Managing Equipment
How to add, edit, and organize your rental equipment in Resytech.
Adding Equipment
- Navigate to Dashboard > Equipment
- Click Add Equipment
- Fill in the details:
- Name — display name shown to customers (e.g., "Single Kayak", "Mountain Bike")
- Description — short summary displayed in equipment lists and cards
- Quantity — number of identical units you have in stock (determines availability)
- Capacity — maximum number of guests a single unit can carry
- Default Occupancy — number of guests each unit inherently carries (defaults to 1). Used for automatic seat calculations when customers add equipment to a booking.
- Activity Assignments — select which activities this equipment should be available for
Equipment Settings Reference
Every piece of equipment has the following configurable fields:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name shown to customers during checkout |
| Description | Short text description shown on equipment cards |
| Details | Extended rich-text description for the equipment detail view |
| Quantity | Total number of identical units in your inventory |
| Capacity | Maximum guests per unit (e.g., 2 for a tandem kayak) |
| Default Occupancy | Guests each unit inherently carries (e.g., 1 for a jet ski) |
| Additional Price | A flat surcharge added to the base rental price for this equipment |
| Enabled | Toggle to show or hide this equipment from customers without deleting it |
| Is Exclusive Across Activities | When enabled, booking this equipment for one activity blocks it from all other activities during the same time period |
Custom Properties
Define properties that describe your equipment. Each property has the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The property label (e.g., "Size", "Color", "Weight") |
| Value | The property value (e.g., "Large", "Red", "25 lbs") |
| Icon Type | How the icon is displayed: 0 = no icon, 1 = built-in icon, 2 = custom icon |
| Icon | The icon identifier or URL (required when Icon Type is 1 or 2) |
| Description | Optional descriptive text for the property |
| Featured | When enabled, this property is prominently displayed on equipment cards in the checkout |
Common Property Examples
- Size — S, M, L, XL or specific measurements
- Color — available color options
- Type/Model — specific make or model
- Weight — equipment weight for customer reference
- Any custom attribute — whatever is relevant to your inventory
Properties help customers choose the right item and help your team identify equipment.
Equipment Media
Upload and manage photos for each piece of equipment:
- Multiple images — add as many photos as needed to showcase the equipment
- Ordering — drag and reorder media to control which image appears first
- Thumbnails — Resytech automatically generates thumbnail versions of uploaded images
- Description — add optional alt text or captions to each image
The first image in the order is used as the primary display image on equipment cards.
Pricing
Set rental pricing for your equipment:
- Hourly rate — for short-term rentals
- Daily rate — for full-day or multi-day rentals
- Custom duration pricing — define rates for specific time periods
- Additional price — a flat surcharge on top of the activity base price when this specific equipment is selected
Pricing modifiers (seasonal, day-of-week) work the same as with activities. See Pricing & Modifiers.
Activity Assignments
Equipment must be assigned to at least one activity to be bookable. Each assignment has its own settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Activity | The activity this equipment is assigned to |
| Quantity | How many units are allocated to this activity (can be less than total inventory) |
| Enabled | Whether the equipment is currently available for this activity |
Activities can also configure equipment behavior at the activity level:
- Max equipment per booking — limits the total number of equipment items in a single booking
- Allow equipment mixing — when enabled, customers can select different types of equipment in one booking. When disabled, they must choose a single equipment type.
Enabling and Disabling Equipment
Toggle the Enabled setting to control visibility:
- Enabled — equipment appears in checkout and is available for booking
- Disabled — equipment is hidden from customers but retains all configuration. Existing bookings are not affected.
This is useful for seasonal equipment or items temporarily out of service.
Multi-Day Rentals
For equipment rented over multiple days, Resytech calculates the end date from the duration and handles:
- Overnight transitions
- Weekend spans
- Timezone-aware date boundaries
- DST transitions during the rental period
