Building a small e-commerce site (equipment rental)

[Whatsmyname]

My daughter (11yr old) wants to start a little business so we've decided on renting some of our gardening equipment out - we want to make a website which I don't think would be too hard using wordpress or the like, its more the rental side - i.e inventory, calendar and payment side of things, I've had a look at stuff like booqable but the monthly charge is quite a lot for something we are not even bothered about making a penny from, would there be any other equivalents that would be more suitable? I.e less cost for a start, custom script?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure what monthly cost you are comfortable with but Shopify is easy to use and costs little unless you use lots of apps!

A quick search brings up numerous WordPress rental/booking plugins. I haven't used any personally, but that would be my first port of call.

Not sure o the rental side, but for sale of goods I use a wordpress template optimised for J2Store, a plugin that facilitates online sales. Impeccable support , a one off payment of 30 or so dollars for the sage pay plugin, and the support can be upgraded to premium for around 120 dollars a year.

I would use WordPress with WooCommerce intergration for e-commerce. Then a number of plugins are available for rentals and appointments.

For the page design I'd recommend the Divi theme for WordPress.

My site is built on WordPress and the Divi theme and we use Divi alot for clients - www.blinkweb.co.uk
