Equipment & Party Rentals

Equipment & Party Rentals is a Wix app for businesses that hire out equipment, such as party tents, chairs, bounce houses, sound gear, cameras, bikes, kayaks and tools. Customers pick pickup and return dates and times on your Wix site, see only the items that are free for those times, add extras, choose pickup or delivery, and pay at your store checkout. Each item has a stock count, so one listing covers all your identical units, and a unit is held for 15 minutes while a customer pays. There is a Free plan for up to 3 items and 5 online bookings a month; Pro costs $9.99 a month, or $7.49 a month billed yearly, and Business $19.99 a month, or $14.99 a month billed yearly, each with a 14-day free trial. Get it on the Wix App Market.

In short

What it does: a rental shop for your Wix site. You add items with a stock count and a price per hour, per day or per event. Customers choose when they want the items, and the app shows what is free for exactly those times, taking stock, buffers, opening hours and block-outs into account.
Who it is for: party and event hire, equipment and tool hire, bike and kayak rental, camera and AV gear hire, and similar small rental businesses that hold several identical units of an item.
What it needs: a Wix site with Wix Stores (Wix Checkout & Orders) and a payment method, because customers pay through your site’s own checkout. Bookings and orders appear in your Wix Orders.
What it does not do: it does not track serial numbers per unit, draw maps or price delivery by distance, hold a card payment for a deposit, collect signed contracts or give customers accounts. See “Things to know” below.
Price: Free for up to 3 items and 5 online bookings a month; bookings you add yourself in the dashboard are not counted. Pro is $9.99 a month, or $7.49 a month billed yearly (up to 25 items, unlimited online bookings, security deposits, delivery zones and windows, weekly prices, reminders). Business is $19.99 a month, or $14.99 a month billed yearly (up to 200 items, up to 5 pickup locations, custom email text). Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial and are billed by Wix.

Features

Stock per item. Say you own 40 chairs or 3 bounce houses. Customers can only book units that are free for their dates and times.
Rent by the hour, the day or the event. Set an hourly rate, a daily rate or a flat price for up to a number of hours, plus a minimum rental. Weekly prices and discounts for longer rentals are on Pro.
Setup and cleaning time. A buffer before and after each rental keeps the item out of the calendar while you prepare, clean or check it. Buffers are on every plan.
Opening hours and closed dates. Pickup and return times can only be chosen inside your hours.
Pickup or delivery. Customers choose to collect, or to have items delivered to an address. Free has a flat delivery fee; Pro adds delivery zones by postcode and delivery windows.
Extras. Add optional or required extras to a booking, such as set-up help, a generator or a damage waiver. Free has 1 extra; Pro and Business have as many as you need.
Part payment and security deposit. Customers can pay in full, pay part now and the rest later, or pay a refundable security deposit (Pro).
Dashboard. A Today screen with what goes out and comes back and deposits to return, a schedule with day, week and month views, every booking, manual bookings, and block-outs for repairs.
Emails. Customers get a confirmation. Pro adds reminders before pickup and return, and Business lets you edit the email text.
Your site’s language. The booking form follows your site’s language in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and Japanese.

How booking works

A customer opens the rental shop on your site and picks pickup and return dates and times, and pickup or delivery.
The app shows the items that are free for that period, with the price for the period. The customer sets quantities and picks extras.
The customer enters their details and goes to your store checkout, where the rental, extras and delivery appear as lines.
When the order is approved, the booking is confirmed and shows in Today, Schedule and Bookings, and the customer gets a confirmation email.

How stock, holds and buffers work

Stock is checked for the whole period. Units are interchangeable, so the app looks at how many units are out at the same moment, including setup and cleaning time, not at a simple total of overlapping bookings. With 2 chairs in stock, one booked 9 to 12 and another 12 to 15, a third booking from 8 to 16 for 1 chair still fits.
A hold while the customer pays. When a customer clicks Book, the units are held for 15 minutes. If the customer does not pay, the hold ends and the units are free again.
Block-outs. Block part or all of an item’s stock for repairs or private use.
Overlaps. If you lower a stock number after bookings were taken, or add a block-out over a booking, the app emails you about the overlap.

How payments and deposits work

Everything is paid through your Wix checkout. The app never sees card details.

Pay in full, or part now. Part payment is a percentage or a fixed amount; you collect the balance later in Wix Orders.
Security deposit (Pro). You can add a refundable security deposit as its own line at checkout, or note one that you collect at pickup. Wix has no card pre-authorisation hold for this, so an online deposit is a real charge that you refund in Wix Orders when the gear comes back. The Today screen lists deposits to return.
Part payment and security deposit are separate settings. A part payment is part of the rental price; a security deposit is extra money you give back.

How delivery and pickup work

Pickup: set your pickup location and instructions. They appear in the confirmation and reminder emails. Business supports up to 5 pickup locations.
Delivery: the customer enters an address and, on Pro, picks a delivery window you defined, such as 8 to 10 or 10 to 12. For delivery, the booking starts at delivery time and ends at collection time, and setup and teardown time is the buffer.
Delivery fee: a flat fee on Free; on Pro, a fee per zone, set by postcode, and an optional free-delivery threshold. Addresses outside your zones cannot be booked for delivery.

Getting started

Install Equipment & Party Rentals from the Wix App Market and open Apps > Equipment & Party Rentals in your Wix dashboard.
Answer three questions: what you rent out, the name of your first item and how many you have, and what you charge. The app creates the first item.
Set your opening hours and pickup address, and check that your site takes payments.
Add the Rental shop widget to a page in the Wix Editor if it is not there already (it is added on install), and publish the site.
Make a test booking on your live site, paying with a payment method you can refund, and check it in Today and Bookings.

What each plan includes

Free: up to 3 items with stock counts, 5 online bookings a month (bookings you add yourself are not counted), opening hours, setup buffers, schedule and block-outs, 1 pickup location and 1 extra, part payment, a flat delivery fee.
Pro: up to 25 items, unlimited online bookings, security deposits, delivery zones and delivery windows, weekly prices and long-rental discounts, reminder emails, CSV export, pickup sheets and a calendar feed per item. $9.99 a month, or $7.49 a month billed yearly.
Business: up to 200 items, up to 5 pickup locations, custom email text and everything in Pro. $19.99 a month, or $14.99 a month billed yearly.
All paid plans start with a 14-day free trial. Plans are billed by Wix. Items over a plan’s limit after a downgrade are not deleted: the newest are paused and not bookable.

Things to know

The app needs a store checkout with a payment method. It does not take payments itself.
Prices are shown in your site’s currency. Tax is worked out by Wix at checkout from your site’s tax settings.
Wix discount codes work at checkout, but the booking form does not show the discount in advance.
Customers cannot change a booking themselves; they contact you, and you edit the booking in the dashboard.
Delivery fees are flat or by postcode zone. There is no distance pricing, mapping or route planning.
Rental items live in the app’s dashboard, not as Wix Stores products.
Calendars of other services are not imported. The app gives you a calendar feed with the item and time of each booking, without customer details.
Visitors see which items are free for their dates. They never see who booked, and stock numbers only appear if you turn on a “few left for your dates” note.

FAQ

What is Equipment & Party Rentals? It is a Wix app that lets a rental business take bookings for equipment on its own Wix site, with stock counts, hourly, daily or flat prices, delivery or pickup, and payment through the store checkout.

Does Wix have its own rental feature? Wix has a Rentals app, which uses the same resources as Wix Bookings. Wix’s help pages (read 14 November 2026) describe one resource per rentable item, with identical units each set up separately, and say it is available on Wix’s Harmony editor. Equipment & Party Rentals is built around a stock count per item and several items in one booking. If you rent a single bike or a single room, Wix’s own tool may be all you need.

How does it stop two customers booking the same chairs? Each booking checks the units free for the whole period, including setup and cleaning time, and holds them for 15 minutes while the customer pays. The check is designed to run again when the booking is written, so two customers booking at the same moment are not both given the last unit. See How to prevent double bookings for rental items on a Wix site.

Can I take a deposit? Yes. You can take part payment on every plan. On Pro you can also add a refundable security deposit, charged online as a separate line or collected at pickup. An online security deposit is a real charge that you refund from Wix Orders; there is no card hold.

Can I offer delivery? Yes. Free has a flat delivery fee. Pro adds delivery zones by postcode, a fee for each zone and delivery windows. See Equipment rental on Wix: delivery zones, pickup times and opening hours.

What happens when I reach the Free limits? After 5 online bookings in a month, the shop stops taking new online bookings until the next month or until you upgrade. Visitors see your own contact text, never a plan message. Bookings you add yourself in the dashboard are not counted.

What happens to my bookings if I remove the app? Bookings and orders stay in Wix Orders. The app’s own data for your site is deleted 30 days after removal; see the privacy policy.

How do I get help? Email support@kayabyte.dev. We answer within one business day, Monday to Friday, Central European Time.
