Can I use rental software without internet?

Yes, on the phone. With Keep data on this phone turned on, the Requiply mobile app shows inventory, prices and clients, scans codes and prepares bookings with no connection, and it creates bookings on a weak 2G signal. Saving a booking needs at least a weak connection, because the server checks availability.

How do I block bookings on public holidays?

Add the holiday under Settings → Date & time → Holidays and closed days. Pickups and returns cannot fall on it in the app, the client portal, the API or the AI assistants. Turn on Repeat every year for fixed dates like Christmas.

Can clients filter equipment by brand or specifications on my booking page?

Yes. Create a product field such as Brand or Weight, turn on Filter on the booking page and website, and fill it in on your products. A filter appears once at least two products have different values.

Can I reduce the security deposit for one client?

Yes. Open the booking and use the pencil next to the deposit, or the Deposit button while creating the booking. Choose a percentage, an amount, periods or No deposit and add a reason. A deposit already paid with the booking is refunded instead of adjusted.

Requiply 1.3.3: Offline Mobile App, Catalog Filters and Holidays

What's New in Requiply 1.3.3?

This release keeps the counter running when the internet doesn't, helps clients find the right gear on your booking page and takes the guesswork out of handovers and deposits.

1. A Mobile App That Works on Bad Internet

The Confirm step of a new booking on a weak connection with the notice Slow connection. Creating may take up to a minute — No connection: inventory and prices from the phone. A weak signal: the booking still goes through.

Rentals happen on job sites, in basements, at outdoor events and in the mountains, where the signal is often one bar. The app now notices a weak connection and adapts instead of freezing, so bookings and new clients go through even on 2G.

A booking sent on a dropped connection is sent again once the network is back, never twice

Keep data on this phone keeps products, prices, clients and bookings on the phone, encrypted

With no connection, browse inventory, find clients, scan codes and prepare a booking

A badge on your avatar shows a weak or missing connection; tap it to see what works right now

We explain it in detail in Slow and no internet mode for equipment rental businesses.

2. A Catalog Clients Can Browse

portal.requiply.com/stalford-studio-en/items

Clients open a subcategory and filter by the specifications you choose.

Categories can now nest up to five levels: Audio Equipment → Microphones, Video Equipment → Switchers. Every product can carry a description, and any product field can become a filter on your booking page and website.

Drag categories into order or move them with arrows, then save

A Description on each product, shown in the portal and sent to your website

Turn on Filter on the booking page and website for fields like Brand, Connector or Weight

The inventory filter by category includes its subcategories

3. Holidays and Closed Days

The Date & time settings with the Holidays and Closed Days table listing Christmas Day and New Year's Day every year and a one-off Studio stocktaking, and the Upcoming closed days in the schedule preview

Add public holidays and one-off closures under Settings → Date & time. A holiday works like a closed weekday: no pickup or return can fall on it, in the app, the client portal, the API and the AI assistants, while a rental can still run through it.

Repeat a date every year, or close a single day or a whole period

Refusals name the holiday, in your organization's language

Full Day buffers and the AI's working hours treat holidays as closed

4. Adjust the Deposit on One Booking

The Deposit adjustment dialog on a booking: Percent selected, the presets -25%, -50% and No deposit, a reason, and the deposit before and after — Halve the deposit for a regular client, or waive it, with a reason everyone can see.

A regular client, a short rental or a deal made on the phone: the deposit no longer has to follow the policy. Use the pencil next to the deposit on the booking, or the Deposit button while creating it. Choose a percentage, an amount, a number of periods or No deposit, and add a reason.

The price adjustment moved into the same kind of dialog on the booking page, so both are edited in one place.

5. Faster Pickups and Returns

The return checklist of a booking with the progress bar, a code field for typing or scanning unit codes, and products listed one line each with their units and a Mark all button

The handover checklist was rebuilt around how a warehouse actually works.

One line per product with its units; large products open a units list with search

A code field and Mark all on both pickup and return checklists

Assign all picks and checks free units in one step

Units that didn't come back get their outcome in bulk: still with the client, damaged or lost

In the booking form, a scanned or typed unit code lands straight in the item search

6. Take Bookings on Your Own Website

The Website embed settings for WordPress: install the plugin, connect your account with the organization code, add booking to your pages, and the list of shortcodes

Your products and booking cart can now live on your own website. On WordPress, install the plugin and add shortcodes; on WooCommerce, the booking button goes on your product pages. Guides: WordPress and WooCommerce.

Offer services like delivery or setup at checkout, with a price per day, per hour or on request

Your client portal appears on Google once you're on a paid plan, with clean product addresses

Use your own domain for the portal
