Equipment & Rentals
Add Equipment
How to create a new equipment item in Resytech, including all required fields and initial configuration.
Create equipment whenever you add a new rentable item to your inventory. Equipment is the core building block of the rental system -- every bookable item (jet ski, kayak, party room, bike, etc.) needs an equipment record before it can appear in your booking flow.
Before you begin
- You need access to the Resytech Dashboard.
- Decide on a name, how many units you have, and the maximum number of guests each unit supports.
Steps
- In the sidebar, click Equipment to open the equipment list page.
- Click the Create Equipment button in the top-right corner. A creation dialog appears.
- Fill in the required fields:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | A customer-facing name, 1-50 characters. Must be unique within your location. |
| Quantity | Yes | The total number of units you own (e.g., if you have 5 kayaks, enter 5). Must be 0 or greater. |
| Capacity | Yes | The maximum number of guests a single unit can hold. Must be at least 1. |
| Default Occupancy | No | The number of guests each unit inherently carries. Defaults to 1. For a tandem kayak, you might set this to 2. This is used during scheduling to calculate how many guests a booking can accommodate. |
| Description | No | A short summary shown on equipment cards and listings. |
| Activity Assignments | No | Optionally select one or more activities to assign this equipment to immediately. You can also do this later from the activity settings page. |
- Click Create Equipment.
- You are redirected to the new equipment's detail page, where you can continue configuring pricing, properties, media, add-ons, and amenities.
What happens next
- The equipment is created in an enabled state by default.
- It will not appear in the customer booking flow until it is assigned to at least one activity.
- The additional price defaults to
$0.00. To charge extra for this equipment, see Set Equipment Pricing.
Tips
- Name uniqueness is case-insensitive. "Jet Ski" and "jet ski" are treated as the same name and will be rejected if one already exists.
- Start with accurate quantities. The scheduling engine uses quantity to prevent overbooking. If you add more units later, just update the quantity field.
- Default Occupancy matters for guest-count validation. If a jet ski seats 1 rider by default, leave this at
1. If an add-on later adds a passenger, the system accounts for that separately.
