Booqable is a capable standalone platform. If your store runs on Shopify, HyreKit keeps rentals where the rest of your business already lives — no second dashboard, no data split.
Install HyreKit — free plan Free migration guideBooqable is its own platform — rental data lives in Booqable's database, orders sync back to Shopify. With HyreKit, bookings, availability, orders, and payments are all native Shopify objects. Your staff works in the admin they already know, and your Shopify reports reflect everything.
HyreKit's Basic plan is permanently free for up to 15 rental products — a real production plan, not a trial. Standard at $14/month scales to unlimited inventory. You see the app working in your actual store before committing to a subscription.
If your customers include German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Estonian, Italian, Portuguese, or Greek speakers, HyreKit renders the booking calendar in their language automatically — no translation plugin needed.
HyreKit's Companion app pairs with your store via a 6-digit code. Scan QR codes to hand items out, scan again to take them back. The large button works with gloves. Offline buffering means a missed connection doesn't lose the transaction.
Refundable security bonds are added as their own clear line in Shopify checkout — no custom theme code, no separate payment flow. Customers see exactly what they're paying; you release it from Shopify when the item comes back.
HyreKit charges a flat monthly fee billed on your Shopify invoice. We take no percentage of rental revenue, no per-booking transaction fee, regardless of how many bookings you process.

Export your bookings and products from Booqable's admin as CSV. We support the standard Booqable export format — no manual reformatting needed.
Send the CSV to our support email. We load your booking history and product catalog into HyreKit so your availability calendar starts from a correct baseline, not zero.
Once your HyreKit calendar is live on your Shopify product pages, you can stop new bookings in Booqable and let existing ones run out on their own timeline — no customer communication required.
Install HyreKit from the Shopify App Store. The Basic plan is permanently free for up to 15 rental products. Your first booking calendar goes live in under 10 minutes.
