Getting started in 15 minutes

Sign up, add a few items, publish your storefront and take your first booking — in cash, today, with no payment processor required.

Renterra gives you your own branded booking website plus a full admin to run the whole operation. You can be live and taking bookings the same day you sign up. Here's the fast path.

1. Sign up (2 min)

Go to renterra.app/start and create your account. You'll pick your business name and your web address (your slug) — that's the address your customers will book from, at renterra.app/s/your-slug. New accounts start on a 14-day free trial with no card required, and in cash mode so you can take bookings immediately.

2. Add your inventory (5 min)

In your admin at renterra.app/app, open Inventory and add a few of your most-rented items. For each product, set:

You don't need your whole catalog to launch — start with 5–10 popular items and add more later. See Inventory & pricing for the full walkthrough.

3. Build & publish your storefront (4 min)

Head to the website builder at renterra.app/build. You can start from a template, use the AI generator to draft a site from a short description (when AI is enabled on your account), or drag and drop sections yourself. Set your logo, colors and a hero headline, then hit Publish. Your storefront is now live at renterra.app/s/your-slug. Full details in Build your storefront.

4. Share your link (1 min)

Copy your storefront link and put it where customers already find you — your Instagram bio, your Facebook page, and your text replies. That single link lets people browse your catalog, pick a date, see live availability and send you a request. More ideas in Grow your business.

5. Take your first booking (cash)

When a customer submits a request, you get notified. Open the booking in Bookings, review the items and date, and confirm it. With cash mode you simply collect payment on delivery or pickup — no processor, no fees, no cut taken by Renterra. When you're ready to accept cards online, you can connect your own Stripe in a click; the money still goes straight to your bank. Learn the booking flow in Take bookings.

That's it — you're live

You now have a branded booking site, real-time availability and a place to manage every order. Want to see what a finished store looks like? Havana Event Rentals is a real rental company running entirely on Renterra.
