Minimum setup to launch a rental or resale business

When a customer arrives you must be able to create an order and collect payment, whether they booked online in advance or walked in. This guide covers the lean stack that gets you live quickly while keeping money, inventory, and paperwork under control.

  • Online store for orders, bookings, and secure payments before pickup.
  • Point of sale to create in-store orders and charge cards on the spot.
  • Inventory and catalog to manage items, pricing, taxes, and availability.
  • Order management for check-in and check-out, deposits, refunds, and receipts.
  • Customer records with agreements, ID details, and email confirmations.

Why this is the minimum
