Switching from Booqable?

Booqable alternative
built into Shopify

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.

Why Shopify merchants switch

Everything stays in Shopify

Booqable 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.

Start free, grow on your schedule

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.

10-language storefront calendar

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.

Free Android Companion scanner

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.

Deposits at checkout, natively

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.

No per-booking cut, ever

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.

Being fair: Booqable is a more complete rental business suite — it includes its own website builder, barcode scanning, repair tracking, purchase orders, and multi-location warehouse management. If you run a large rental operation that needs a standalone platform with its own customer portal independent of Shopify, Booqable is worth evaluating. HyreKit is the better fit when Shopify IS your store and you want rentals to behave like the rest of your Shopify setup — same admin, same checkout, same order history.

Migration is free

Export from Booqable

Export your bookings and products from Booqable's admin as CSV. We support the standard Booqable export format — no manual reformatting needed.

Send it to us

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.

Go live

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.

Try it free — no card needed

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.
