Setting up a rental business

‎02-23-2022

Hello all,

I am fairly new to square. I was looking around for payment processors and I think square will be the best fit for what I am trying to achieve. I am looking to start a rental business by renting out some of my gear and seeing where that goes. I am looking for a couple of things:

1. Preauthorized deposits. In case the item is not returned/severely damaged.

2. Scheduling (may or may not be possible, I was very interested once I saw the square appointments/services). Looks like you can only do up to 24/48 hours with a 24 hour turnaround time. However, I will be renting out stuff like a tent where people will have if for more than 24h. So I don't think that product will work necessarily (shrug). I am looking into some sort of zapier integration potentially.

Additionally do you think as "sales-based approach" or "service-based" approach would work best?

Thanks in advance
