Details on selecting the order duration

* Choosing the order duration

Order duration can also be chosen after selecting the products.

Note that choosing the order duration before selecting the products will show you the immediate availability of all products for this duration. The duration dropdown will however also show you all the rental periods you have defined in all your products' pricing tables. Thus it is possible that you may book a product for a time frame for which you haven't defined a price.

Here is an example:

Presume you have two products for rent: A blue dress and a red dress.

For your Blue Dress, you have created a pricing option for a "2 week" rental
For your "Red Dress" you have only set prices for "1 day", "2 day" and "3 day" rentals

In the manual order creation you are now able to select the order duration "2 weeks" first and then choose the "Red Dress", even though you haven't defined a price for this duration. Rentle will extrapolate your pricing according to the existing pricing of each product. It is recommended to always confirm whether the displayed total sum in an order is correct. Remember that you can always edit order duration and price after you have entered the order manually.
