day of this calendar month.
With quantities hidden, the numbers will disappear.
You can show or hide the number of available items of your products depending on your needs.
