Rental Products on Sendd are ideal for businesses that lend or lease items for a set period of time instead of selling them outright. This feature works well for equipment rental companies, event suppliers, photography gear rentals, party and wedding hire businesses, or even sports and outdoor gear providers.

Sellers can list items customers can reserve for specific dates, making it easy to manage availability and bookings in one place. Instead of coordinating rentals through messages or spreadsheets, Sendd lets businesses handle enquiries, bookings, and payments through a simple storefront.
