I want to offer equipment rental and course booking on my website but am frustrated with the companies that offer these solutions as integrations.
For instance the course is run over 2 days, 4 hours per day. Surprisingly I haven’t found a provider that can allow people to book a course that runs over 2 days.
For equipment rental, it’s basic film equipment and bundles. But I find all the providers to be complicated and confusing. Like they’re offering way too much functionality for what I need.
Does anyone know of simple solutions to these problems or, preferably, a way to build/integrate these simple features into my Sparkle website? I’m a beginner small business so there’s not a lot of equipment or clients to manage at this stage.
Hi @sensible …
- I might suggest Calendy (https://calendly.com) for your over 2 days courses as you can set this up to however you want. You can even take payment.
- Then for hiring out your equipment have you looked over Booqable (https://booqable.com)
Both integrate really well with Sparkle.
The other way is take a look at Ecwid (https://www.ecwid.com/) which also integrates seamlessly. into Sparkle. It is one of the big guns but it has everything you need…
Some ready made, but customisable solutions can be found at PHP Jabbers. They make server-side applications that integrate into Sparkle pages with a simple peice of embed code. An equipment Rental application can be seen HERE, whilst they offer a choice of different booking/calendar systems including a class scheduling system that may meet your needs - details HERE.
