Getting started

Installation

Install RentalSuite from the Shopify App Store (or your Partner / development install) and approve the permissions the app needs for products, orders, customers, and the storefront.

Install from Shopify

  1. Log in to Shopify Admin.
  2. Go to Apps and find RentalSuite (by DeveloperLook), or open the install link from your Partner dashboard for a development store.
  3. Click Install and review the permission request.
  4. After approval, you are redirected into the app inside Shopify Admin.

Permissions the app requests

RentalSuite uses Shopify API access to:

AccessWhy it is needed
Products (read & write)Link rental profiles, media, and inventory
Orders (read & write)Sync bookings, tags, and fulfillment
Customers (read & write)Profiles, portals, and messaging
Discounts (read & write)Promotions mirrored to Shopify when enabled
Locations / shippingPickup locations and delivery policy
Purchase optionsSubscribe / recurring rental contracts
App proxyStorefront availability, stock, and checkout helpers
Files / metafieldsRental rates, modes, and catalog copy

Verify installation

After install, confirm:

  1. Dashboard loads without errors.
  2. The app nav shows Products, Bookings & Inquiries, Storefront, Settings, and Billing.
  3. You can open Storefront and follow the theme block instructions.
  4. Billing shows your plan and product cap.

Storefront block

The rental product UI runs through the Rental product page theme app block. Open Storefront in the app for a deep link into the theme editor.

If nothing appears on a product page:

  1. Confirm the block is added to the product template.
  2. Keep Product information enabled on the product template (both sections stay on; RentalSuite shows the right one per product). Confirm the product is linked in Products inside the app.
  3. Hard-refresh the storefront (and clear theme cache if needed).
