FAQ

What is Rentline?

Rentline is a Shopify theme for rental businesses. It shows prices per rental period, rate tables, equipment specs, safety documents, pickup locations, and quote requests. It uses only standard Shopify features: products, variants, metafields, collections, and the contact form.

Which presets does Rentline have?

Rentline has 3 presets:

• Rentline, for equipment and tool rentals.
• Marquee, for party and event rentals.
• Basecamp, for outdoor gear rentals.

All presets use the same sections and settings. Only the colors, fonts, and demo content are different. See Choose a preset.

Can Rentline take bookings or check availability?

No. Shopify does not allow a theme to include booking logic. Rentline shows prices per rental period, collects requested dates and quote requests, and works with booking apps from the Shopify App Store. See Using a booking app.

Do I need an app to use Rentline?

No. Rentline works with standard Shopify features. You can add apps for bookings, reviews, or translations.

How do I set rental prices?

Add an option named Rental period to the product. Add one value for each period, for example 1 day and 1 week, and give each variant its own price. See Setting up rental products.

Can I sell items that are not rentals?

Yes. Do not add a Rental period option to those products. They show a normal price with no period label and no rate table.

Can customers pay a deposit?

The theme does not charge deposits. Explain your deposit with the Deposit and waiver block. To charge a deposit online, use an app.

Can customers choose rental dates?

The Requested dates block lets customers choose a start date. The end date follows from the rental period. The dates are saved on the order, but the theme does not check availability. You confirm each request with the customer. For a live calendar, use a booking app.

Can I use “hire” instead of “rent”?

Yes. Rentline includes British and Australian English with “hire” wording. See Languages.

Does Rentline work with Shop Pay and accelerated checkout?

Yes. Each rental period is a normal Shopify variant, so the cart, discounts, gift cards, Shop Pay, and accelerated checkout work as usual.

Where do quote requests and form messages go?

All Rentline forms use the Shopify contact form. Messages go to the store email address in Settings > Store details. See Where form messages go.

How do I get theme updates?

When a new version is available, Shopify shows it in your theme library. See How theme updates work.

Can I edit the theme code?

Yes, but duplicate the theme first, and edit the copy. Code changes are not copied when you update the theme, and our support does not cover custom code. For custom work, hire a Shopify Partner. See the Support policy.

How do I contact support?
